| My advice: First get an idea of when she's available. If she's got a regular 9 to 5 job, it's a snap - call her about 8 pm, which is after dinner, but not too late. General rules are 7pm for dinner, and don't call after 9pm. Sunday evening is the best day, friday evening and saturday evening are the worst days - if you call then it's like "um... why aren't you out partying?" Pretty much never call at those times. Unless of course you are trying to invite her out to this awesome thing you just realised is on. (These aren't rules, just guidelines, once you understand them you can be more flexible) Week days tend to have "gym" and other after work activities but you just have to call and find out. Otherwise, in conversation, get an idea of when she's available, what days she goes to Uni etc.
Then just call. Never text beforehand.
If you don't have any idea what her lifestyle is like, just call at 8pm on a weekday or sunday night. Start with that.
If it rings out, and it's early days (where you kinda need to set up a day 2 before the spark wears out) then follow the missed call straight away with a simple text "Hey just tried to get a hold of you. Will call later." and call again next evening or day after, if you're busy.
Exception to that is If you've known her for a while and you're just trying to re-ignite things, no big deal if it rings out, no need to follow up with a text if the spark isn't even going yet. Just call like a week later or something, get to other girls in the mean time if she doesn't return call. You don't want to convey an impression that you just suddenly started thinkng about her out of the blue and need to contact her right away
Anyway, back to day 2 girl - if you call again, and it rings out again, send a text asking when is a good time to call. Don't send a single text after that.
The PUA advice leads to a dead end where both of you aren't available for each other. No idea why they keep peddling that shit. What you do is make the first move - then if it's not working, ask her when is good for her. If that doesn't work then she's not interested, move on.
Same applies for setting a date to catch up. If she turns down your offer, don't offer another day, - just ASK he what day works for her. This sends the message - okay I tried, ball is in your court now. Especially if you picked Friday or Saturday (which are date days, and you should) she needs the chance to offer you a non-date day, probably even a quick coffee, nothing big, to just suss out your personality - use that time to make her want more.
If she replies by being vague "Oh I don't know, I'm really busy at work, I'll let you know when I'm free" that my friend is a blow off, and you say your goodbyes and move on to the next girl.
