The first time I talked to this match of mine on a Wednesday and it went well. We laughed and joked, and had some meaningful discussions. BUT he did something unusual at the end of the conversation. He said, "Have a nice rest of the week, and I'll call you at the end of this week, if that's okay?". All of the guys I talked on the phone ask me out during the first phone conversation, but not this one. I was a little surprised. He called again on Sunday and told me that he went camping this weekend and that's why it took him some time to get back to me. So we talked and laughed and joked like last time.

He did the same thing again at the end of the conversation. "Have a nice week and I'll call you at the end of the week."

That was odd!

I'm not sure how to respond or react when he said that. So I said sure.

Could anyone enlighten me?

Maybe he's just waiting to get to know you a little better.

There's been times when I would ask a woman out after the first phone call, there's been times when I would ask a woman out after the second phone call, and there's been times when I would ask a woman out after the third phone call.

Patience, grasshopper.

When you're right, you're right!

One thought. Do you know what he does for work during the week? That could have something to do with it.

Agree with all.

Also, if you are ready to meet, why not do the asking, or at least drop some unmistakable hints.

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I'd rather be honest. If he's not asking you out then there must be a reason why. I've had a similar problem with women who I wanted to ask out when the communication is sporadic at best. And you don't want to waste your time with someone who isn't interested in you. Nobody deserves that. Let him chase you and see if he's really interested enough to ask you out. Keep your options open.

I think he is taking his time, and not rushing. He also getting to know you at the same time. I'll be honest its kinda odd that he's doing that or he's being a gentlemen and giving you space until you two are available to have time for a date.

I do the same thing. I want to be polite and safe. Not to mention I have no idea who this person I'm speaking with is... LOL
