Have you ever met a stranger and he asked for your number, but he never texts or calls you? What I mean here is, you are a girl so you won't want seem clingy or needy. So naturally you will not text or call the guy until he tries to get in touch with you first. What I want to know is if that is a normal behavior. Has anyone else experienced this before? Like, he appeared to need your number by all means during the first encounter. So if you ever find yourself in such situation, how long can you wait to hear from him before you decide t make a move in case he has forgotten you?

Forgive me because I'm quite new to the dating lifestyle and applicable rules.

Thanks;)

It is not easy to point out the main reason because different guys have different reasons for doing what they do, but below are some possible reasons:

  1. He forgot all about you and your number. This may seem unbelievable to most women though, but is often true. Most guys-or at least some guys-can go out with you last night and forget to call you back after that event. This is most applicable to the kind of guy that is often absent-minded who either has a very messy diary or does not have at all and the type of guy one who has turned up at work with mismatched socks more than once.
  2. He wants to know how you will react. Forgetting about you is not the only thing your date's silence can indicate-he could be thinking about you all the while. He might do this to see how well you can handle a stressful situation and to know how eager you are to take the relationship to another level.
  3. His friends have been giving him some negative advice. There are men who believe it is wrong to call a woman until 3 days have passed after their first date. Some believe they shouldn't call at all and expect the girl to do so.
  4. He is probably nervous. If he is the shy type, he may probably be avoiding a phone interaction with you. This is simply because he doesn't want to speak due to his extreme nervousness.
  5. He doesn't love you that much. Hard as this may seem, his silence may be an indication of his reluctance to see you again. Men hate talking about how they feel, especially when they feel they are letting a woman down. So he may just think it is better to avoid calling you at all than calling and telling you he doesn't want to take the relationship further. Unfortunately, this often results in frustration and confusion on the part of the girl involved.

In the actual sense, the reason isn't all that important. Your first concern should be what you do. Try to gather more tips on this.

Why he doesn't call? Reasons are simple:

  1. Maybe he doesn't care about you at all.
  2. You were just another piece of to-do on his list.

Don't worry your pretty head about losers like him and only lose yourself to more deserving guys who cherish you and know your worth.

Guys love being needed instead of appearing needy in a relationship. He may call or text you after some days apologizing for his inability to get in touch earlier blaming school or work for it. I have been talking to a certain girl recently and I just got her to start talking to me more. At first she didn't reply my text. After some days I sent her an innocent text asking if she was on her way to church. The next day she replied and apologized for the long silence, according to her, she had been camping. I did not ignore her; neither did I come across as needy. If you are very concerned as a girl, you can send an innocent text claiming you had to text to find out who owns the number. Best of luck!
