Oh my goodness... the other night when I was out I talked him very briefly and asked him if would be ok for me to call him and ask him out for coffee some time and he said yes. I left it a few days and called today - but he said it wasn't possible in the next few days due to transport problems, so I said I'd call back on Wednesday. Things were looking pretty bleak - I guess this doesn't mean they're not, but surely this has to be something at least.

Hope so.

Cant get much details from your post but you have made a move.... why not let him make the next. At least you wont feel so awkward.

Or calling him to ask how his transportation problem is coming along could be an opprtunity for some chatting time on the phone.

Actually - I will call back on Wed' - or maybe the weekend... I don't like calling too much, but I figure since I said I would - and he said it's ok?. I know his transport problems were a genuine hassle, he's between cars and says he is taking care of it this week (he was without one while we were together). Apart from that, I've moved recently and he hasn't my home number. If on a second time of calling he still can't make it, I'm going to give him my number and let him know that he can call when he's more mobile and would like to catch up.
There's probably more details in my last post - still not much, I guess I'm trying not to dwell on it all (but not succeeding too well).
Regarding all the problems I had before that pushed us apart in the first place - things are getting better all the time. So maybe a little more time before we catch up is a good thing.

I don't know about this now... I sent an email today saying that I'd still like to catch up - but I'll call on the weekend instead of today as I have a bit of a full week etc... and therefore intend to call on the weekend... but someting rather strange keeps happening and I'm thinking that maybe I shouldn't. He and I are still on each other's messenger, and we both need to use our computers frequently and have it on in the background. We really aren't talking to each other much on there at all - but since I asked him about the coffee thing... nothing makes him sign out faster than me being online. I come on and he goes, it takes him about 30 seconds. I blocked him for a bit because of this so I wouldn't have to think about it and found that he'll stay on for ages, but when I unblock him he goes again.

I was actually looking forward to a cup of coffee with someone - and to clear things up (I know he's been subjected to a lot of mindless gossip about me - some very harsh actually), but this is starting to make me feel stupid for asking him. And now of course I've said I'll call - I'll actually feel stupid if I do and stupid if I don't.

Don't really know what to do now.
