Call him back or not??

I was going to post this as anon because people on here know me (and the guy I'm talking about) but decided against it because anon is used waay to much, but please don't make this personal anyone.

There was a guy I had a thing with, not really a major thing, not for him anyway but I got kinda into him and I wanted it to be more than it was. We ended things badly, as he got with a new girl, way back in February, and since then I have basically struggled between shutting him out of my life entirely and clinging to any chance to talk to him/see him even though it made me sad. I really had strong feelings for him, and, honestly, he really was a bit of a ***** to me about it. After a couple of months, and failed attempts to be friends (he made it weird) I finally sorted myself out and deleted his number, defriended him from facebook, blocked him on msn etc. Through this I moved on, and by the end of this term could easily see him, even say hi like normal people without stressing or it being awkward. We're not exactly friends, but we aren't enemies any longer. Anyway couple of weeks ago he called me out of the blue, didn't have much to say, and it was quite odd. But it made me smile - seemed like things were just normal, though why he'd called escaped me. I was quite rude on the phone, and didnt have a lot to say, so i text a couple of days after apologising for not reciprocating his questions, ie how are you etc. Next day he phoned me a couple of times but I missed his calls. I text saying i was busy but I'd call back if it was important. I haven't heard from him since, and this was a week ago. Thing is I'm worrying about it now - dont know if i should call back or not; if it was anyone else obviously id return their call, it is rude not to, but i am very wary of contacting him because of how things were. Sorry this is long, I just want to know if people think I should call him back and just be normal, or if i should leave it?

Call him back. Say you didnt have any dredit or something but it cant be that bad. Ask him what he wanted. its over the phone and if he wanted to say something hurtful (which im sure he didnt) it would probably be easier to hear over the phone. HE might have just wanted a chat like old times. I would call him anyway. And if it goes well ask to met up or sumfing. cant hurt.

okay :confused:

So your not enemies, your on neutral terms. He calls you and talks 'normally' to you, he has something to tell you. You dont want to call him back to get back at him (or pride or whatever) and therefore your going to miss out on what he wants to tell you - be it bad or good (which might change your views on him for better or worse lol)



So you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Boy, if this were a game of poker, you would be a fool not to have all your chips in at this point lool.

I would call him, clearly you're on his mind for some reason, only one way to find a reason easily, ask
