Do women really want a man that is almost never available?

I always hear that women are attracted to men who wait before making phone calls, even though I always waited days or even weeks between phone calls and I still haven't been on a date. Does waiting really make a person look confident, because I feel like I am bending over backwards waiting for someone against my will.

Its a way of playing hard to get, for those who enjoy such games. I say if you genuinely like the person, don't wait.

I don't want a guy that goes quiet for weeks and days and months and never answering my calls or emails or IMs. It's like not having a partner at all.

NO.

In fact I am dating a boy right now (he has aspergers) that is AFRAID OF COMMITMENT. It wish he would call me up more often to go do something. I really want to be with him, almost every single day. I would absolutely LOVE a guy that has time for me.

Some girls like wanting what they can't have.

But for the purpose of a relationship, what Cafe and League have said I've found to be quite true. They want to spend time with their partners. As what I have seen, there is a fine line between spending too much time away, or too much time with. Every needs a break from each other as well.

Some people want what they can't have. Some only want what they can't have, and would be quite devastated if they actually had it.

But yeah, there's perhaps not being 'too much' - say, letting a dating experience settle and getting a little distance and persepective on it - and there's plain not showing any interest.
