Question about Phoning Etiquette

[ghettogirl]

Is it ok to phone a guy you like if you got his phone number from the phone book and he didn't actually give it to you?

What you talking about?? STALKISH???

 

"Stalkish" would be if he tells you never to call again and you keep doing it.

 

If it's in the phone book, it's public knowledge...phone away!!!

thanks, ugottabejokin ... i was feeling kind of awkward because my brother said it was stalkerish, too, but this guy practically told me where he lives and all the landmarks by his house.

 

i used to be his friend at work but then he moved away to another job site and i gave him my number before i left there. he called me once and said, "I've been wanting to call you for a long time" and then told me he broke up with his girl because he was trying to call me and his girl had dialed in on the line before the phone rang and he picked up and thought he was talking to me. But we hung up that time and I forgot to ask for his number. This was about 11 months ago but my bf was sitting right there at the time and it wasn't cool to talk. I had given him my cellphone number because we were on dial up internet at the time and the houseline was always busy.

 

Me and my bf broke up about 3 months ago and I found this guy's book when I was moving to my new place so I wanted to call him to return it.

In your case not at all, he is interested in you. I would call once and keep it short and see how he responds.
