Several reasons:
1. It's only been a couple days and he's waiting the traditional three days to call. Some guys do this to not seem desperate if they really are into someone. Or if they kind of like her, they might wait because calling right away for another date isn't a priority. However, if a guy is really into you, he'll call or at least text/e-mail the next day.
2. He got swamped with work/school/family emergency/random bear attack and
3. He just got the Star Wars Blu-Rays and his weekend is shot. Oh, wait, that's me.
4. He was cleaning out some old stacks of newspapers and magazines for his grandma and a stack fell on his head and now he's currently buried under copies of Life Magazine from 1966.
5. He's not into you and is blowing you off.
The only way to determine the answer? Call him. Why wait for him to call? Call, email, text, Facebook, send a carrier pigeon message, whatever, and see if he wants to go out again. If he acts weird and says he's busy for the next few weeks because he works at Starbucks and has to inventory the new Spiced Apple Mocha drink and also his aunt who he hasn't seen since he was four just died and can he call you another time, he's not into you. But you might as well find out what the deal is so you don't waste any more time obsessing over why he isn't calling you back.

Wow, wow. Wait. "Call him"? That goes against anything I've learned in "He's just not that into you" (and I take that book pretty seriously). My advice would be: don't wait for him to call, but don't call him. You'll have your answer very soon. If he doesn't call and waited for you to call, he's not worth it. It might sound old fashioned, but it's the truth.
Yeah, we're not huge fans of "He's Just Not That Into You" here. Some of the advice is good, but it's built on a lot of outdated notions and doesn't take into account women that want to take an active role in their dating life. It's all about waiting around to see if he takes action instead of actually taking action. No guy who likes a girl has ever been turned off by hearing from her. Being proactive never hurts.
I was being a little sarcastic in the beginning of what i wrote (sorry if it didn't translate). But you wrote "no guy who likes a girl has ever been turned off by hearing from her" - couldn't you say as easily that no guy who likes a girl has ever not called her after a first date?
I agree with what nikitamagael said.Ok, if the guy into u,he'll do everything he could to ask you out.Of course,it also have many reasons why he aren't get in touch with you just as CG mentioned, but come on! We all know the possibilty of some other reasons are merely existed.Never being too desperate or needy unless you ask for "suicide".
Yeah, how dare you suggest a solution like actually communicating when it's not in the book. Clearly if someone has the ability to write a book their advice must be perfect and applicable to every dating situation, after all, all men are the same and so are all women. It's like doing math, and you should sit at home and work out the correct answer according to The Book, rather than lowering yourself to, god forbid, asking the man yourself. Showing interest and taking initiative are just different words for desperation, after all.
I would say for the gal to get in touch with him once, so that she can stop thinking about him and MOVE ON, if he is not interested. When I say "move on" I don't necessarily mean move on to someone else, just move on emotionally, with school work, hobbies, etc..
