I have always heard that they should be 25-30 minutes, but I feel like most people only want to talk for about 15-20 minutes. Also no two people are the same so does a longer call always mean it was better?
I want to hear your thoughts on this because I might just have a boring personality.

i'd say 15 min is the bare minimum unless they have some emergency they have to hop off for. good ones are likely 25-30+ and being able to talk this long usually means they like you or are willing to refer. Maybe get a friend to critique your calls because if every call is 15-20 you're probably getting forgotten by most ppl
I usually keep them on for as long as possible. Will also fire them a text later that night if I’m a little tipsy asking them plans for the weekend and such.
