Thank you.
I don't know why he didn't call you. There are any number of possible reasons. Maybe he lost your number. Maybe he was just being nice when he asked for it. Maybe he met the love of his life the next day. Maybe he got hit by a bullet train. Who knows?
Should you ask him out? That depends. If you really felt like you had a connection with this guy and want to pursue it, sure, give him a ringy-ding. Just know that the most likely explanation for him not calling is that he's simply not interested in you. If you're feeling bold and willing to risk rejection, go for it. I don't think it's wasting your time, even if he says no thanks--which is what my gut thinks will happen. I could be wrong, though. You won't know until you try.
Thanks for the question.
"Maybe he got hit by a bullet train." ---> As brutal as this may sound, sometimes we'd like to think that this is what happened to make it easier for us to deal with things. Made me laugh so hard. ;)
“If you're feeling bold and willing to risk rejection, go for it.” (Why is it women handle this a little better than men?)
you mean the rejection from asking someone out? because we are control freaks. we would rather just know and deal with it and move on to the next thing or one on our to do list because we dont have time to dick around. at least thats why i dont have a problem asking guys out, my mentality is, even if he says no, now at least i know.
There are countless reasons, many of the innocuous, as to possibly why he hasn't called. Ask him out -- ONCE -- in a low key way, and see if he's actually interested. If he doesn't respond well when you call, or doesn't have a legit reason for never calling, don't pursue him.
Hey you can't win em all. Let it go - If he wanted to contact you he would have found a way. Whats for you won't go past you ;)
If you really like him, ask him out. It's better than wondering.
(I have done this twice in my life and each time there was a good reason why he did not call - be prepared. Both cases we went out, have a great first date and then he tells me that "he is still seeing his girlfriend with the agreement they can date other people". Which means to me he is taken and just wants to be able to say he went out with other girls before he marries his gf - he was right, a good reason not to call me.)
wow, seriously? I'm glad he told you!
Both times the guys were in love with the only girls they had ever dated... I took it as a compliment they asked for my number but they were taken.
And yeah - they were good guys...
