My boyfriend does not call me is a common complaint among dating women.
It's beyond frustrating when you are in a relationship with a man who can't seem to pick up the phone to dial your number.
Always being the one to call is never fun and it can easily lead to feelings of rejection and frustration.
If you're a woman in this situation there are a few things you can do to get the man in your life to call you.
Our initial reaction when your boyfriend doesn't call is likely going to be to pester him about it.
As women, we want to remedy any problems in our relationships as soon as possible.
This will typically translate into us telling our boyfriend that we're not happy with his behavior and then insisting that he promise to call more often.
If he doesn't live up to his promise, we'll either get very angry or feel very hurt.
The problem is that when your boyfriend isn't calling, talking to him about it isn't going to fix anything.
In fact, it may make the issue that much worse.
The very best way to get him to call you is to stop calling him.
If he promises to call you and then doesn't, don't pick up the phone to call him.
If you do that you're sending a clear message that he can break his promises without repercussions.
You may get a bit testy but you'll forget about it before long and it won't change his habit of not calling.
A much more effective approach is not call him until you hear from him.
Some women get worried about this and fear that their boyfriend just won't call if they don't reach out to him.
He will call.
The moment he realizes you haven't been in touch, he'll pick up the phone and dial your number.
