Lonely guy dilemma .. should I call ?

hi everyone,

Would love a female's point of view on a matter I'm experiencing. I met a really cute girl at an airport 2 weeks ago. I sat down next to her in the lobby and fortunately our flight was delayed, and later canceled. We spent around 3-4 hours together, had great conversation and laughed pretty much the whole time. I asked for her number, she agreed to give it to me. Instead of calling (due my nerves getting the best of me) I decided to text her a week and a half after our initial meeting at the airport. Her response was pretty much vague which led me to believe she wasn't interested. My question is, did I wait too long? Do I still have a shot? Now I should mention, I do have a low self esteem problem (probably from people calling me ugly throughout the years).

Do I take the vague, uninterested text responses from her to mean she's just not interested.. or should I bite the bullet and give her a call? I know I'm a really great guy who has a lot to offer a girl, but it's just not easy finding the right one.

Regards,
VeggieV

Give her a call. You didn't come across as super interested so she may have responded in kind

OT, have you ever thought that men come to this board in order to meet women?

hii everyone, ok, so 3 weeks ago I started this thread.. well today, the girl I wrote about actually text'd me. Her text was to say 'hey, happy new year, i'm at the airport where we first met, on my way to argentina'.
Could it be this is her way of starting something up? It's been 3 weeks, she completely shocked me by the text.

Yes, she is trying to start something up. I would never just randomly text a guy I didn't hear from in three weeks unless I liked him.

I recommend you CALL her within the next day or two (if you haven't already) and leave a voicemail telling her it was good to hear from her, to have a great trip and to let you know when she returns (I only say voicemail b/c I assume she won't answer her phone while she's in Argentina). DON'T send her another text instead of an actual call... especially since she's leaving the country--text messages might be lost/not delivered depending on what kind of phone she has and her service while she's out of the country.

And, FYI, I really think she must like you from reading about all your interactions...

hi little bubba :)
thanks so much for your post, it makes sense. But, I am having a hard time believing she does like me.. I think she may have just been bored, and waiting for her flight to depart at the same place where we met prompted her to give me a call.

It's all just a bit shocking to me. Why must there always be some sort of game involved.. I will leave a message tomorrow but based on her lack of a response 3 weeks ago I doubt she'll even respond. No big deal on my end though..

There's nothing to lose by calling so go to it.
