Phone call etiquette

[DsBlu01CivEX]

Ok, so there is this guy at the bar that I'm interested in...and he tells me that he's interested in me (and acts like it too...so I'm pretty sure he's not lying)...well he also attends the same college I do. So, before winter break he asked for my phone number so that he can call me and that maybe we can hang out sometime over break. Cool...I gave him my number and he never called. Ok I'm didn't stress at all about it. I didn't think anything about it. Sure I would have liked him to call, but he didn't...no big deal. So, I saw him last night at the bar which is the first time I saw him since giving him my number. And now I feel bad cuz I think I sorta forced him not to call. see...the night I gave him my number Erin and I were sayin about how we hate it when guys call like 900x a week....sorta is like borderline staker. So...he told me that he didn't call for 2 reasons...1 was that he worked a ton over break (which I knew was true cuz I saw one of his roommates over break and he told me that the dude was workin a lot) and 2 was that he didn't want to come off as stalker-ish. So, I informed him that there IS a happy medium between not calling and seeming like an asshole and calling too much and coming off like a stalker. Then I felt bad cuz he didn't call and I basically called him an asshole.

What do you guys think is proper phoning etiquette...like how many times do you call before she calls you back, or how many days in between calling her after you get her number (and this is all based on the fact that you like her and you know she likes you...none of this "I'm not sure if he/she likes me stuff")


*edit* after re-reading this I just realized that I'm not very smooth with guys I like and ultimately thats probably why I'm still single. I gotta work on that.:o
