It's really the reality of 21st century and the downfall of technology, rather than the dynamic of dating. Nowadays, people don't pick up their phone as nearly as often anymore. They always resort to text which is easier to sneak one out while they're busy or at work and more importantly less pressure.
The trick with phone calls is picking a right time slot. Lunch time and early evening is the best to have a quick conversation on the phone. 5-10 minutes top just to touch bases and set a date. Those time slots also make you appear to have a busy life rather than just bump around all day. I'm not a big fan of talking on the phone for more than 30 min just to chit chat, unless it's my girlfriend or the attraction is heading towards that direction.
In short, call them around lunch and between 6 pm to 8 pm (which they are less likely to already have plans for the night or the next day). You don't have to prep it first with a text, it's like asking their permission to call.
Be unpredictable and bold, call them out of the blue. It'll be more effective because you just randomly think about them and call. If they don't pick up, leave a short message clearly stated your intention to call.
For EX:
Hey Kelly, my friend just told me about this incredible sushi place, so I thought about you since you're such a sushi fanatic like me. I'm gonna check them out tomorrow, you're more than welcome to come show me your amazing chopsticks skill. Give me a call back before 8:08 pm.
1. I told her to come, not ASKING her to.
2. I recalled our common interest to remind her of our comfort and attraction.
3. I gave her a timeline to increase the chance that she will call back.
4. I use odd time mark to provoke her curiosity - she will be sitting there wonder what will happen after 8:08 if she doesn't call and why such a specific time.
5. I teased her at her chopstick skill to bait her into my challenging hoop.
In all, you don't have to say a lot, just a short yet effective message will do. That's it. Try it out and let us know how it turns out.
Sounds good, will give this a shot. If she doesn't pick up, you leave voicemails or a text?
