When a guy and a girl exchange numbers.. how come the woman expects the man to call first? Whats the psychology behind that?

Old school....it doesn't matter who calls first in this time....my guess is people are scared of rejection....

We live in a society in which it is expected that men are generally active and women are generally passive. In romantic terms, we still expect a man to 'pursue' a woman. It's very old fashioned, but that's still what most people expect.
In my experience, lots of women would be happy to call men first, only it's surprising how often men really don't like it if you do!

I am not sure, I do not fall into this category, If I am interested, and obviously I am if I accepted the number. I would call, who cares. God bless****

Erm... I guess we don't want to seem needy, whereas you guys probably WILL call because you like the chase? You hunters and gatherers YOU!!!

I think guys should "activate", because from then on, women control the "rate."
