He's not going to call...

I wrote an entry a few days ago about how I was interested in a guy I kept seeing at the bowling alley on Sundays, and that my sister and her mother-in-law gave him the phone number I had written down and was debating on giving to him myself. It's been a few days, and I don't think he's going to call... I'm kinda upset because I guess I got my hopes up and... figured that if he was interested, he'd have called by now. I'm probably getting upset over nothing, since I've never really spoken to him before, just, caught glances at him and made eye contact... I know I shouldn't really bother with it, if he doesn't call then whatever, but I really hoped he would. I've got thursday - saturday to be waiting for a call... I'm no longer nervous, just... anxious and wondering what's keeping him. I'm not sure he was even interested. What would you say if he kept looking at you, smiling at you, waved a few times and stuff? I mean, you'd get the impression they were interested wouldn't you? Could I have just been mistaking that for something else? Perhaps there was someone behind me every week??? I'm not really sure. But I've not had a feeling like this for anyone in such a long time, and I guess maybe I'm taking it too far just because of a few short glances.

Maybe he'll talk to you at the bowling alley. It could be that he'd rather have a conversation in person and get to know you as a friend first. Phone calls to someone you don't really know can be awkward.

Yeah, that's possible. I mean, I know that phone conversations could be rather awkward and all, but I mean... I really wish that I'd hear SOMETHING from him... I'm not sure how well I'll be able to talk by sunday though. I heard that due to swelling after getting a lip ring, you can't really talk the same :s

That's a good point, my boyfriend really doesn't like talking on the phone and I've been with him over 6 years now!

I hate talking on the phone, but If It's the only way I'm gonna be able to communicate to most the people i know or to hear from anyone... I'll do it.

Maybe he just forgot about it? I don't know, I'd say if you see him again on Sunday, smile and don't make yourself too eager, but let him know you're there. If he wants to come and say hi, he will, if he doesn't then for God's sakes don't make yourself seem desperate. You sound like me when I was a teenager (I'm only 24 now so it hasn't been that long) I got all upset over whether this guy would call me or not and I'd end up calling them and then you look easy. Just relax, if he likes you, he'll eventually get the balls to tell you and if he either 1) doesn't have balls or 2) doesn't feel the same way, then he's not worth it anyway. Good luck!

I wouldn't worry about it, it's just going to make things akward and you're opening up yourself for heartache. You're kind of friends, right? You see each other, do you say hi or wave to each other? Start out as friends, and that's the best way to do it anyway, you don't want to seem too eager or anxious or rush into anything. Get to know him, let him get to know you, and you'll find out if you like each other or not. Trust me on this one I've been with my b/f for 6 years and yes I *LOVE* him but sometimes I don't like him very much, we completely rushed into it, moved in together, etc., and I think if we'd gone slower we would have a better relationship. Now we fight like cats and dogs and while we both love each other that true "in love" romance has faded. :( Just relax and let him make the first moves! Like my mom says, "it's going to be what it's going to be, so don't waste time worrying". Good luck!

:s I'm not sure how to let him know I'm there... I mean we usually find each other during bowling, pretty fast and easy since he's usually there when I walk in. I hope he likes me... lol... I feel so pathetic worrying about it, but I cant help it.

Maybe he just feels its kinda awkward? Seeing how he doesent know you. But never loose hope, he might call you one night and you two might fall in love. Your freind, M0thakap0p

Fall in love after one phone call? I don't think so. But we have started text messaging each other, and we both want each other to call... but I'm still kinda nervous, though I think sometime I should suck it up and call anyway. lol.

It does seem like he was interested. Don't lose all hope just yet, he may be busy or he may be nervous. Good luck, hope everything works out for you.
