Well once again I'm in a situation where I don't know what to do. When you don't know someone well, it is hard to just be completely blunt and forward with them about their intentions but here is the scenario.
Met a girl at a party. 2 years older than me. We talked for a while and from what I gathered, she enjoyed it and was at least slightly interested at the time. Eventually I asked if we could hang out, and for her phone number. She gave it to me and I tried calling the next day. No answer, no voicemail message or anything. Sent her a msg on facebook asking if I had the right number. She said yeah I was just super busy, I hope you're having a good sunday. My assumption is that (I have no idea why already) she is not into me at all. Should I reply to this message or just give up and stop talking to her. I don't want to look desperate but I want to make sure this is not a missed opportunity too. What, if I should reply, should I say to make myself look not desperate or attractive (If and a huge IF that's even possible at this point)? HELP!

she sounds like shes trying to be nice and not wanting to hurt you.. However she could really be super busy..

So wait a little while send a message to her and let her call you when she has time.. you'd like to her from her

If she initiates the call then shes interested in you.. If she doesn't then she not.. bouquet

Does that help..

What have you got to lose by giving her another call ... if she is attractive she may well have a busy social life .. so give it another go.

I asked a very similar question on here not that long ago, and the advice was to reply to it.

I believe the reasons were... she could be shy... doesn't like computers much... etc etc etc

I did, and we did end up meeting


So *reply* thumbs up yay handshake

I think since she gave him her number her old boyfriend came back and now she's got the OP on her hands.

If he calls her he should be prepared for rejection.

If she really wanted to talk to him, she would call him.

I'm such a romantic...grin

I'm inclined to think that too, communication is a two way street, and if it's not reciprocal, it's likely due to a lack of serious interest.

Say this....I really enjoyed talking with you the other night and I wondered if you would like to get together this weekend, say Saturday night, for drinks, dinner, or both?....Don't ask her anything about not calling you or not answering when you called her, just ask her if she would like to get together....If she says yes, your off and running...If she says no, but does not explain or ask for an alternate day, you pretty much got your answer....Good luck....

Give her your number and let her know if she ever feels like hanging out, she can give you a call.

Just my opinion, but I think that will make him look desperate.

Both of them are on Facebook. She knows where to find him if she wants to..
