I've never really dated before so I'm kinda new at all this. I've been emailing a match back and forth for 3-4 days. Neway I gave him my number after him saying we should talk sometime. Then he responds with his number. So I don't know if I should call or if I should wait for him to maybe call me.

Go ahead and call.

If you left him a message it is his turn to call, but waiting is not right.

If a reasonable period of time has gone by and you haven't heard from him, go ahead and call.

The book "He's Just Not That Into You" would say let him make the first call.... and don't be surprised if he doesn't.

Go ahead and call him if you want to, but if he's really interested he'll call you.

If you're still communicating by e-mail, ask him if he'll be around Wednesday night (or whenever you want to talk) and make a "date" for the call. Ask him to dial you. Trust me, it works better that way.

Since when Froggie?
Sometimes the market conditions dictate to wait and put your entire life on hold - isn't that what's meant by this ridiculous reason for "closing" someone on eHarmony? since there is no other way to put someone "on hold"?

And why is there no smilies in this post ?

If it's
"Text message-speak" you are using to say "ANYWAY" then I highly suggest you dispense with emails and start with the phone calls right away.

Butchering the English language with "texting" is hastening the decline and fall of American civilization
