MissJoness Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I got a guy's phone number 8 months ago, and I never called him. I have a fear of dating. Now, I wanna see what he's up to. Do you think I should give him a call??

Do you think I should give him a call?? me myself, I would brush you off or just ignore you. Ive never been single for long though. if he remembers and he liked you then he might take interest. you have fear of dating and YOU got a guys number? seems fishy...
ThaWholigan Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 It's a little bit late, he might have forgotten you. If I were a guy and I gave a girl my phone number and never got a call from her till 8 months later, I'd have had trouble remembering and I've got a good memory when it comes to things like that. Also his situation may have changed i.e. GF. Why do you have a fear of dating? Out of curiosity......is it because of your age? Because if so, you are still incredibly young, you are only a few years older than me (I'm 24).

Well, he spotted me packing groceries in my car & asked me for my number, and I told him to give me HIS. The last time I gave a guy my number, he literally called my cell phone NON STOP for months. He was a complete nut.

River Rain Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 He probably won't remember you, but if you feel it's worth a shot, just do it. Worst case, he probably won't answer or call you back. At least you'll know.
Author MissJoness Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 I'd like to ask the men...would you give a girl a shot if she called you 8 months later??
ThaWholigan Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 In order to jog your memory would you go out with her?? Probably. As I said, I would probably remember eventually - I have a good memory. You don't really have a lot to lose by calling him, but I wouldn't place any expectations on doing so.

Author MissJoness Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 I think common logic would dictate that if he approached you out of the blue in a supermarket parking lot while you were putting your groceries in your car, he probably hands his number out quite a bit. Unfortunately, he probably won't be able to differentiate you from the 205 other strange women he's randomly handed his number out to over the last 8 months. I don't think it would be a problem at all to call. I met my ex boyfriend in a similar manner. We dated for 3 years. So this isn't something unusual to me. Actually, this is how I meet most of my dates. A guy will spot me shopping or running errands and ask me for my number, and then we get to know each other
Author MissJoness Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Certainly, but only in order to dump a load in her once and then forget about her.You sound very bitter
Author MissJoness Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 You sound like you made this topic solely to get positive reinforcement. You are sounding very jealous
Author MissJoness Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Of what? Someone deciding to call me the better part of a year after getting my number? Quite. You sound bitter and single to me
ThaWholigan Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 You sound bitter and single to me Ignore that poster.
olivec Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I'd like to ask the men...would you give a girl a shot if she called you 8 months later?? it would depend on how cute the girl was. however some guys might be like screw that. i asked a girl out a month ago then she said yes lets meet this place like no time had elapsed. i might have considered it if she said "hey sorry for taking so long getting back to you". so yes refresh his memory and maybe give a light hearted apology. But like i said if the guys thinks your hot hell probably say yes. good luck
rocketman122 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I realize after reading Greznogs posts that he has hate issues with woman (like many men here) and I dont blame him one bit. I was talking with my GF about this and we both agree woman are making things worse. theyre too way picky, too demanding/expect too much and they think too highly of themselves. and for no reason. a lot have nothing to offer. there will be more and more single people and less who will marry. dating is going the wrong way. Like I said before, I would not give you the time of day. probably because I would be offended. but more so because I have a ton of options if I would not be dating. it wouldnt matter one bit that you have a fear of dating.
ScreamingTrees Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Unless she was a 15/10, I wouldn't bother. Why would you call me nearly a year later? Did you get dumped by all of the other better choices who ultimately didn't want you? No thanks, I'm not going to be that sucker. Of course, you could be the sweetest girl in the world and not be like that, but unless a guy is totally naive and looking to be used and abused, I'd say that's the impression your average joe would probably be getting, that he's some pathetic afterthought back-up plan, and all else has failed and so she calls.. If the guy remembers you and is confused/wary about your intentions, you should be honest about why you sort of brushed off his advances? If you really do have a fear of dating/intimacy/whatever, it's possible that he could naturally pick up on that anyway, so maybe if you explain yourself, he'll understand and be convinced when you spend time together. If I did that, I wouldn't ask every girl I see for her number or give them mine, but that's just me, I guess.
LexiB Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 This is one of the only instances where I say text. I agree. That way, you can provide a little background info about yourself to jog his memory - and give him time to process it - without it being awkward.
SmileFace Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I agree. That way, you can provide a little background info about yourself to jog his memory - and give him time to process it - without it being awkward. Exactly, I think it will be too forward to call - since you know nothing about him or his status as of right now. A text he could either ignore or respond nicely.
