So, I met a guy on Friday at 18th Street Lounge. He was nice and funny, smart and entertaining. Actually he was foreign too (from Germany). We talked for over an hour. He asked me for my phone number and email (wrote it down) and he gave me his phone number as well (probably only the second or third time I’ve given my number out). For all I know, I was the 5th number he got all night.

I figure, if he doesn’t call…then no loss. It was a little unexpected bonus to a fun night. But then I think, well…he gave me his number too. So, should I call him say Thursday if I don’t hear from him? Is that too late/too early? I figure a week is the window for someone you meet in a bar. But, should I assume if he doesn’t call, he’s not interested…or that I should just go for it since I really have nothing to lose either way? I have to say, I have called guys before…I have nothing against it. And, I don’t want to play games. But then, I know that there is the standard idea that, girls don’t call boys. But, some boys like to be called. I guess I just like knowing that I put it out there too, so I know I did what I could. Then of course, I know that if he likes you, he’ll call.

It’s not necessarily that I am worrying so much about this particular guy, but mostly in general…how to deal with this. Sit around and wait, and assume no interest if no contact? Or, make a move and if no interest, then oh well.

To call or not to call…what is the protocol?
