Will He Ever Call?
From LoveToKnow Teens
Are you wondering if that cute guy you met is ever going to pick up the phone and call you? Well, so was this reader and let's learn what the Teen Team has to say.
Will He Ever Call Me
Reader Question
I just returned from camp where I met a counselor named is Shotty. He was so awesome and I totally liked him, and he told me that he also liked me. Every time that he would look at me I would just smile, I couldn't help it… he just made me happy. My friend Randee and I got in a little fight so I was really down that day, but when I looked at Shotty and all he did was ask me what was wrong and I just felt so much better. Anyways… I really, really like him, so the last day there I gave him my number and I said that he should call me some time. But he hasn't called me yet, and I don't know why.

Advice from Melissa
Hi,
Sometimes, boys have every intention of calling you when they say they are going to. And then they get dorky and either forget, start hanging around their friends, and just basically flake out. If you don't have a way to reach out to him (IM or Facebook) let it go. Just consider it one of the many flirtations and fun experiences with summertime that you will have.
Next time, instead of giving the boy your number to call, maybe you should get his phone number or his screen name and that way you can be in charge -- instead of leaving it in someone else's hands!

Advice from Katie
WELL, let me just get out my crystal ball and gaze into the soul of the aforementioned Shotty and unscramble the deepest inner workings of his twisted mind... Okay, I have divined a list of possible reasons that Shotty hasn't called:
- He was kidnapped by pirates. There is no cell phone reception in Davy Jones' locker.
- He was abducted by aliens. No reception on Venus either.
- AMNESIA
- He's busy fending off a robot apocalypse by rejecting all modern technology.
- He's a tool.
I don't know. There are a million reasons. Maybe you misinterpreted some signs here and there, and (i hate this book, by the way) he's just not that into you. If he was your counselor, maybe he's too old for you (legally, i mean. I am sure you are full of maturity). Maybe he's married with two kids. Maybe he's got the herp (in which case, you dodged a bullet). Either way, he's obviously a loser.
I'd go with the robot apocalypse thing, though. Therefore, you should wish him luck. Robots are vicious. They have LASERS in their EYES.

-- Contributed by: will he ever keep in touch?i began to talk to a boy the lastweek of school even tho i liked him all year well the last week of school it was offical we bgan to date i gave him my number he only called once and now its the summer cant really get in touch with him so
-- Contributed by: kaelygirls, does it occur to anyone that maybe he's just not interested? Sometimes the easiest thing for a guy - or girl! - to do is say "sure, i'll take your number - because if they said "no," they know they'd be hurting your feelings. Plenty of smart, outgoing, cool guys are going to forget to call you in your lifetime - so what? It doesn't mean that they are evil, or liars, or that you are uncool or not worth their time. Imagine, for example, if Shotty went home from summer camp to discover that his older brother was going to the military, and his dog disappeared, and his best friend no longer wanted to skateboard any more - he just might have other things on his mind than you.
Just because you like him doesn't mean that you'll ever talk to him again, that he likes you, or that you should bother pursuing it. Stop overthinking it!
As for your comment, Miatta: perhaps its time to have some more self esteem and find a guy who likes you for YOU - not for what he wants out of you. They are out there - they just take time to find.
