So this is another stupid question about boys.

I know questions like this are on here a lot but…

I have never had a boy give me his number but one did while we were talking back and forth earlier through messages. And so like, should I play the game where I wait a day or a few to send him anything? He doesn’t have my number so I was just going to playfully send him “Just for future reference, this is my number”.
He told me to “hit him up later” if I wanted.
So I was just going to go ahead and talk to him.

Skip the games indeed.

Just text him when you have something good you want to say. Dont just text him for the sake of texting him

yeah just have something to say, like you’re doing something and you want to invite him or just say hey, how you doing, what’s nw if it’s been a day or so. Don’t make it more nerve racking then it needs, he could be checking his phone every 5 min hoping you’re going to text anyways, and if he doesn’t reply right away don’t worry.

so maybe waiting until tomorrow afternoon to be like hey what’s up. would be better than texting just for the sake of being like, oh hey this is my number.

Later to a boy means later today… to a girl later means later in the week. But strangely enough after you hook up later means never to a boy and in five minutes to a girl. Why is it soooooo?

I dont know. Because girls and guys don’t have the same concept of time, I guess.

I kinda figured that when he said hit me up later if you want kinda was like, open to later today. But wasn’t totally sure if he meant today or just sometime.

But he did give me his number so maybe I shouldn’t keep thinking about it and just be like hey !

Yeah. Now i don’t have to be like, well. I could text now.
But maybe I should wait a day or two blahblah. Which to me seems overrated.

I got a new haircut. I got some confidence.
Going for what I like.

Why don’t you just call and actually talk to him? It’s sooo much more real and sexy and better in every way… kids today I swear.

don’t call, it’s easier to text, nerve wise it’s not as hard, plus a simple conversation takes longer.

yeah what Doc said, call him up tommorrow and talk, just be yourself, talk about whatever, maybe mention going out to do something? texting is ok but real conversation is where it’s at.

What ever happened to the art of conversation…. If it’s late enough to text, it’s early enough to talk.

Well, that’s true.
I just didn’t want to call him and be like hey what are you up to. And then not really have anything else to say. But I guess having a conversation isn’t really as hard as I make it out to be.

I will gather up my courage to call.
Because if he gave me his number, he at least liked talking to me, right?

He liked you a lot or he wouldn’t give you his number and say hit me up. You should have given him yours and said you hit me up. Just go ahead and talk to him like you said an hour ago.

I have a friend that once texted a boy for 4 hours, they went back and forth, and still after all that time no one could come up with a plan, and she ended up getting the s***ts and going to bed. It could have all been avoided by a 10 min call.

So…. When you call, say Hi. ask him what he’s been doing, and try to meet up tomorrow. That way he knows you are interested, and he’ll be thinking about you until he see’s you.

Yeah. I thought about that after and figured I should have given him my number.
I’m a little slow when it comes to boys that like me. I never really figure it out.

well, after like I realize the texting is going to continue back and forth, I’ll call people because I can’t deal with full texting conversations.

But thanks for the good advice.
All of my close friends are girls and so, they always have bad advice that gets me ultimately nowhere.

He actually invited me to a party that well, I couldn’t go to.
But I believe that I’m going to tell him that if he’s not busy tomorrow, I’m free and we should hang out.

I was pretty excited when he invited me because well, okay first he texted me.
Then out of nowhere he called even though all I could hear were his friends and music. Whatever.
But then retexted. So I was like, he’s persistent.
He must want to hang out with me! Maybe he thinks I’m cuuute.Lolol.

Right big tip, when ure meeting someone new, always always always have a drink before hand because it will boost ure confidence hugely, i dont mean get wasted but merry coz as u seem inexperienced n im not sayin this in a nasty way u will find it hard for conversation etc. n then all the texting will go to waste just play it cool but dont wind him up coz then he will become un-interested and u dont want that ;)
