Is it ok to call a girl every night?

I got her phone number now, and we’ve hung out the last few nights. I usually call her really late and we’ll talk. And now Im beginning to think that I’m calling too much. Should I take a few days off or something?

Why not ask her? Every girl is different after all. One may tell you to cut it out, while another will want you to call. Just ask her if you’re calling too much, and if she says that you’re not, let her know that she can tell you if you are, if in the future she finds it to be a little excessive that is.

it’s okay to call if she wants you to, but you have to think about how much of her time is being eaten by you. maybe she puts off things she needs to do in order to spend more time with you. she’s probably just as excited as you are, but be considerate of her time. she probably has things she needs to do and you probably do too. its just a thing to keep in mind, you don’t want to take over each other’s lives.

Play it by ear would be my advice. If you guys are still talking for hours on end every time you call, keep calling. If you call every day and there start to be long pauses or uncomfortable silences then you might want to lay off the calls. Just be sure to make time to hang out in person after that.

Yea, you’re right, that’s why I usually call her at night time, but she’ll be so tiring:)

It depends on your age. If you are still in high school but calling her late at night, I think her parents may not deem you too favorably. But if you are an adult and she is too, and this is a good time for both of you to talk and she gives indications that she likes talking to you (she doesn`t sound tired, yawn, mention she has to get up in the morning, etc) then it might be okay. However, if your instincts are saying “give it a couple of days break” then I would go with my gut feeling because your instincts are often right.

I am out of school(19) and she’s turning 17. But please don’t bring anything up about child molesting stuff or anything underage. If you live in Alaska then you’d know what I’m talking about:)

as long as you can have conversations, that’s the green light. if she starts making odd excuses to do, or sounds distracted all the time, then maybe tone it down a bit. but if she’s cheerful and has things to contribute to the convo, then that’s a good sign.

Child molestation over a telephone call? That was the last thing on my mind, but since she`s 16 going on 17, I`m assuming she is still school age and under her parents` roof so you might want to consider not calling so late. I doubt I would be happy with someone calling my daughter late at night. Since it is the summer break, why can`t you call her during the day or early evening?

We’re not only talking on the phone, but we’re also hanging out. I tend to keep things slow unlike some rest. But I understand what you’re telling me, but that’s usually the time when everyone’s quite for both of our families. And for me and her, we just feel more comfortable talking to eachother at night. I don’t know the word for it but it just feels better at night.

Have you met her parents? How do they feel about you?

I get that talking late at night is most comfortable because it`s when you have the most privacy without being interrupted. It`s a cozy, intimate time. It`s a time when people wind down and relax from all the distractions and work of the day. So as a woman, I get this, but as a parent of a daughter I think I would not like a boy calling my daughter late at night partly because it is such an intimate time and partly because I would be concerned about my daughter being kept up late into the night. Of course, every family is different and every parent is different, but getting on the parents` good side only helps you. So you might want to ask your girlfriend if her parents mind her talking this late at night.

Yea see that’s the thing, her dad is married to my far far away aunt. Which in my culture, that makes him my uncle. So her parents knows my family(me included). That’s how I know that they don’t mind her talking late at night. Because it is summer she is allow to stay up. So that’s the story about her parents and her and me talking late at night. And yup, I took many advice and called her in the day now:)
