I am crazy over one of my guy friends that goes to school with me. He is moving to New York after this summer, so I emailed him asking if he wanted to hang out sometime before he left. He emailed me back saying "That would be awesome" and asked for my number. I emailed him back and now I am waiting. I emailed him nine days ago. How long should it take him to call or email me back and why has it taken so long?

I didn't proclaim any dying love for him or anything. I just expected us to hang out as friends-- that's how it sounded he wanted it too. I'm not expecting to get together with him, just hang out b/c we are friends.

I think he was excited at first but chickened out after thinking about it. That's how it is with some young guys. If you ask them out in a moments notice and they are interested they eagerly accept. That's when you should make the date right then and there because when given time to hash it over they get scared. Who knows exactly of what maybe they don't even know themselves. I think it's just the thought of being ALONEEEEE WITH A GIRLLLLLL!!! Email him again if you haven't. He may be even playing hard to get. In any case if you don't get a quick reply I'd let him go and chalk it off as a past experience. Good luck hun. It's nothing personal to you, I don't think, He just chickened out.

Well being summer and moving, maybe he is really busy and has forgotten about checking his email. I know I do it sometimes for about 3 days, but 9 is really long. Do you have his number? If so try calling him. Also try sending him another just saying hey thought you might have forgotten about me. Sometimes if you get a lot of emails, someones can get skipped over or deleted on accident.

Maybe send him a short email just saying nonchalantly "Hey I know we talked about hanging out. I'm free on these days normally, so just give me a call whenever you get the chance."
Bottom line: If he wants to call you and hang out with you, he will. Usually if a guy hasn't called, or has forgotten to call, it means you aren't too high on his priority list. Maybe he's trying to be nice, and rather than calling you and ending up hurting your feelings further down the road, he just isn't interested in making any new friends right now, and opted to not call you in the first place.

There are a couple of things that could have happened. One: maybe he already moved? Two: Maybe he's not really interested in hanging out - guys do that Three: Maybe he's grounded? Four: Maybe he's really busy helping pack up for the move . . . There are millions of possibilities, but just wait a couple more days and then call him.

Maybe he hasn't checked his email yet. I know most guys forget. Also he could be busy getting ready for his move. If you by chance have his number then give him a call or try emailing him one more time.

Email him to see what's up.
If you get nothing back, then move on.
Clearly you are better than that, and I'm sure that there are a million guys who would die to go out with you!
Don't let them pass by because you were waiting for someone that just wasn't that into you

Sweetie, guys are unpredictable. You never know what could have happened or why he hasn't called. Whatever you do, just act normal whenever he decides to call or send him another friendly e-mail maybe at the 2 week mark, you know just saying "hi" or something like that.

maybe his computer messed up or he just hasn't gotten around to checking his email yet. or maybe he didn't even recieve ur email! all kinds of things could've gone wrong. i think that if he hasn't sent u one back after 2 weeks u should call or email him again and ask him what's up.

I guess if he is already your friend you should wait longer. He is leaving everyone and is probably trying to hang out with all his best buds before he leaves. And maybe he's afraid to start something that he knows he can't finish.

If he was truly interested in you he would have called by now. Don't bother waiting any longer. Maybe sometime you'll hear from him, but don't sit by the phone for the call.
