Stop making excuses. A girl will pick up the phone if she LIKES you.Hate the game.. said:Dude I get it, you HATE texting. Lemme give this to you straight, I'm 22 and this is the way things work. Its the truth, ask anyone my age, calling is not an option so early in the game. If I did, then I can guarantee you she would react like this: "why is he calling me?" and not pick up. Then I'm totally dead in the water. You're 30 years old, girls your age expect different things then those my age.
