I was the one who first send a short "ice breaker" message to him and he responded very positively. We have since been emailing very long emails (from both sides) and we are really hitting it off. It has been just over a week now. He said to me, that we "should speak sometime" and I responded by saying it would be very nice to speak and emailed him my phone number. Instead of calling me, he sent me another long email without mentioning "speaking" again and included his phone number in the email. I am now not so sure what to do, because I would have liked it if he would chase after me a bit and do not want him to lose interest in me. Why did he email me his number - does he want me to call him first or am I reading that the wrong way? I don't want to mess things up, because I am really enjoying our chats. Please give me some advice on how to move forward? Reply to this Question

I think you are reading it the wrong way,he could very well be uncomfortable calling you first.But it does not mean he is not interested,or else he would not have given you his phone number or even continued e-mailing you.So make the first move and call him.See what happens between the two of you.

He might be very shy. So try calling him and see what happens.

Just ring him to get the ball rolling. He probably doesn't want to come on too strong.
