I love it when they call!! I totally divert the conversation into anything I want to talk about and then end it. I had one lady on the phone for about five minutes talking about the weather and stuff.

There was a girl in my high school that did that all the time.  It was so funny, she would be so into her convo, and then her phone would ring!  Haha!  I thought it was hilarious, and apparently, other people did too.  She finally quit doing it when she realized we had caught onto her!

sometimes you dont want a full conversation. calling my frenz sometimes is a hassle. to call and just say hello, good morning. how are things. well ttyl.....im going into a movie...not really worth the time of calling. just simpler.

When you can't find anything to talk about then get off the phone :)

my favorite line to telemarketers is to tell them im busy right now and if they will give me there home phone number i will call back. when they say no, i say oh i guess you dont like people bothering you at home either. and then i hang up.

It is a bit rude to use someone else's phone to make a call wtihout asking.\n\nI would keep a wary eye on this one.

hell no!!! They kick butt!!! I always get those calls and they are awesome.  Pure hilarity.  Also you can get friends to say things they normally wouldnt ever  say sober like ask them about the sex change operation they were considering a few weeks ago. Its soooo funny.

LOL.....man......I wish I had caller ID a few times too. I had this exact same thing happen to me! You described it well too. I thought I'd split a gut when you said that about the caller ID....ROFL.\n\nWell meaning person, sweet, intelligent....but MAN, just could not understand plain, well-stated english.\n\nOk.....I don't know which way you want to go....\n\n....but I tried and tried...and tried and tried and tried and tried....and did I mention that I tried?...to be polite, respectful, caring.\n\nTo carefully lay barriers (even tho I wanted to hide in a tank), talked with her, communicated in person, on the phone. And it's not like we were strong buds or anything it was just a low-level friendship, but she was treating me like a nuclear-powered soul mate. It was very inappropriate.\n\nI'd speak to her....kindly, clearly, but the message did not sink in. I asked her about what her feelings were, and she squarely, flatly said friendship. I asked her several times...just to be sure, and she emphatically said friendship. \n\nI tried my best to be this woman's friend, but it was never enough. She demanded more and more of my time and attention. It got worse and worse, and I communicated more and more firmly with her. I was starting to look for tickets to the next Shuttle launch so I could get away.\n\nI eventually had to warn her that she was quickly going to lose a friend if she didn't cut it out.....and she didn't....and I had to finally be rude to her. :(\n\nIt's a shame, but I wanted to make sure I did everything I could on my end, to give her every possible chance to keep the friendship. Severing a frendship is a pretty major thing, and I felt bad but things were getting pretty trippy.\n\nDunno what you can glean outta all this, but I wish you luck!     :D

Um, phone sex? That's what I do with my current interest when we get bored on the phone. And usually, it's pretty hot!\n\nIf you want to keep things clean, maybe you could read up on current events and use an interesting one as a springboard for a philosophical conversation/debate.

Sorry, I also do the same. But its just for fun to relax from work tension. But not regularly. And surely not if somebody is seriouly talking on serious subject.\nBut I am afraid that you are using your phone for at least 8 hours continuously. And they want to save you!

they don't know. sort of like when a person gets cut off from a mobile phone conversation and the other just keeps on blabbing on for like 10 minutes before realising there's noone there. ;-)

If u had phoned to say that, would u expect her to say something about the call?\nIt is usually 'mutually understood' that the message(which ever tech. u use) is sent and received. No mention of it has to be made.\nDon't take it personal. \nHowever feel free to bring it up if u really want to know how she feels.

Hmmmm.  Last time I went was kinda weird.  My stylist told me her sister was seriously ill in the hospital with a sometimes fatal disease.  A couple times during the "foil" she hurried out to take phone calls.  As it turned out, her sister wasn't in as bad shape as they thought.\n\nI hate to say this, but I kept wondering if she was going to mess up my hair, being so worried about her sister.\n\nAnyway, we normally talk about our kids, vacations, weather, light stuff.

the deeper meaning of life..\nuhmm no, seriously, you can't force conversation..and if the conversation dies than it's just time to end the phone call. it's not that huge of a deal. i feel ya though, i'm not a phone person and i'm always stuck trying to come up with shit to talk about..but like i said.. you can't force it. if you have talked about your day, her day, and some stuff in between than there isn't much else you can do..

My lady manages to make me feel like that all the time. When we talk on the phone, when we visit in person, and even when we webcast with each other. She has capivated my heart with her kindness and caring  as well as her honesty and openness. I cant put my finger on any single thing, but more on all of the little things in conjunction with one another.

I live in Kansas and have been getting them 5 or 6 an evening, mostly the same call.  I thought with the NoCall list we weren't supposed to get them.  They are particularly annoying as I have decided who I am voting for and will not be swayed by a recorded message.  \n\nBy the way, I hope all of YOU are registered and planning on picking up your friends and going out tomorrow and voting for the candidate of your choice!
