Question - (4 September 2008) 8 Answers - (Newest, 5 September 2008)
A female Venezuela age 51-59, *helljade41 writes:

Ok, now what happens when the case is this: I had a terrible fall out with my boyfriend and I went out to think things over and in fact I was thinking I should leave him, because he did something I felt was really wrong.Our relationship was not going well for sometime now, but this had triggered off what I call the final ending. I then ended up in a nice place where I met a nice man, he just sat down and we started talking, we talked for about 3 hours, and when he asked me about my relationship status I told him what had happened and he told me that he thought what my boyfriend had done was selfish of him and that I shouldn't call him back. Then we went on talking for a while. The evening went really smooth and I felt we were both oddly attracted to each other, I say oddly because I wasn't in any mood to feel any kind of attraction for no one, since the argument with my boyfriend had me feeling real bad. This new man was very attentive,thoughtful, caring, sweet and open. And there was also a physical attraction as well, that had me wondering what was going on all the time. At the end of our evening he handed me his phone number. After I realized I hadn't given him mine I scribbled it on paper and gave him my number also. After 2 days had passed and he hadn't called, I was wondering if he didn't wanted to call cause he didn't know if I was still into my relationship, and as he was the first to give me his number I decided to call him up. He answered and he sounded thrilled to hear from me.During the conversation I told him I had called it quits with my boyfriend, he said: well yes, that is sad but it's better for you, just go ahead with life! After some minutes of more chatting he told me he was running late for work (which I know it's true as he has to be at his job at a certain time and it was late by then)and told me he would call me back (didn't say when, though) Well, the case is that 5 days have passed and he hasn't called. I learned that I have a phone line problem at my home phone because many people have called and they say that they hear no tone. But I also gave him my cel phone, so I am here trying to understand what could be going on?? Am I overanalyzing this? Are 5 days too long? I just wish I could understand what could be going on in his mind. I don't know what to do. I am not calling him again, but I wonder if he lost my number or what, so I am thinking I could possibly drop by (in two more days) the place where we met (he works there) just to take a bite and see what happens when he sees me. I guess that by his reaction I could easily get the signals, but I don't want him to think that I am stalking him or something of the sort. What do you think? Can you give me some advice please, my head is spinning with doubts and uncertainty..

Thanks!! :)

Blue_Angel0316 agony aunt Sometimes guys are just that way. One might have changed their mind or perhaps they realized that they needed you to be completely free before persuing any type of relationship.

In instances when a person gives you their phone number it may be in a gesture of kindness. This doesn't always mean they expect a serious relationship to develope. On the other hand they might be looking for something serious but can't get involved with someone who isn't quiet free.

If you moved to quickly in calling the guy this may have pushed him back a bit. If he is the type to want to make the first move you could have lost his interest by seeming to needy or easy. Again you could just be rushing yourself into something new before you are ready. Take your time and remember their are more fish in the sea! You could have one already taking the bait yet isn't quiet ready to be hauled into the boat.

Focus on you...and have a bit of fun being single and mingle! God will open another door if this one has been closed. If not, you will soon find out if you just lean back, be patient and be yourself.

Shelljade41 agony auntThe thing is if he just didn't like me, he could have just said: well it was nice meeting you, and then just get up and go!! but he was the one who got up and came back to the table with his phone number in a card!!! I just DON'T GET IT!!??

Blue_Angel0316 agony auntSometimes people get so caught up in their own lives they don't place significance on someone they only met once. If he seemed interested it could be he really was or perhaps he was just trying to be nice.

The odd attraction you spoke about said that you aren't really quiet ready for another relationship yet. Give it time. Don't use excuses about the phone line. He gave you his number and you called. Most guys like to be the one to intiate the moves. My advice is to let him call you.

You will be stronger if you get over your last relationship before you start another. It is possible to take the problems into the next one. Not sure what the cause of the breakup was but perhaps you told him too much. At any rate he has to decide that he liked you enough to make contact. It is possible that he could have lost the number. So many things are possible.

If you frequent places you know he goes (don't stalk) then chances are you will be running into him again. I wouldn't advise going to his place of business too quickly as that might be way too ovbious. If and when you do decide to go, don't go alone. Take friends and pretend not to notice him. Make sure you take friends that won't give you away.

By letting him take the necessary steps to call, or come over to you if you are in the same place let's him take the lead. If he doesn't, perhaps he is shy, but whatever you do let him come to you!

Best wishes and God bless you. Seek His Wisdon and you will be fine.

Shelljade41 agony auntThanks a lot for your sound advice Blue Angel!! Well, I know it was kind of overwhelming for us to meet just like that, and yes, it's true that I am still working through what happened with my ex-boyfriend, even though we were "together" for only next to 4 months, and we only saw each other on saturdays..well,that was one of the reasons for our breakup. I didn't let out too much to the new guy, I think; he asked me about my relationship status and I just told him but without getting into much detail.

I will surely take your advice. I prefer not to go there just yet, as you say, I think you're right and it feels better if I just wait out some more. If by next week he doesn't appear then I can decide if I will go there, where he works (it's where I met him, and I don't usually go out that much, so it´s really the only place where I could find him)and the again,go with someone else and pretend I am not looking for him.

THANKS!!! :)

sappygirl agony auntmove on with your life and don't think about him.

You have to read the book "He's not into you"

Don't take it personally. Guys will give out there numbers to anyone, if he really really like you he would call within 3 days. He's giving you hints, so you should read it. Don't waste another thought on him. take care
