Thread title says it all. But, if you must know, she’s about my height, blonde, bright blue eyes, great conversationalist, and puts in as many hours a week on the water as I do. Plus (and this is key) she gave me her number. So give a guy some encouragement, eh? ---

Well she told me she lost her cell phone the last time her mom dropped her off at my house so you probably won’t get ahold of her. Why are you calling my 12 yr old anyways? :dubious: 😉 ---

"Clair, the moment I met you I swear I felt as if something somewhere Had happened to me Which I couldn’t see And then The moment I met you again I knew in my heart we were friends It had to be so It couldn’t be no" Is that enough reason? 🆒 ---

Speaking as a gormless male myself, I have two points. 1. Call her. But just to make a new friend. Don’t put pressure on yourself by thinking this is the defining moment of your life. Just hang out. 🙂 2. She sounds great. Give me her number - I’ll take over! :eek: ---

Was it her cell phone number? If so, sent her a text, and keep it light and funny. If an exchange ensues, you’ll be able to judge when a voice call will be welcomed. Breaks the ice a bit easier, if you are a bit shy. Good luck! ---

She gave you her number, which clearly was her double-secret bass-ackwards way of telling you not to call. Either that, or she and her girfriends are sitting around waiting for you to call, so she can put it on speaker phone and they can all laugh at you. Call Claire. ---

Don’t call Claire. You’ve got to ice her like a kicker trying to kick a game-winning field goal. That’s the only way you can let her know you’re a real man. ---

Why haven’t you called her yet? A new friend is never something to turn down, and if it could be more - go for it! Are you calling? ---
