I met this businessman on a flight while working he said he want to see me again and asked for my number, I didn't give him as I wasn't sure about it... I asked for his namecard instead but didn't say will call him... Now I usually won't call in such cases as I'm shy, but I thought of calling him. However I still didn't because of busy working and also fell sick... Its like about 2 weeks now, should I call him or he might have forgotten? How do I start *** advice

You can't know if he's forgotten or not, right? It's OK to contact him, but use a phone not your own, and ask if he would like to get a day time coffee or lunch ONLY. It's important that you find out as much as you can about him at that first encounter - is he single or not, do you feel he is truthful about himself, before you reveal much about you and where you live. I might even bring a friend with me. If he's honorable, he will admire your caution.

I guess he is a decent businessman as I can search him on the net by his namecard, but don't know if he is single or married.. I just wonder is it too late to call after 2 weeks long? As he might've left it behind his memory and I don't know what to say if I call him.

It's not too late to call, but beware... you never know what you may be getting in to. Joypulv is right. Be sure it's daytime if you meet up with him and don't give him your personal information about where you live, phone number, etc.

But he already knows the company I'm working when we met...

It's not too late. If you don't call, you're just going to keep wondering what could have been. So instead of wondering, let's just find out!
Start the conversation by identifying yourself. Remind him of the plane ride and maybe something that you talked about on the plane. I doubt that he will forget who you are as he was the one who asked you for your number, so there's definitely a level of interest there.

Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose. Be honest with him about why you didn't call before this point.
Good Luck,
