Hi, I met this guy once a long time and recently heard he was single so I decided to text I found his number. I know he doesn't recall who I am because it was a long time ago. I remember because I saw his face ont twitter. Anyway I text him and he didn't know who I was. Actually he thought it was a joke or was a guy. Anyway I sent him a picture but didn't hear from him, Should I text him again. From what I understand from him is he is interested to know me but he thinks this is a joke. How do I prove its not a joke. Also I do know someone who knows someone he knows. I could also mention that. I didn't really want to do that because I didn't feel like putting anyone in the middle what do you think? Thanks

"I found his number" is a little creepy for someone who doesn't even remember you.
What happened to the good old days of contacting someone in a more open, personal way than texting? Can't you even send a request on Facebook?
Use a friend to ask him if he was interested if you were real.

I'm not on Facebook. Yeah I know it does sound creepy but he doesn't care I got his number he just thinks this a joke. This is one of those things that you just want to take a chance on I could ask the friend. Or text and explain. Thanks

I would leave others out of it, and since you sent a picture, a text to ask if he got it is appropriate. Go slow, play it by ear, and you could win his confidence.

If he is brushing it of as a joke why would he mention he is interested. If he is interested he should make the next move.

Hi thank you for answering talaniman I agree plan to do what you said. Yeah getting other people involved sometimes is not wise. NO help4u I asked him if it bothered him I got his number he said just wants to know who I am that's all. Its OK if I got his number. Also we chatted for awhile and after he thought it might be a joke. He didn't right out and say he is interested to know but from his conversation I could tell he wants me to prove to him this is not a joke and is someone who is interested in him. Thanks

If all of the communication thus far has been by texting, have you thought about calling him? Asking if he got the pic and giving him a voice to go with it?

Hey thanks I actually thought the same thing asking if he wants to chat on the phone.

Hey strange thing happened had a dream of talking on the phone with this guy. In the dream I called him and he answered and I started talking to him but I didn't tell him who I was he said he knew it was me. We had a nice conversation. I guess this dream is telling me to call him. What do you think. I still need to contact him.

I would have thought you did already. What's stopping you?

Thanks fear is stopping me but will this weekend.
