Hi! I'm new to this online stuff and have been emailing with a very nice person for about a month now. I decided to give him my phone number and though we continue to email, he hasn't called. I would really like to talk to him and if anything would love to be this persons friend since we have alot in common. Any thoughts on how I should handle this? Thanks Toni
Welcome to the forums, Toni. I think you are doing the right thing now by posting. I hope you stick around for a while. It can get addicting, lol. Get a whole bunch of friends. One might let you down and one might go to sleep while you are still up.
When you gave him your phone number did you give him a time to call?
Usually when a woman gives me a phone number I'll call here within minutes of receiving it. We are usually talking via emails (almost using them like IMing) just before the phone call anyway.
The only thing I would suggest is to ask him to call the next time you are emailing with him, or however you talk with him online.
Patience is a virtue.. possess it if you can, seldom in woman and never in man.
That being said, if he hasn't called - give it time. Time will sort out everything, one way or the other. If he didn't ask for your number, he may be a bit bashful just the same. Asking for his number is a bit forward, but may work just the same if he really is bashful. Go with what -you- feel is right, it's your friendship/relationship and no one else really gets a vote in it.
Thanks SKippy me too. It would just be nice to have someone to do things with. That can be taken different ways couldn't it...but you know what I mean.
