Hey :)
Me and my hubby got together that way :D
Met in a club on my 19th B’day and he gave me his number.
We are married with 3 kiddies now ;)
What I did was texted and said~
“Hey, it’s (your name) from (where you met)
Just texting to see if you remember me and if you want to meet up at (time and place)
Let me know if you can”
And that was it.
Yeah, it’s good advice, I’d have said something like that, go for it! Don’t be scared and good luck!
i texted him about 4 and a half hours ago and havent heard anything yet, im going crazy, but i dont know if its coz hes at work and busy or something, maybe he changed his mind about me.
Yeah, don’t worry, I swear I’ve hear this about 50 times from various women, and it’s always nothing. You have no idea what’s going on on the other end. The number of good possibilities, waaaaaay out numbers the number of bad possibilities. He wouldn’t have given you his number if he was just going to change his mind about you like that. The chances that’s actually the case are so slim they’re not worth considering.
Don’t worry, just wait.
Here’s some example “good possibilities”:
he’s run out of credit, he’s run out of battery, his phone is off, he’s got his phone on silent, he’s got his phone on vibrate but didn’t feel it for one of about a hundred different reasons, he’s left his phone at home and he’s at work/out/whatever, he got the text but he’s busy at the moment so he’ll text back when he’s got some free time
i know this happens a lot. i really like him. but what if he just gives his number to anyone, guys do that right? if they see someone then they give their number, and dont always call back. so bloody frustrating!
Only a certain type of guy does that really, and if he’s that type, you’re better off without him.
Guys will act carefree about giving out their numbers, coz it’s how we cope when we don’t hear anything back. If you give a girl your number, they never say “ugh no, i don’t want it” they just accept and act all nice, and most of the time. So you never know, so you have to play it down and think nothing of it. And then as soon as you get the text back, then you take it as it is… and you tell all your mates and have a big party, and you get the hot girl, and ride off into the sunset and happily ever after the end. xD
But seriously, it’s nothing, don’t worry. If you ask me, you’d have to wait a week before I’d say it was okay to start worrying. Getting hold of credit can be amazingly hard to get done sometimes, either because you don’t have time, or you just forget to buy it.
did you get your text back!?!!??!?!! the suspense is killing me! Let’s make this into a reality TV show!
:)
How are you holding up?
True, only certain guys give out their numbers to just anyone and you don’t want that guy..lol. Just give it some time. Some guys play games just like girls. I think the going rule was to wait a whole day so that they don’t seem clingy and/or desperate…even if they are.
lol, he’s probably on help making a post like; “a girl just texted me, now i want to text her back, but i dont know what to write…”
sound familiar? haha
lol, maybe he is but i doubt it, no, he hasnt texted back yet, i hope hes not playing games, im not that kinda girl, i’ll post it if he replies, ill let you all know what he said.
haha…well, I’ll get around to texting you back eventually…now that I know you’re interested.
;)
j/k!
If nothing else, you’ve gotta love the rush.
lol tnx red fox, but no, i dont enjoy the rush, i do not like to be kept waiting. i asked a guy if, in the same situation, how long he would take to text back, he said straight away, but that seems kinda desperate maybe, what about you guys? i thought maybe after 5pm, when he gets home from work but i dont know what time that is. aaaa im going out of my mind!
Aww. well if it helps, for me, it depends on how interested I am. If she’s really captivating it would be within an hour or two, though sometimes at work I miss texts, so I get them at like 9pm…lol. I might check a bit more often if I was expecting something though. But I don’t play games, and I can be desperate for attention from the right person and I’m not afraid to admit it…hey, it’s who I am, if you can’t handle it, we aren’t going to make a good couple to begin with;)
But good luck!
well he wasnt expecting it so maybe he is just busy and not checked his phone, idk but im starting to think he wont reply…
Like I said, don’t worry, you don’t know what’s going on. He might have accidentally spent all his credit before you texted him, texting his mate’s about how an exciting football game or something.
