Who should call or text first: You or your crush?

This guy and I exchanged numbers. So what’s next? Do we set up a date? Who sets it up?
 
Dave: Traditionalists say the guy should take the initiative. With me, there’s no place for tradition when it comes to dating. It leads to a bunch of poor, confused souls sitting around trying to figure out what they’re supposed to do, rather than what they want to do. Since every situation is different, there’s no proper next step. If you want to go out with him and feel comfortable making the first call (or text), go ahead. He must want to go out with you since he gave you his number. Note: If you call and the greeting is, “Domino’s. May I take your order?” you have a problem.
 
Bill: Hey, this isn’t The Rules for Dating, you know. Dave and I could set up the date, but then you’d have to buy us dinner—and you don’t wanna do that. Unless you’re both in the business of updating the phone book, then I’d say you probably exchanged numbers because you want to see each other socially. If the guy is formal and into dating etiquette, then he should probably call. If he’s a low-key guy who likes and respects you, he’d probably love you to call him. Ask yourself, “If there were no societal expectations, what would I feel natural doing?” Then do it!

So I met the guy I like at my new school in September through one of our mutual friends who lives back at home. We clicked instantly, but we only see each other at band practice, so I gave him my number (at the time I didnt like him like that) and he gave me his. Over the weeks that we got to know each other, we'd often say hi at practice, but we'd text more than we ever really talked. After two months of knowing him, I finally convinced myself to tell him that I like him. I kept it short and to the point, but he never replied back! I waited 24 hours before texting him again, and we went on acting like
nothing had ever happened. Sometimes he finds me at practice & will smile & wave, or if we're walking past each other he'll look at me, say hi & smile when I start to say hi back. We still havent talked about it, so Im wondering if he likes me, likes me? HELP!!!


Hey girl,

He was probably surprised, especially if you told him that over texting. If he hasn't brought it up, I would try to stay friends for now. He knows how you feel, so if he's ready for a relationship, he'll bring it up!

okay so I've already posted a question about i guy i like, and you said he def likes me. since the last time i wrote in, my crush (B) has asked my friend for my number, but never texted me, and snapchatted me, but it ends up being awkward cuz so much time passes in between messages. In school, he pokes me or smiles at me, but once him and his friend (G) went over to my friend (J) and was talking to her and B said "how's (my name)" and my friend laughed and said "you guys are datinggg!!" he knows her so he knows she was joking, but then another time B was with G and hit my butt as he walked past and then smiled at me and I had a class with G right after, and he was smiling at me when I walked in the class. Everyone keeps telling me B likes me but it almost seems like he's mocking me because it's obvious i like him... my friends tell me it's not obvious tho, and he's probably just too nervous to text me or really make a move. PLEASE HELP ME AND TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO!!!

 

Hey missmanicure, yeah it just sounds like he's a little nervous to make an official move. He's letting you know he's interested by flirting but also giving you indications that he wants you to make the move. Maybe you could ask him out and take things to the next level. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Okay so I was at this cafe with my bff (J) one day when a kid (call him B) and his friend came in. They sat with us for a long time and long story short, B was flirting with me the wholeee time. He also put my number in my phone but because of another reason I never texted him. This was about 4 weeks ago. Then two nights ago at the homecoming dance, me and J were dancing together cuz thats what we normally do and B and his bff S, that J likes (they've know each other for a longtime and are kinda close), came over and started dancing with us. They kept coming back and danced with us multiple times. Today at school S asked J if she liked dancing with him and she started to say it was funny (hes a jokester) and he basically said he danced with her because he was embarassed for her that she wasnt dancing with any other guys. Today B smiled at me every time I saw him plus poking my stomach once when he walked past me. Is S serious? and does B like me or is he just being weird?




S is probably unsure what he and J are. He probably said that to play it safe with J. But who really knows. It seems like B is into you. He sure is flirting! Try hanging out more and you'll be sure to know!
