Please stop making assumptions, how do you know they are not close friends or something alike?

If they were, I imagine she would know who was calling.

Wow 15, you must be really fun at parties

Maybe he was calling from a different phone, his number is supressed or something alike. Yeah, there is a possibility they don't know eachother well, but we won't know unless OP gives us a follow-up.

I doubt he would freeze up that much if they were friends.

I seriously love how white knighty the comments section is on all of these lol. Never would a realistic comment like mine get downvoted to hidden on a site with people who actually view things from realistic perspective rather than fairy tale dream land. You aren't in love with someone when you aren't in a relationship with them, it just doesn't happen that way. You are crushing, with one-itis. It won't go anywhere until you either make a REAL MOVE. Or move on.

I disagree. I met my boyfriend of over a year three times before we actually started talking. The second time my other friend pissed him off so much he threatened to kick our asses (until he remembered who I was). Different things work for different people. There is no set way to do things.

I was good friends with my boyfriend a whole year before he worked up the nerve to ask me out. We've been together almost two years now. So I have to disagree as well. Nothing wrong with getting to know someone first.

As a female, I have to disagree here. I wouldn't go out with a guy I don't know. For me, there has to be some kind of connection. We don't have to be bffls or anything, but at least I'd want us know each other to some degree. I want to have things in common with a guy. Like say a guy who loves indie games, or Marvel comics. I can connect with a guy like that, because those are interests I have. If they're meant to be, it'll happen no matter how long a person waits.

to #34 I'm not saying you should be complete strangers, but it sounds like they are close friends and if it's been 2 years, chances are she only wants him as a friend. Guys really should ask a girl out when they are still friendly acquaintances, and not good friends. I'm not saying it's always like that, but far more often than not, becoming good friends first hurts your chances of actually getting the girl. to #21, the key word is you only met 3 times before potentially dating. I'm not say ask out complete strangers, but don't wait till you're close friends either. You'd probably be weirded out if your closest guy friend of the last few years confessed he loved you. to #33, you have to understand that situations like yours are the exceptions, not the rule. Most times if a guy makes friends with a girl for a while before asking them out, it doesn't work out.

The way you worded it, it sounds like you look at a girl and then ask her out without even knowing if you truly are attracted to her. That shouldn't be how it is. There are plenty of people who end up marrying their best friend of a couple years. Sometimes feelings change over time and you find yourself in love with them.

I disagree with this entirely I think it is almost always best to spend time getting to know each other before you start dating Though I suppose I'm a bit weird as id rather be absolutely certain I care a lot for somebody before any attempts at dating as it just feels more honest/ nice whatever you want to call it

I knew my girlfriend for three years and were close friends for two of them before I asked her out. We dated for nearly 4 and a half years

Seriously you're extrapolating a lot of things I didn't say. Im saying that I don't wait till I have a crush on someone to ask them out. I'm not saying I ask out complete strangers. I'm also saying that MANY people wait far too long to ask out the person they like, which is absolutely true.

A bit harsh as you don't know how often they see each other and if she's unaware of his feelings it'd be rude/ weird for him to invite her somewhere to tell her in person

Why would that be rude? I'd rather a guy tell me he likes me in person rather than over the phone.
