When leaving a message, please do so very clearly. The single most common reason for not getting a call back is due to a name and number I was unable to hear clearly.   Be sure to leave both your name and number. I ignore messages that do not include both. If you have left your message in the evening or over a weekend I may not have gotten it right away. I may have decided to forego returning your call because of the time that has passed. Please try again. I do not mind your keeping in touch between dates, however phone calls/messages/emails requesting a date will take priority over the "let's just chat" variety.
