Top 10 reasons he doesn’t call

Which number are you?
---------------------------
10. Mental block
“If I was drunk, I might not really remember the person who goes along with the number,” admits Bert, a banker in Newark, Delaware. “Or I might have lost it.”
9. The list
“Some gents are building up their very own ‘I'm Bored/In Case of Emergency’ directory,” says Rachel, an administrative secretary in Manhattan. “You won’t hear from them in the next week or so, but you’ll get a last-minute invitation to a party months later.”
8. Burn unit
“I’ve had a few women give me wrong numbers,” says Al, a professor at the University of Minnesota. “After a couple of burns, you wonder if this new woman’s lying, too — and you’d rather not find out the hard way.”
7. Social grace(less)
“Some men have no idea how to end a conversation tactfully,” says Darlene, a Boston-based business reporter. “They ask for a number because they don't have the backbone just to say ‘nice to meet you’ and walk away.”
6. Dream girls
“Sometimes, I don’t call because I wake up the next morning thinking she’s out of my league,” admits Danny, a marketing executive in Houston. “I figure I’ll save her the trouble of rejecting me by not calling. It’s pretty pathetic, actually.”
5. Improving the pool
“I get many numbers over the course of the evening, and then rate them,” says Anthony, an attorney in New Iberia, Louisiana. “I’ll call the one I like the best. But if she rejects me, I feel it’s too late to call choices 2 and 3. So I just start over.”
4. Instant gratification
“When we get your number, it’s because we're interested in you at that time and place,” says Roy, an entrepreneur in San Francisco. “But actually using the number means too much effort. Dinner, a date, which won't happen without many more calls and emails back and forth, then a second date... a third... and gosh, we don't even know if we really like you.”
3. The uncertainty principle
“If I ask for your number or email, at best, I’m not certain I’m into you,” notes Nigel, a radiologist in Durham, N.C. “If I really wanted to go out with you, I’d go ahead and ask for a date.”
2. Vanity
“Some guys collect numbers for self-esteem,” divulges Lawrence, a product designer in Los Angeles. “He has no intention of calling her — hell, he might not even like her — but he wants to see if she likes him.”
1. Betting man
“Getting or giving digits is like dropping a quarter in a slot machine,” says Ted, a writer in Las Vegas. “It may or may not pay off for either of you, but it's a harmless gamble and a bit of fun. What have you got to lose, other than the quarter?”

Check her owner's manual for instruction:
"Service Interval: 5 to 8 years of operation.
The frontal lobes will begin to wear significantly and must be replaced. They are not user-serviceable. Also, leaking internal seals will cause the chemical balance to be off, resulting in undesirable performance. Replace entire unit as necessary."

The recliner mechanism doesn't want to work any more,must be seized up,centre bearing has dried up and the airbags have lost their pressure....Time to flick the old girl on to a vintage enthusiast,and get me an exotic import with a good clutch and a five speed box..;)

Alternatively there's one other more obvious reason...
... a mate rang me one Sunday morning... very early for a Sunday morning for me as the Sun had not reached noon... as my bleary eyes
scanned for my mobile I could see it was one of my mates...
I answered and he replied...
"Not so friggin loud"
"Okay - what do you want?"
"I need a lift - and I need one now"
"Look it's friggin' early"
"I'm bloody serious"
"Okay, where the hell are you"
"Outside"
"Outside where?"
"Outside the house of the chick I went home with last night"
"Yeah - did she throw you out?"
"Then why don't you ask her where she lives?"
"Cause I MIGHT WAKE HER UP"
"Why's that a problem?"
"She's a case of whisky"
"What?"
"Well you know how chicks look better when you had a beer or two"
"Yeah..."
"I must have had a case of whisky to think she was attractive last night..."
"I'm on my way, look in the letterbox for her address..."
