How do I handle this (dating situation)?

Question

I went out the other night on a first date with a guy whom I met online. He's 22 and I'm 20.

It was a fun time, and I wouldn't mind seeing him again. I'm sure he was interested... I'd say we both have similar personalities, he showed interest all night long, as well as I looked my best

Although, here is what concerns me!

He has no cell phone... so communicating with him I guess is complicated (obviously he has a landline at his apartment, which he shares with 2 room mates)

At the end of the night , he said

'you should send me an e-mail sometime'

I was STUMPED!!!

And this was a guy who played it 'right' all night long. He was 'chivalrous', witty, funny... he just knew how to handle everything all night.

So I guess first reaction would be 'he's not that into you'... but I really don't think it's that.

How do I give him the message I need a guy to CALL ME. I should have told him right then and there!!

Should I call/email him this one time?

What do you suggest I do??!

Answer 1

If you like him, then drop him an e-mail.  

It's not hard.  Some guys are adverse to carrying phones.  However, you have to wonder if he's playing.  So, I would just e-mail him, if you enjoy going on dates with him, why would you stop that??  

After the date, say "Now it's your turn to call me".

Answer 2

Maybe he was just embarrassed about his phone situation and that he doesn't have a cell phone. It shouldn't bother him or you.

E-mail him. See where it goes.

And try to relax, people pick up on those vibes.

Answer 3

that to me would of been a perfect way to contact afterwards ...i cant stand talking on the phone it makes me nervouse

emailing would be so much better because its easier to be truthful

Answer 4

If you really like him, send him the e-mail. Send an e-mail and then observe his reactions/behavior from that point...if he starts to make the effort to return communications and ask to see you again, etc, then just consider it a fluke statement and don't read too much into it.

Answer 5

Find a inspired artist with a cell phone and love him.

Answer 6

There are some good suggestions here...

presumably if he has nothing to hide...

A guy will usually give you his phone #.

How can he e- mail  you with out a phone?

He may have a live-in gf/bf.

He could also be hiding something else.

Hopefully he is everything that he appeared to be.

I would highly suggest a day time date or event

to go to with others around!

Answer 7

email him telling him he should call you to make plans to meet up again because you had a great time. that way...he has an excuse to call you, and doesnt feel like a dork, since you told him to call. and you dont have to talk via computer anymore.

Answer 8

are you too good to make contact yourself? or are you just one of those annoying girls who play by the "rules"?

Answer 9

calm down.  does he have your telephone number?  wait for him to call you at home. If he doesn't call you within 10 days, find something cool to do (like check out some stupid band or some author at a bookstore, or whatever fits your personalities) and invite him via email exactly 2-3 days ahead of time. If he doesnt email you back never email him again.
