"We&amp;amp;#8217;ve got a different sort of relationship dilemma this morning. One reader is worried for a friend who might be phoning it in. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s our curious reader&amp;amp;#8217;s email: One of my best friends (a guy) has fallen in love for the first time. When I asked if there were any developments, he said he&amp;#x27;d called her recently and left a message. Thing is, he called her at 9:30 at night. I was horrified that he&amp;#x27;d called so late, because my parents never took calls (or let me take calls) after 9. I told him that he needed to be more courteous and call her earlier in the evening or wait until the next day. Plus then he&amp;#x27;d be more likely to find her at home. I know it&amp;#x27;s kind of an unspoken code, but what time is too late to call someone? Especially someone you&amp;#x27;re crushing on? As compared to someone you&amp;#x27;re in a relationship with, or a family member, etc? And here are my thoughts: Thanks for emailing! It&amp;amp;#8217;s so sweet of you to be concerned for your friend. I think you&amp;amp;#8217;re right on. While we are in the age of cell phones and less and less of us have land lines, it doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t mean that common courtesy should be thrown out the window. We&amp;amp;#8217;ve all been there been there: excited at the prospect of a new romance, but there are polite and downright rude times to call. Also, there are tons of movies movies that show how a over-zealous attitude can sometimes cloud our judgment and prematurely end an otherwise budding relationship. Swingers, anyone? Here&amp;amp;#8217;s what I would recommend: If it&amp;amp;#8217;s a new crush I&amp;amp;#8217;d call at times where I&amp;amp;#8217;m sure they&amp;amp;#8217;ll answer. In the afternoon say 4pm, but not after 9pm. And the more the relationship progresses, the more that window opens up. What do you all think? Is our helpful friend right? Is there an unspoken code of acceptable calling times for new crushes? What&amp;amp;#8217;s the latest you&amp;amp;#8217;d answer a call from a new beau? And what&amp;#x27;s the latest you&amp;#x27;d give a new guy a call?
