Problem with my plan! :-)

OK, so what do I do now? I said I would pick up the phone if he called at a reasonable time an allow him to explain or apologize. He called a little bit ago when I was out of my office for a meeting but did not leave a message (it was the same # on caller ID that called last night at 11:30). So now he is one of those non-message leavers too (another pet peeve of mine but not a deal breaker).
I just don't want to put all this effort into something like I did with that one phone-tag guy that looked like Tim Russert and that went no where!
Do I call back now? He probably won't call a third time. Or do I just consider myself "off the hook"? Sigh.

vex, I didn't want to jump into the fray of your last thread, but since you asked about it again:
It would have greatly annoyed me to have the phone ring that late at night, for many reasons. However, I would have chalked it up to him not knowing better and needing to be told that I don't appreciate calls after 10:00. Problem solved, end of same.
Soooo, don't you think you are making a drama of this one itsty-bitsy incident? Just call the dude and hash it all out! Or next him, whatever. Depends on whether or not you like him?

IF you think he's worth pursuing (and it sounds like you're on the fence about him), I think that I would send him an email saying something like, "sorry I missed your call, 11:30 PM is really too late for me. If you'd like to call back, tomorrow between about X and Y would work well, or during the day on Saturday."
But if you're not all that enthusiastic about him anyway, then I wouldn't.

My vote is to let him call you. If plans come up then make plans; he's a grown man and if he wants a date with you let him figure it out.
Good luck.

What Sheri said.
One email, short and sweet, and then move on. Maybe one meeting for coffee if he is properly apologetic. :)
