My Mom’s name is Claire. Thanks for reminding me to give her a ring. 
You really shouldn’t need to be reminded to call your Claire. You’re obligated to call her, for all of the times that you, and everyone else, has not had the opportunity that now knocks on your door.
Before you call her, check here to make sure it’s not listed.
Bah, any PROPER Hero Pup would be lolloping straight to the 'phone, all friendly and tail wagging. in a big hurry to make friends (or more). 
On you go, call Claire. Or, as has been suggested text her first, if you’re a shy pup.
Plus, you might be sorry if you don’t. And you might turn into Ralph McTell.

Call Claire. What have you got to lose? You don’t want to hurt her feelings by not giving her a call. If you think you don’t have anything to talk about, jot down a few things before you dial.
Er, I guess, before you push the buttons.
Call Claire! Today!
How odd. I just got an email from my friend Claire asking me to call her.
Call her! Now! Before somebody else does!
Waiting isn’t going to help anything, so might as well just go ahead and get it over with. Good luck.
Curses! Voicemail!
But I kept it light, suggesting a post-study snack this evening.
Cross your collective fingers.
See now, that wasn’t so hard. Well done!
If you do meet, keep it light, have fun, show your interest through body language, and if you have the chance, things are going well, and you still want to, kiss her! So many people wait until a billion opportunities have passed, which is a huuuge mistake.
Just got a return voicemail.
Basically, “Hey, thanks for the call, busy tonight, but maybe I’ll see you around.”
And the winner of this year’s Heisman Trophy goes to…
Happy Scrappy Hero Pup!
Come come now. What are you going to do when y’all do end up seeing eachother around, and things might actually spark? You’re going to start another thread about your erroneous pessimism and eat crow, and we’ll all wag our fingers at you for your negative thinking.
So consider this a preemptive finger wag.

Call Claire today. Because if you don’t, when I come back I’ll kill you. And all your friends. And their friends.

Hey, she gave you her real number at least.
Screw Claire.
Call Blanche. She puts out faster.
I gather that is the intention.
Um…gormless doesn’t mean “spineless” or “cowardly”–it means “stupid.” Is that really the word you want?
Ouch indeed! Sounds like between the time she gave you her number and the time you called, The Ex showed back up or some shit like that. “See you around” ain’t good.
Apparantly he did mean that.
I’ve always understood gormless to mean spineless. I don’t know how you use it in your neck of the woods, but here it means resembling a jelly-like thing and has never been equated to stupidity.
I think you have a wrong understanding.
Gormless means stupid or dim, even in Brisbane
