ohbutterflies Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 back story: one of my really good friends (i am like his little sister) from school (who graduated two years ago) has really good friends from where he originally lived who are in a band. we've seen them together a bunch of times, but i've been kind of quiet when we have all hung out simply because i didn't want to be too much of an intrusion. on saturday, i was home and saw the band on my own. the crowd was really small and the band decided to play "get to know the crowd," calling first on a group of young girls to say their names before the set began. two songs in, this singer pointed right at me and says, "you, i want to get to know you," asks my name and then i point out that he's met me before and essentially make him look like a big doof in front of everyone there. the rest of the band remembers me, especially after i mention our mutual friend. it became a silly joke and then this singer and i make some eye contact for the rest of the show. after the set, we begin talking (he approached me) and it's slightly flirty in that he invites me out to talk to him while he has a cigarette and we discuss sports, other acts that played, and some recent happenings with our friend, who just got married. we laugh alot together and he also managed to sneak in asking if i brought a date to the wedding (he couldn't attend it because of tour), to which i said no. when he had to leave with the rest of the band, he told me to take his number, to which i joked i would never call him because i am too shy to call. he then said he'd get in touch with our friend about me then and smiled. i get home to an im from my friend asking if i had been talking to said singer, and i explained that i saw the band that night. he then told me that he had gotten a random text message saying "hook me up with eliza she's awesome" promising, right? well, there is the potential he may have been a little drunk, although he did not seem it when i was talking to him. i got his number from my friend and my friend gave my info to this singer. we exchanged text messages (i said that i was given the number by our friend and he said "i was hoping he would") that night. i sent him one yesterday telling him that i was heading back home again (because i had to go back to school and then back home...confusing, sorry!) and that "perhaps i'll talk to you later"... i haven't heard from him, but did i imply that i would call? i am petrified of calling and really just want to be sure that he is interested. i was hoping that maybe he'd call or text back, but he hasn't and he hasn't been online. since he made the effort to so quickly indicate interest to our friend, i am hoping there's something. any advice? should i call? if so, when? and if ages matter, i'm 21, he's 26, and our friend is 24. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
