From my experience (well, French girls are supposed to be special, but...), if I give my number to a guy , I want him to call me. I think there are two (or three [or four]) options :
- WHETHER the first call wasn't as she expected, she was bored, and then she doesn't want you to call her back anymore. It's just that you weren't what she supposed. Sometimes people in private are very different from what we expected before.
- OR she was quite angry when you called her, because she was ....(anything that can make a girl angry, or bothered, or anything). Perhaps then you should just wait one month or 2, and call her before dinner someday, when you feel it. For some girls it's perfectly normal and she could even blame you to your father in 2 months that you DON'T call her.
If what you told us is true, she didn't told your father that the fact that you call her is a problem, but only the "too much" part. I don't think it means that "I don't want you to call me anymore".
If it was me, i could have told myself "well, I don't really want him to call me EVERYTIME I have a problem" and she feared you could become invasive.
- Perhaps it's just you misunderstood : she didn't tell this to your father, or your father didn't understand well. In my opinion, and if it's really a girl with whom you work, you should just talk to her. If it's just a misunderstanding, it will be fine. And if it's not, she will probably tell you.
- The last explanation is that you didn't really told us everything. Did you send her a lot of messages or emails, for example ?
Ps : Alice is a lovely name. Good choice
