Dear Queenie,
I went out with this guy last night and just fell in love with him right away. Now I can’t sleep for thinking he might not like me as much and waiting for him to call me for another date.
Queenie, how long should I wait for him to call me and how do I get over it if he doesn’t?—Lady-in-waiting
Dear Lady,
What you are going through is a crush, not real love.
Real love is built on shared experiences and emotions over a fairly long period of time, which you do not have with “this guy.”
Wait a few days for him to call. If he has not called after a week has passed, feel free to give him a “Hi, how are you?” call and see how he responds. However, do not be surprised if he does not show much interest and do not take matters any further unless he does.
