Him just being polite?

Hi everyone,
Here goes...
A few years ago I used to hang around with this lad, just friends really and thats it, i did like him but never did anything ( I Was about 13/14 lol) but a few times lately ive just been casually bumping into him and last time i saw him he asked for my number and said he would like to take me out for drinks, would i like that etc. I said yeh sounds good etc text me sometime.
He still hasnt got in touch, but i was on one of my old sim cards the other day and i realised ive got his house number, so i thought what have i got to loose if i ring him on this and just say do you want to go out then etc ( OBV explain that i had his house no from ages ago before he thinks im some physco stalker!)
The question is do I wait and see if he phones me and leave it if he doesnt or do i phone him or was it him just being nice asking to go for a drink etc? What do i say to him etc etc.
Help please i know its a v silly and immature question but these things have to be asked! lol

I'm male and you should definitely phone him yourself as he made the first move. He must like you to have plucked up the courage to ask for your number. He possibly feels that you don't like him rather than vice versa so don't worry and phone him yourself.

Hmmm difficult. Would you like it if someone called your home number even though you hadn't given them your number? If he had the guts to get your number, realistically he should have the guts to text you. How long are we talking about here by the way?

I'd make my day if I was in his position, liked you - and you rang me! Go for it. :wink:

Personally, I wouldn't...
Mainly because he said he'd text you to arrange something so the ball is in his court really. He obviously has your number and has decided not to text it so I guessyou can infer that he's not all THAT interested. :frown:

On the other hand, you only live once and what's the worst thing that can happen :confused: I guess it all comes down to how confident you are about whether he actually likes you or not :smile:

Not suggesting stalking, honest
But I reckon 'casually bumping into him' would be better.
Then you can see if it seems he likes you or not.

If you know where he's likely to be at any time, happen to be there, but not obviously for him. and maybe with friends.

Calling his house could scare him.

:yy: Thats what I would do. If you just bump into him properly once and he only sees you then, he will not suspect it is anything but coincidence. And I have lost girls emails/numbers before and been embariced about it, it could be that I spoze.

if you could explain in a non-stalker way how you have his number, go for it.

Personally, if a girl i even half liked, gave me a call, i wouldn't think 'stalker'. I know it's hard to think straight in this situation but imagine it the other way around. If he had phoned you up and said some excuse for getting your number because he just wondered if you were interested, but if not nevermind etc, would you think stalker? If so, don't do it. If not, what have you got to lose?
