I always screen my calls. Not that I never answer my phone, but I always check. Occasionally I decide not to answer even if it's a close friend. I may even sort of want to talk to them. Just not at that particular moment. They are under no obligation to pick up when I call back. I also am not offended when they don't pick up, or even if they do accidentally pick up and then tell me they'd rather not talk right then. Eventually, we'll get each other on the phone. Really, it's so much more efficient than the old school technique of having someone else answer the phone and ask who's calling so you could thumbs up or down.
/Incidentally, I've been playing phone tag with a friend of mine for three months. She lives 5 minutes from my house.
