I met a guy last week, and we seemed to hit it off great. We talked and hung out with each other all night, and ended up kissing at the end of the night. He really seemed genuinely interested in me and we exchanged numbers, but he hasn’t called me yet. What should I do?

Trying to figure out what to do when you first meet someone is always hard. When you mix in a situation like yours it makes it even tougher, since you really don’t know what’s going on. There are many reasons why guys don’t call, but how do you know if he’s actually interested or not? In your situation, I think you should try to give him a call (since you said that you exchanged numbers). If you’re really interested in him and you think there’s something there to pursue, then it’s worth putting yourself out there for at least once.

Once you decide to make the call, ensure that you’re relaxed and you don’t come on too strong. One of the biggest mistakes that people make early on with a dating interest is getting too excited too early. Take the situation for what it is, two people starting to get to know each other. You don’t want to make that other person feel awkward with comments about your feelings and the like the first time you talk to them on the phone.

Make sure you take note of the tone of your conversation. Most of the time you can tell if people are genuinely interested in your or not by how the conversation goes. But in the end, the easiest way to tell is by their actions. When you’re about to let each other go, tell him that you should get together sometime and that he should give you a call (and make sure he has your number). If he calls after that, then you know he’s at least a little interested. If not, then maybe he didn’t call you in the first place for a reason. Either way, at least you’ll know for sure and you can move on without any regrets.
