We guys go through a different experience as we have to hold on. But I made it a point to cut the call just to make her call back..
It was my first phone call after reading a book how to read girls and his mantra was don't hesitate to cut the call even when you are flowing good.
It worked great and I cut call about 5 times for a phone conversation that lasted from 7 pm to 4 am .. and she came home the very next day..
Reasons
- hang my clothes
- need to fetch my dinner
- gtg bathroom
The days of landline and internet emails.. and pager.

I tell them we have a really bad connection, that I can't hear them, and if that doesn't work, I use my little old lady voice and tell them I can't understand what they are saying! 🤣🤣🤣 Mostly I just don't answer my phone...at all...ever. 🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou I use the little old lady voice sometimes with scam callers. Letting them think they can manipulate me, but then start asking them to repeat what they’ve said because I don’t understand. They finally give up and hang up.

@cherokeepatti I told ONE caller, who made it through on my cell phone, that I really would consider the huge loan they were offering me, and that I would NOT block his number...told him I just had to research my debts first, told him it was okay to call me back, and then blocked his number...🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou I’m thinking of telling them I am busy with something urgent, leave your name & number and I’ll call you back when it’s convenient to me. Then never do. Cause they will never leave a name & number.

Nothinbg to do with "Relationships", but to cut a call short when I realised its criminal intent. I used an "appointment" and "already a bit late" as the excuse.

@4meAndyou Well, at one time there were many companies trying telephone-sales of thing slike conservatories, and prople came up with all sorts of Little White Lies to get rid of the cold-callers:
"I'd love in a conservatory but live in a fourth-flat".
"Sorry - I'm on benefits and living in a housing-association place".
And so on.
One evening perhaps twenty years ago now, a gentleman with an Asian accent telephoned me, trying to persuade me to buy a telephone contract. He told me the prices and I said, truthfully, "My portable telephone is on PAYG and costs me less than half what your contract would." (That is still true.)
He wouldn't take no for an answer and tried a new tactic: replacing himself with a young lady. "AHA!" I thought, "The charm offensive!"
I managed to get her off the subject of telephones, partly because I was civilised. She said so often they get only abuse from the people they call. I refrained from pointing out that is wrong of them but hardly surprising. "Angel" as she said her name was, finally finished our very pleasant chat about half an hour later.
She rang again a week or so later, just for another chat! I warned her to be careful though. She was supposed to be selling 'phone contracts, not ringing strangers around the world just to talk.
A third call from Angel, and again I warned her. I never heard from her again so I do hope my warning had not come true that she might be dismissed, or at least moved away from the sales desk.

Baby crying, need to fold the laundry, got another call, sorry, not interested.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@TexChik I told a telemarketer one time after she wouldn’t shut up that I left my baby in the bathtub. She shut up real quick. 😆
