Who calls who first?

I am really starting to like this guy I met at uni, he called me a couple times and I called him. But I have this thing, that I don't like to call guys, cos it might make me seem desperate. So should I just wait for him to call everytime? Cos I called him the day before y'day but he didn't answer, but he did call me today except I was busy.
Also, he promised me he would txt me the other day but didn't so I'm thinking he's probably not interested! But then everyone is telling me that it seems he likes me :confused: !! I have NO idea!

Help/advice appreciated!:smile:

Yes, if:
(i) you want to come across as uninterested;
(ii) you want to come across as inconsiderate;
(iii) you want to come across as a neo-feminist bitch who makes the men do all the work;
(iv) several or all of the above.

Remember men will get bored calling if you're not reciprocating too. And he'll think he sounds desperate if he keeps calling and you don't bother.

Yeah, he'll call again I'm sure. And if not, just give him a call- unless you want it to, it won't sound desperate.

So that's who calls whom first! (Sorry, sorry, I had to please my obsessive-compulsive brain, whilst not sounding obnoxious! Though I'm sure it did. Sorry. Sorry.)

Just call him, if he you don't and then he doesn't either, you'll both end up feeling :frown:

James Bond has taught me otherwise.

As has been said above:
Why not call him now and again. If you want to keep contact it is thing both have to work at. You will not come over as desperate. It is not a bad thing to show interest in a relationship. Basically it is not any different from other relationships. You will call other friends to chat or make a date. Do exactly the same with him.

ok so I decided to call him today, but he was going home so he said he'll call me back, and he did, then he got home and said he will call me back again...and he did :biggrin: So it's a good sign for now...still not sure if he likes me though :confused:

You'll find out in good time I'm sure, but it sounds promising.

And yes, don't always leave it to the guy. Sexual equality's where the oomph is. :cool:
