He asked for my number...how long before he calls?!

[LittleMissAaargh]

Are there rules about this sort of thing?

Met nice bloke on Saturday night(friend of a friend). He asked for my number (we had a little kiss too!).

If he doesn't phone, should I phone him? He seemed shy. I have his number as I didn't know mine so put his into my phone then phoned him iykwim...

I'm a single mum, not really knowing the rules any more - are there rules? Three day rule???

You could text him - 'Hi, how are you?' or something.

Three day rule is a load of bollocks.

Just text him and without going all "i had a really really really nice time the other night" just ask him out for a drink.

"Hello x, do you fancy a drink next friday say 8pm at bar xyz"

As a meerkat would say. Simples. See what he says. If he says no then move on if yes then rock on.

Stop with the rules and the game playing.

If you like him and want to see him again, text him.

You don't call him, and if he hasn't called you by Thursday, say no to anything he suggests over the weekend.

Ok, thanks...general feeling is that I should text him. Now I'm nervous!!! Fear of rejection. Mind you, that might be why he hasn't contacted me yet!

Personally, I'd wait a few more days tbh.
Although I don't really like to play games and everything, but I'd hate someone to think I didn't have anything else to think about.
I like people to think I'm nice and busy, so I think that if I hadn't heard anything by thursday, then I might be tempted to text and ask him out next weekend

Oooh - now Colditz is making me stop and think!

I wouldn't make the first move either. 'If he hasn't phone by Wednesday then he isn't going to' Remember this from Blind Date years ago and it was so true.

Hope he does ring you. If he does at a later then be cool and casual about it and don't jump at his suggestions.

He just called! Date tomorrow night!!!

I need more patience obviously!

Oh that's good, and much better he made the call. As old fashioned as it sounds they do prefer to do the chasing and IME if you have to chase them they are not worth catching.

good, and good that it's a Monday night call as this shows he is keen whilst able to rein in any stalkerish impulses. he also wanted to make sure you were free by phoning you before anyone else did.

It's a good thing!

Thanks for all your help with my (non) problem!

Now...what to wear?!

xx

jeans nice top
btw echoing what colditz said here and as a fellow LP i know that child care is an issue, but please don't make yourself so readily available,there's no way that i would ever accept a last min date
