I would try & judge the situation! - Sometimes the guy might love that you make the first move - alternatively he could be quite a private person & get annoyed! - You need to see what he is thinking!

As for men calling - I tend to get low when I'm waiting ages for a guy that I really like to ring me! - Sometimes they don't call as much as we think they should - but it doesn't always mean they're not interested - just that they are otherwise engaged!

Boy or girl I think it's a little bit intrusive to call someone who hasn't personally given you their number (unless it's a professional situation, or the person gave permission for someone else to give their number to you).

If you do want to speak to him on the phone, it's best to take the plunge and give him your number (or if you must, as for his).

Despite what the relationship self-help books say, I don't think there are any hard and fast rules about how often you should call someone, some guys love chatting on the phone regularly, others hate it (I've had guys who've bugged ME with too many phone calls in the past!) - so you may have to play it by ear.

I find it's generally safest to bear the following in mind when calling anyone (I would include friends in this, as well as romantic interests):

- Only call if you actually have something to say, don't just phone for the sake of it because you're bored or lonely (go rent a film instead!). Once you've said everything, finish the call. Most people prefer meeting in person to chatting on the phone, so if you want a long talk, arrange to meet for coffee instead.

- Don't bug them. If you're worried you're phoning too much then you probably are! If someone says they're busy, or late for something, or need to go - let them go!

- Unless it's a genuine emergency (unlikely in your situation!) or they've asked you to call, don't phone anyone at work, when they're out with friends, when they're on holiday or after 10pm at night.

Teacake agony auntGirls make the mistake of calling boys TOO MUCH! Some people might not like it if you call, so you are right to question if its okay or not. It really depends on the boy. But, I wouldn't call just to play it safe. Let him ask you for your phone number and try not to call a boy more than he calls you! That can be a turn off to a boy. Girls like to be on the phone more than boys do, usually.
