When would you call...

So this guy I went to high school with sent me a friend request a couple of weeks ago. He is single. We sent a couple of messages back and forth. He works like three jobs, and I thought for a minute there that he was interested, but he never replied to my last message. I had all but forgotten about him until last night. Sure, he said he had three jobs, but it had been two weeks since his last message. So last night, he finally responded. He sent me his number and said he wanted to get together.
So, this is really a bad week for me. On top of the holiday, it's my daughter's birthday and I have made her some promises so I'm really not available... this week. When do you all think I should call? Should I call now and make plans for next weekend? Should I call after I have gotten through the holiday and the weekend coming? After all, he did wait a couple of weeks to get back to me. And I'm certainly not trying to come off as desperate. I've finally gotten comfortable with being single. What do y'all think?

July 5th is my daughter's bday and we are going to Six Flags on the 7th. The whole week is really no good for me!0 -

If all you are doing is calling to set up a meeting then call when you have an extra 15 minutes at a reasonable time of the day or evening. If that's today so be it. If it's in a week fine. If you want to talk and do the all flirty giddy thing, wait until you have an hour or two. Don't start turning it into a game of he waited X days so I will too. If it's going to be a game before you ever meet, then just move on. The games get childish and will wear on both of you really quick.0

I'm not trying to make it a tit for tat thing. I just don't want to seem desperate. I thought that was clear. :huh:0 -

Honestly, I'm just nervous about calling him. Trying to gather the courage.0 -

Don't be nervous ;-) Easier said than done, I know! But you got this. Chances are it will go to VM if he's working anyhow, so just leave a quick simple message "Hey, It's the fuzzy little Husky! Just got your message and thought I'd check in. Give me a ring when you're free! I love you and want to make babies with you, K? kiss kiss!"
And just hang up.0 -
Call when you have a minute to call. I don't think you need to think too hard about it. Just let him know this week isn't good, but you'd like to see him when your schedule clears up.0

LMAO! I think we are both done making babies...0 -
Call ASAP. Life is short. Better to know where you stand sooner than later.0
-
Call whenever you get some free time. I would say give it a day, but since tomorrow is the fourth, I'm sure everyone will be busy.0
-
Just message him back and tell him it's a busy week for you but you'll call when you get a chance. And then give him your number in case he wants to text or cal you in the meantime.0

I'm not sure. That's why I haven't decided when to call. Tonight really isn't good because of a late appointment. Tomorrow is, of course, the holiday so I've got plans. Thursday is the kid's birthday so I don't want to take any time away from her even though we haven't really made any plans. Friday, I'm having some kids over to spend the night. Saturday, we are going to Six Flags. Sunday would be the earliest that I might be able to have a long phone convo.0 -
I think that I'll just text him to let him know that I have a busy week, but that I plan to call him on Sunday and ask what time I should call. I think that works for me.0

Me too. If a guy is really into you, he'll understand. I just recommend NOT agreeing to meet him this week if it's really busy or talking to him longer than you have time to really talk. I say that b/c then you'll be stressed or distracted and not able to just relax and have fun with him. Even on the phone it's important to be relaxed and enjoy yourself.
Best wishes! What a great week you have planned!0 -

I texted him. He responded right back with "2:08". :laugh:0 -

Agreed. I met my ex online (not a dating site) and she sent me her number, I called the very next day. Later on, after we had commited to each other, she said she took my 'quick call' as a sign of desperation... and I said "Well you answered! And I don't have time to sit around and play casual games while there are other men out there trying to take what is now mine!" 0 -

I would agree with this - and I hope you did!!!0 -
Just an update. I did end up calling him on the 4th and we had a nice 'catching up' kind of conversation. I'll probably call him tonight.0
