Almost met someone

Earlier in the week I had posted that this guy from POF gave me his pone number. Well I didn't call him until Sat. morning. We talked about trying to meet up later in the day or evening. I told him I would call him back and let him know for sure because I wanted to make sure my DD was going with her dad. So I called him back about 2:00 and he said he was not sure that he could do anything now and was just getting out of the shower and could he call me back. Ten minutes or so after hanging up the phone I realized I had blocked my number both times I called him and he would not be able to call me so like a big boob I called him without blocking my number, let it ring once or twice and hung up just so he would have my number. You guessed it...he never called back.

So I spent last night dining with Micky D, watching "Derailed" (which was very good I might add) then went to bed with my book.

Well, he's online. Bet a million to one he doesn't message me.

This is what I just cannot wrap my brains around. (course I don't spend too much time trying) He brought up the subject of meeting not me and he was all fired up to meet me yesterday then nothing. I realize things come up that make plans change but that's all you got to say.

Men can be total galoofs imo. NOT ALL, but they definitely don't think like us women. And my first thought was a buddy called and said "hey lets go grab some beer & wings (or insert some other random saturday thing) and that's what he was about to do when you called. Did he end up msging you or getting back into contact? If it were my own situation (and perhaps its putting myself out there too much) I think I might msg him, ask how his weekend was and ask if he'd like to get together some evening during the week for a drink/dinner/coffee etc and then you'll get your answer of he'll reply and he's interested and you guys meet up or he declines and there'll be no more wondering about him having your phone number etc etc The not knowing is most frustrating I find.

He has not msg'd me and I'm going to let it go. If he's interested he can contact me by either means. He gave me his name/number, now he has mine. If you were in a bar, you would introduce yourselves by name and swapped phone numbers....it's about the same thing.

Sometimes they just make NO sense. The only thing i would find weird would be if he saw you called & hung up. How would he KNOW that was your #?


If i were you I would have let him answer & say "Im so sorry, i just realized i never left you my #" ... or e'd him with it.


Any word as of yet?

Well, he would know it was me because my name would have showed up. And no, I have not had any word from him. Do you think I need to message him?

You know, NORMALLY I would say no way, let it be - if he wants to contact you, then let HIM. But ... i just wonder if he thinks its "weird" that you called & let it ring twice & hung up.


Maybe you can e him & explain, & just say you didnt want him to think it was odd that you did that?

Well, honestly, I wouldn't call someone that wanted me to call HIM. He wanted to do something with you, he should have asked for your number. If you said no and he gave you his number that is different, but I don't think that is what happened, right? I'm not keen on men who want me to pursue.

He gave me his number this passed Tues. so if and when I felt comfortable I could call him. We were online sat. morning and I asked a good time for me to call and he said "Now, silly" So I did.

Most men aren't to keen on typing alot and I can understand that. He was wanting to take this "offline" and he gave me his number to do so. I see his status is idle I think I will msg him and explain that I called back because I had realized that he did not have my number to call me back, but I knew he was busy so I let it ring once or twice just so he would have my number TO call me back.

I agree, had the number exchange been different I'd leave things alone, but I also agree in this specific instance, the whole calling, letting it ring twice and hanging up might have been weird to him possibly. He may not had understood that to mean you were leaving your number for him. I say msg him a last time, I don't think it sends a neg "desperate" msg or anything like that. Just a simple "sorry if there was confusion, I called so you'd have my number to call back & we could make some plans to meet up. Have a great day and talk to you later!" type thing
