30 Reasons She Didn’t Call You Back

Many wine-soaked ladies’ nights have been spent analyzing why some dude hasn’t called. It’s a question that can plague us women for weeks before we finally get over it and move on already. But rarely do we consider the torment we put poor guys through when we don’t call them. Maybe they called after a first date and we never got back to them, or maybe we met them at a party or a bar and gave them our numbers, never to return their first (or second or third) attempts to reach us. For all the men — and lady-loving’ women — reading this and wondering she hasn’t called YOU back yet, here are 30 reasons:
