i suck at this.. advice? too shy?

so this guy and i were going to see a movie tonight (maaybe a date? but ive known him forever) and he canceled because his relative was in town (via txt). so i txted back and i was like, thats kinda lame but ok. and soo he called me and left me a message and he was like explaining and asked me to call him back. and i didn't.. because i'm shy! but i'm not mad at him or anything for canceling. i just hate calling people. what should i do?

Update:

i think it might be too late to call tonight!

Update 2:

i just meant the situation was lame not his excuse.. he kind of blew me off before so yeah. he keeps txting me to chat though so i dont know what he wants!

    It sounds like you didnt let him just slide on the cancellation. You're better than me. The part about him being lame for it was GOOD. Never let that sh-t slide no matter if his mom had died. You didnt break, crack, or give into him. You may be a tough little shy chick. In this case it would look to show you're not soft and desperate not shy. Its a good gesture either way. Call him now that he texted a cancellation and left a voice mail. Its safe to do that now. Call tomorrow.

    First Of All Dont Be Such A Bi*ch If Hes Taking The Time To Call You And He Doesn't Just Leave You Sitting At The Movies By Yourself.

    And Second Of All Call Him And Apologize For Saying It Was *Lame* Which Is The Most Outdated Thing Ever.

    You should call him back. if he asked you to then he wants you to. But just dont be all bitter that he canceled. If he had family then oh well, it happens. You guys can talk and decide to go out another nite. Or hang out or whatever. Just be cool. and as far as the time...if its past ten then dont call. If he has a cell then 11 is the limit. Depends on your friend which you sould know right? Luck

  • Eitehr he was making a lame excuse to get out of it, or he had something actually important! Insticnt! If it feels wrong, then chances are he is full of shiiit and you should trust yourself and just send his a~ss packin!

    Chances are if youve known him for a long time, then that normally means he's wanted you and you never wanted him before so he doesnt wanna even bother with it anymore. It sounds like its totally flawed no matter which way you look at it so move on girl and get it right next time!

    Text him, to tell him to call you. You'll have tell him what your hang up is but you will have to eventually call him yourself. One day he might come across a aggressive girl while you guys are still deciding on being together or not and that will be the end of you two.

    Don’t feel scared. Call him and act like you didn’t even send that message. Tell him it is not important that he cancelled the movie night and that you can make it another time, then simply change the subject, like it’s no big deal for you.

    Nothing. He cancelled. You hate that. He should know that. Call him and tell him what you said here!

    haha i think that's cool that you didn't call him back make him chase you .. and as for being shy you will warm up to him after a while give it time :)

    If you're too shy to call, text him. He must know what you're thinking or you're standing to avoid miscommunications.
