I think I did something wrong

Hello Everyone! I need a little advice on something I'm not sure about. For the past week, I've been talking to a guy I met through my best friend. I'm a really shy individual but this guy seems to draw me out naturally. We've had great conversations practically everyday and I feel such a natural bond with this person. Today, was the first time we got to meet up face to face. Before doing so we exchanged pictures so he knew exactly what I looked like. Anyhow, once I got in the car with him I instantly clammed up and barely said anything. I was really nervous because I really like him and my mind kind of went blank. He barely said anything either, just turned the radio on and drove around. Needless to say, by the time he dropped me off I felt like the whole morning was a disaster. He's texted me a few times since he dropped me off but it feels different. I feel like calling him but I don't want to make a fool out of myself. I know it's only been a week and I feel really stupid for stressing about this. I just really like this guy and I've felt instantly comfortable and attracted to someone before. He has said the same thing and I'm just wondering how I should interpret his behavior today. What do you think? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I wouldn't call him. Don't ever call boys, especially when it is brand brand new. Since you guys have been texting, you can text him something like, "You should give me a call so we can chat.." .. something like that.. or a casual "We shoudl get coffee".. anything to speak to the live person or see them in person. One week of texting and things are looking shady already. have to try and salvage this by talking to a live person! Good luck! :)

You should do whatever you feel most comfortable doing. You can take halle's advice and text him with the suggestion to call you and maybe have lunch. Or you can phone him since you were once comfortable talking to him on the phone. Everyone gets nervous and sometimes a good way to break the ice is to talk about it and if he is like you this way, it might be something you two could laugh about.
