Why do women call a guy just to say hi and want to know what they are doing while the guy is at work?

A)  To check in and see if you are there\n\nB)  To say Hi, because they miss you\n\nC)  To see if you will ask them out or if you two have plans, to firm them up.\n\nAnd probably a few reasons that I missed :)  Be grateful that she is thinking of you and have that put a smile on your face :)\n\nIf it is a problem that she calls and it's not for 'emergency' purposes, then it's your 'job' to let her know that your work number is not for chatting, it's for emergencies and to please use it only for that purpose :)  \n\nBest wishes!

It's an ego boost, which satisfies that part of the male psyche which has an imaginary harem at his beck and call.\n\nWomen are equally capable of behaving like this.\n\nIt's also a safe way to feel good about yourself because you know it doesn't have to go any further and you are in control, you've got someone liking you and perhaps dangling on your words.

its the macho stuff.  they want to show how independent they are and how they can work on you. Guys never learn smart people have more respect for those that show respect than smart a--es.

It is ok for guys to have male friends. It's just easier for women to call each other "girlfriend" than it is for guys to call each other "boyfriends". Kinda makes my skin crawl just thinking of it.

prolly because A LOT has happened in their life from the time they gave u their number until the time u called and believe it or not you probally are NOT the only girl in their lives! if u wait about a day to call they will probaly be like "huh? who is this?" so u'd better call the same day they give u their number! as for caller id...i dont know too many people that have their phone in their name!

Because women have the tendency to intimidate guys and many of us are scared of rejection. Let the guy your writing to know that you want him to.

Pay attention to what he does and not what he says. Of course, there are two sides to a story. I would say he was being polite showing your friend around work. He might be telling your friend what SHE wants to hear and not necessarily what he will do. If he does not respond to email, try calling him. I believe IF a man is interested in a woman, HE will persue her. Maybe it is time for your friend to move on. If he is really interested he would email, he would call, etc.

I  sense some hostility with the answers so far so ill be very careful. if u just met than there is a cardinal rule never call in the first 4-5 days so that they dont think ur all over them or desperate. if thats not the case than he either has a good reason like in the hospital or just lied it happens not only men do this though and i hope that the other ladies who read this will acknowledge that. women are just as bad as men if not worse because their better at it.

Well,my Hubby always greets me with 'Hi sexy',even if I'm looking like something the cat just dragged in!Builders in particular,seem to always greet females with,'Alrite Luv/Darling/Sweetheart and a lot of younger females greet their mates with,'Hi Hun'.\nOf course,there are times when the greeting isn't as affectionate..

A "Hi" would have done, but they don't like to do that.\n\nWomen like to maintain their position of total power.\n\nMen are like their puppets, they make you do all the work.

It means she is not interested in you at all.\n\nIt could also depend on the way you say "hi".    If you say "hi" with a sincere smile (not a come on smile) most people will say "hi" back and smile at you.  Try smiling and saying "hi" to strangers.....you will be surprised at how many will say "hi" back....if done correctly.\n\nThanks for the two points.

"Hey.  I know you're about to move but I've had my eye on you and I wanted to know if you would like to get together after work for some drinks and maybe dinner?"  I would love for a woman to be that straight forward with me instead of beating around the bush with stupid signals like staring and laughing.  That stuff is garbage, ladies.  Men want you to say what's on your mind.

I think your asking how to approach a female you don't know so she will like you.  I would like it if a guy came up to me and asked me what my name was, told me his, and we had a normal conversation and he told me he was interested in talking more and would ask for a phone number or give me his.  No lines, no gimmicks, just a simple getting to know you conversation.  I hate it when guys whistle at you and yell hey from across the street.  Its so disrespectful.

No, not necessarily. It can be part of normal conversation, especially if the question is coming from a woman because women tend to talk like that. The clincher is, however, the manner in which she asks it. Has she been flirting with you already? When she asks it does she seem like she wants to know because she may be interested herself? does she lean in when she talks to you? all of the above could be signs she is interested in you and that is why she wants to know -- for herself. But if a woman just asks you it in an ordinary way between other regular conversation, I'm sorry but it means nothing and she is just trying to fill in conversation. Good luck.

What is she crazy? It's a win/win situation. These situations never backfire and always work out!(Can you feel my sarcasm?)Or maybe your female bosses are afraid that once they have a taste of you they will always be craving you and it might interfere with work. I,m the same way with your questions, I can't stop answering them! \n\nIs there brown on my nose? Don't pick me for best answer again or people will think I,m your "answers pet". Ahh who cares, pick me! Pick me!

I can see where your coming from, and you'reon the right track. You see it all depends on the women/girl. Some girls automatically expect for them to say hi, to where others find it odd because they have no idea who you are. I mean yeah, if you're standing right next to someone and there's dead silence between you two, the nice thing would be to say "Hello" orr a simple "Hi, my name's _______" \n       I recommend saying this. If the girl/women doesn't seem interested in talking, then obviously you drop the conversation. But if she continues by saying "Hey, I'm _______" then of course she's interested in talking with you.\n"Do you get upset if nothing is said and he leaves and acts like you're not even there" ... well, in a way yes. But on the other hand no. In my personal opinion I sometimes take it as "Well he thinks I'm not pretty, so he doesn't bother to say hi or anything." But on the other hand, I didn't start the conversation either. \n     It matters but "small talk" is always a nice thing. ust about all the time, I find it rude when someone's right next to me and not a word is said out of him, or another girl for that matter. \n    It all depends on the girl that's next to you. It can never hurt to start a conversation, wheather she puts in an effort to continue it or not,  then you know its alright to be quiet.
