How many calls is too many?

[Wakka Wakka]

This is a question for the ladies, though all opinions are welcome.

Here’s the scenario.

Normally when I meet a lady it’s been arranged well in advance so any phone calls on the day are just to confirm the location and time, and usually it’s with ladies I know well so it’s all a very relaxed experience.

But what about when it’s someone new?

A lady I’ve never met, but someone I really want to meet, is touring in my town. She’s no email and her number only appears when her profile is activated so I can’t attempt to book a meeting in advance.

When the profile is active I try to ring her, a couple of calls over a few hours but each time I get voicemail. Now, of course, she may be busy with any number of things and I fully accept that she will only answer the phone when it’s convenient for her, quite rightly.

My question is how many phone calls is acceptable during her tour to indicate that I would very much like to meet her without going over the top?

Would a lady be put off with a number of missed calls from one number and be less inclined to make contact?

I’m sure when a popular lady checks her calls during a tour she may have any number of messages appear, will she call the first one back and if they agree to a meeting proceed from there and ignore the rest or will she ignore all missed calls as enough callers will get through to her anyway and be happy to go on from there?

(I know sometimes a lady will ring a number back once when she becomes available, the call costs her nothing and the receiver gets a missed call from her number so knows to ring her back, but this scenario is about when that doesn’t happen)

Essentially ladies if someone new tries to contact you, but keeps missing you, how many times do you think it’s acceptable for him to try to contact you before you’re put off and decide to ignore him?
