Ok, I met a guy online (BTW, I hate online dating) and we seem to click.

 

Without giving personal details, he IS a busy guy.

 

I like to meet ASAP in person cuz you can't say there's real chemistry till you meet in person and there are sooooo many fakes/flakes online with old or fake pics.

 

When I pushed for a meet, he gave me his tel and I gave him mine. And, while claims he's only chatting with me (I don't care if he's chatting with other chicks cuz we aren't bf/gf yet) and he called me last week, when I texted him this weekend he didn't recognize my cel.

 

He apologized and said I can call him anytime, but he hasn't arranged for a meetup. He just says we'll see eachother in the near future.

 

Sooooo, what should I do? Should I bring up meeting in person again or leave it up to him?

 

BTW, him not recognizing my cel and going out on the weekend for drinks with friends and not meeting me in person kinda is souring my interest :(

Did you leave a message for him, when you called?

 

I say, if youre really interested, you should set up a time and a place, and ask him if he wants to come. If he declines without rescheduling, tell him to call you when he isnt busy, then move on.

 

People that are busy should always try to reschedule, to show that they are interested, if they cant make it.

This is destined to be a knightmare. The guy is clearly not that into you. The fact that he isn't is what makes you more interested in him. The whole wanting someone that does not show you any interest thing which your brain lies to you and says that you like him more than you.

 

Ignore this guy and move straight onto someone else. I guarantee if you do not chase him you will never hear from him again, so what is the point knowing that you will end up getting used or hurt.

 

Look for the signs. That whole not knowing your number thing is a load of crap. Some men seriously...

NO - wait for him to contact you and ask you out. If he doesn't, you'll know he isn't interested. If you arrange to hang out with him, he may come out of boredom and then you'll feel led on. Or, he might reject you right away. Plus, all the nonsense aside, guys do not like it when you initiate like this. They don't, period end of story. Even the ones who say they do, subconsciously don't. Let him be the guy and let him ask you out.

Thanks for the replies :)

 

No, I didn't call him. I texted him and he was like 'who is this?' When I responded he was like 'he was so busy when he called me last week that he forgot to save my number in his phone'.

 

I've had that happen to me before...I'd forget to save a guy's tel in my cel...but that's usually when I have low/no interest.

 

But I'm still confused cuz he called me last week....so, how can you initiate a call someone and not save their number in your cel?

The # is in the phone. He didn't attach your name to it.

 

Anyway, you can sit around & fret & wonder . . . or you can be a modern adult & call him (don't text him). Say hi it's Gloria. Would you like to meet me for a drink on Thursday at XYZ bar, my treat?

 

You will know if he's interested or interested in jerking you around.
