Just a thought -- make sure that he calls you (at least) two to three times to your one call to him.
Let's say he has called you 5 times last week
If you keep count you should not have called him more than twice.
Being a guy I know as I look back.
The best ones were the ones who didn't chase me.
The ones that were a little hard to get kept me interested.
Both parties are slowly giving away a little piece of their hearts.
Something to be very cautious about.
Laying a strong foundation takes time and is most important in a healthy relationship.
We remember that these are not our old drinking days and ways.
We are letting go of some old ideas.
