I met this guy at a store on Sunday and gave him my number. We didn't get a chance to talk to each other because I was leaving as the store was closing. He called me on wed. and left a message apologizing because it took him 3 days to call me(I never thought he was going to call at all)- he said his name, he said he was just overwhelmed with school and work and whatnot and left his number. I returned his call on Fri. and left a message apologizing for how long it took me to return his call. I called today (Sunday) to try and get ahold of him but I couldn’t. the only problem is that im having problems with my cell, so I just turn it off (it goes straight to voicemail) and forgot to leave my home # for him. When I called from my home phone home, my number comes up private so I was wondering if that was perhaps a reason why he hasn’t answered? So, im wondering if its too much of a hassle for him, or he’s just busy and interested and/or busy and just not that into me.

Should I call again? I was thinking about calling him on Tuesday if i hadn't heard from him just saying that i would really like to get together and apologizing for the crazy phone tag and then after leaving that message not call anymore unless he calls. is that ok?

You know this is a tuff one he is probably too busy, he probably is interested, waited a few days to call to not seem desperate, but when you took a while to call back he probably felt like you didn't really like him. Just give it some time keep trying for a few weeks every once in a while if nothing happens it wasn't meant to be, but if you do go out you will see if you like each other if you have anything in common. Dont sweat it most people are afraid of rejection even if they really like someone and we don't want to misunderstand a signal so we tend to be a little shy or withdrawn. Just say hey i would really like to go out with you sometime sorry about all the problems with the phone tag in the beginning just bad timing I guess, but i would like to go out and see if we hit it off.

I think he's just busy. I would not have apologized for taking three days to call unless I promised to call sooner. I think you've hit the nail on the head. Maybe he doesn't recognize your home phone number . . . I get calls all the time from people who dial the wrong number. Hell, I even got a few text messages from people who dialed the wrong number. Be patient for now . . . One week is a perfectly reasonable timeframe for a busy person to return a phone call. And given the technical difficulties you're having at the moment, he may very well have tried to reach you. Good luck!

He sounds nice to return your call right away like that; not too many guys are willing to do that. And because of that, I think he is interested in you.
But, you heard the man..he's busy with school and work...just give him some cooling off time to get settled, and then suggest getting together when the two of you have a little free time.

Quite the dilemma you have going on there. You broke rule #1, never leave voice messages. Try calling him once more in the middle of the week around 8:30pm but other than that, wait for him.

He wouldn't have called at all if he weren't interested. Guys don't like to waste their time and play games like women do. He probably is busy and if he keeps getting your voicemail may think you aren't that interested If it's meant to be you'll get ahold of each other. If not you haven't really lost anything.

I think you are worrying way to much. It's too early to tell with all this phone tag and business going on anyway. It shoud be obvious in a week or two.

i think he likes you at a 6o percent rate, because if he did not like you at all,why even bother calling you, unless he is desperate, and because of the delays and problems with your cell perhaps he thought that you are not in to him that much, so like a rational man would do he would sort of not make himself too available, just leave him a message, ask him to hang out, if he does not respond after i guess 2 days then i can safely say, he is not that in to you,try one more time

99% of guys are never too busy for someone they truly care about. If he's using excuses move on!
