"feel free to give me a call"

[tracy1122]

i actually left him a brief email telling him i had a great time and that i would love to do it again! this was like 4 days ago! I take it to be a blow off since i havent heard from him but i was just curious i guess how you would handle it if a guy decides to pop up again say, like after two weeks of not calling, the proper way to respond... Perhaps I took it all too seriouslly? He does live about an hour north of me though, could the distance be an issue?

Well, you're asking a guy how he would
respond to a guy.... a bit confusing...
Not all guys are the same, but an email like you describe would turn me off.
I think it's the way it's phrased.
An hour away is a consideration.
If he called after 2 weeks, and didn't have
a really good reason, I would say forget about him. An alternate response might
be something like, ..."well, I'm busy right now, but give me a call again in a couple weeks."
If he called then, at least that would show
some persistence - then maybe he's worth
another try.

geez-just when i think im done, he ends up calling me today! i kept it light for 10 minutes and then said i had to go because my friend was here to pick me up. he then said he would like to take me out next week if he has time and if he could call me back on monday- i said no prob. now, does this sound sincere or do you think hes just chatting me up??

You handled it well, and yes, I think he's
sincere. Let me know what happens.
