Do you have ping pong issues with your friends, spouse or relatives? Let me esssplain…So if you get in touch with a friend/spouse/relative, do you expect them to contact you the next time?
Sometimes there are ego issues in relationships too….some people hold back their emotions just because it isn’t their ‘turn’ to make a contact. Are you doing justice with yourself and others?
Some are just indifferent…you make a contact..Great! if you don’t, fk u, life goes on..is this an acceptable social behavour?
This is how you get into playing games.
Yikes, you know what this has really annoyed me in the past several weeks. I'm always the one making the effort to stay in touch while others don't even try. I realize sometimes people have busy lives, school, work and families but why become friends with someone when you can't handle having friends in your life. I think people just like collecting friends and than don't know the proper manners about keeping in touch. That's why I prefer to have intimate group of friends rather than a whole village.
Its annoying when Im always the one trying to keep in touch with people.They should make an effort sometimes.
haan ji bilkul… u tell em girl 
boss: i teach u how to make kichri during ure not so good days and u forget bout ure hukka suckin friend… bah
Take it as a hint that maybe they don't want to be in touch with you.
Dont expect anything from anyone .
I'm one of those who rarely ever takes the initiative. Not cuz I'm on some ego trip but because 1) the other person makes me uncomfortable or 2) I'm not into social stuff.
do it twice.. then wait and write 'em off if they don't ping back.. simple.

Problem is I get sooo frustrated that I try a third, fourth, fifth and sixth time and then they think I'm stalking them :D

as long as you understand their circumstances..maybe they had stuff going on due to which they were unable to cal you back, or not in the right mental state to call u back.
friendships etc are a two way street, and whereas calling etc does not have to be a one call to one call equity there, some ppl like to call more than others, but the appropriate amount of effort needs to be there.
I think everyone plays 'ping pong' lol..
.. dont understand how spouses do it, it's weird..
Some people are lazy,, they just take their time to contact so it doesnt mean theyre waiting for you to call or nething..theyre just lazy....
I think my acquaintances have this issue, but not friends..

hence the wait Pir Ji.. and I never said don't resume relations if they ever do call back and/or u get to know the actual circumstances they face..
i haven't talked to a friend for like 3 years now.. he's in the States.. but he's here to get his son treated for some birth defects in his vision. which involves multiple operations over a long period of time as he grows up... i don't expect him to be in the frame of mind to call friends to chit chat.. so i did the two pings and am now waiting.

These games are such a waste of time.
If I want to contact people and opportunity is there, I would and vice versa. Life is too short for playing games.
ab aap jaisa wisdom sab main hota Babaquack
tow kia baat thee. Tell me about it. Some people don’t want to use their mind. They want others to reciprocate without realizing what hell the other person has to go through to do all that.
But when someone has played this pingpong long enough with you, you gotta give them some benefit of doubt, eh. Magar zalim samaj kahan samajhta hai.
Waisay, if I speak strictly with regard to my friends then I am the guilty party. They always make an effort and take the initiave to reach out to me. God Bless them! 
Fayz, patience is a virtue, dear
