So if you call a girl and leave a voicemail saying "call me back" and the girl doesn't...

Is that a clear sign give up? Or is that her playing hard to get, and I should to make at least one more attempt?

Or is it just me overthinking this?

you made the initial contact, its up to her to respond. any further attempt to contact would display neediness. especially in a short period of time.

Just don't get into this situation guys.

Most girls even if they are into you let it go to voicemail on the 1st call cause they want to see what you will do. Regardless, the 1st time I call I always leave the message "hey this is dave, I'll talk to you later" it keeps it short & that sets the frame well be talking later (got this from Mehow I think, works well).

I certainly don't want to put the burden on her to call me back innitialy because a lot of girls are shy. Ill call back in a couple days. If it goes voice mail on the 2nd time. I'll wait a day or two and start texting little things to hook it again, maybe even wait a week. If they don't respond to text then it's probably a lost cause but at this point if shes worth it, I'll text her back in a couple weeks. Cause I've had some sucess doing that and what do you have to lose.

I say maybe send a text a few days later? Be casual about it?

start off by texting first. it sparks the attraction, spikes her bt then from there you can set up a phone convo. if you cold call she may not have your phone # saved or she could have lost the attraction. its easier for a girl to ignore the call than go thru the awkwardness of not being invested the in the phone convo.

i would only call if i knew the number was solid. if you feel its not a solid number text first.
