Dear Rico:
I had this really great date with a really cool guy. He was nice, warm and friendly. But its been two days and he hasn’t called me back. How do I get him to call me?
Call me in Costa Rica
Dear Call: Hmmm, let me check my witchcraft book… no, there’s no secret spell there…. How ‘bout in Voodoo for Dummies? Nope, no magic trick there, either.

Nope, no magic trick there, either.Oh wait, here’s an idea, rather than put the effort into finding an subtle behind the scenes ploy to make him call you, why don’t you, why don’t you stop waiting by the phone and instead pick it up, dial those seven digits and call him?

People like you, Call, put so much passive aggressive energy in trying to make the other party do the work. Instead, you could spend ½ the energy by being responsible for your own darn self by taking the initiative and calling him.
Just think about it Call, in the time it took you to write your worried little letter (not to mention the time you spent waiting for my extremely helpful response) you could have called him and gone on your second great date with your really cool guy. (Or, he may have told you that he wasn’t really into you, and would have shot your request for a second date down….) The point is, either way you would have known by now.
Luv and Licks,
Rico
