Step 1 Be assertive　　1.果断

Be assertive. Guys respond to directness, so don't hint that you'd like a call every now and then. Even a simple, "It'd be great if you called me this afternoon to go over our plans for the evening" will work.

一定要果断。男孩们喜欢言简意赅，不要暗示你随时都希望他打电话。即使简单的一句，“如果你今天下午打电话给我商量一下晚上的计划就好了”，也比较好。

Step 2 Give positive reinforcement　　2.积极的强调

Give him positive reinforcement when he does get around to dialing. Sound happy to hear from him and you'll train him to love giving you a ring instead of dreading it.

当他打电话给你的时候，一定要反应积极。表现出听到他的电话非常开心的样子，这样会训练他喜欢打电话给你，而不是讨厌。

Step 3 Keep it short　　3.保持通话简短

Keep the conversation brief – 10 minutes or less, and keep it light. Chances are, neither of you wants to get bogged down in endless chitchat.

通话简短——最好控制在十分钟以内，而且语气要轻快。你们两人肯定都不想陷入没完没了的闲谈中。

If he calls during the day, tell him you have a meeting in five minutes and can't talk long. Leave him wanting more.

如果他在白天打电话，告诉他你五分钟后要开会，不能说太久。让他更想给你打电话。

Step 4 Be understanding　　4.理解

Understand that many men like texting or e-mailing because they can seem funnier or smarter if they can proofread their thoughts. If he sounds awkward during the call, let it go.

要理解，许多男人喜欢发短信或邮件，因为如果能提前考虑他们的想法，他们会看上去更加有趣，更加聪明。如果在通话过程中他听上去有点尴尬，不要斤斤计较。

Step 5 Have a last resort　　5.最后的妥协

Call him as a last resort. He may follow suit and call you back.

最后的手段就是，主动打电话给他。他会照做，回电话给你。

The first cellular phone was a Motorola that weighed 2 pounds, offered a half hour of talk time, and sold for $3,995 in 1984.

1984年问世的第一部手机是摩托罗拉，重达2磅，可以提供半小时的通话时间，售价3,995美元。
