Same guy my friend tried to hook me up with. A friend of my friend's friend. The same awkward dude I mentioned earlier up thread. They claim he has social anxiety. Claim. Long story short:
Weird behavior #1: dude expresses HIS INTEREST in me through my friend's friend. He saw me on Facebook. They set us up with each other's info after I gave the ok. Dude takes a week to call me after receiving my number. The friends say he was so nervous. Hmm.
Weird behavior #2: I miss his first call but then I call him back the next day less than 24 hours later. He says he doesn't remember calling my number. Mind you, he left a long voicemail. I clicked directly on his number from the voicemail and I recognized his voice plus I mentioned his friends name that was trying to set us up. He still doesn't recall. The friends say he probably got confused. Oh really? How does a guy who graduated magna cum laude, get so confused he can't look in his call records to see who in the world he called?
Weird behavior #3: I was ready to give him the chop, but then he called back and we finally got to talk. Yawn! Three days after the first convo, no contact until I text him to see how he was since he was the last one to call. He asks me about a bday party. I tell him I was planning on going to the party and if he was also. He said maybe. I said okay then goodnight. 2 days later, he then asked his friend for my friend's (the friends who tried to set us up) number to get information about the bday party. This is after I told him I was going to the bday party. So why didn't he just call to ask me? My friend said maybe he was too nervous to talk to me. bs.
Weird behavior #4: He doesn't show up to the party. Doesn't call until MLK day at 10am in the morning. I was at work so I forward him to voicemail then text him that I was work and would call later. I called him after I got home. He forwards me to voicemail and has yet to return my call. Social anxiety, my foot. That's just plain rude.
He is working as a software tech on contract and he travels from state to state. Frequently back in this state every other weekend.The contract is up in a few months. My friends said I should not shut him down until I meet him in person, but he has made such a shady impression on me pre-meeting that now I don't even care/want to meet him in person. Too harsh?
So what do y'all think "social anxiety" or "punk trying to run game to see if I would chase him"? Am I wrong to want to end things before they start?
Turns out TWELVE of them came. 
He looked like a deer in headlights but handled it well. 
Dating is a numbers game, and sadly sometimes the lower the number the higher the likelihood of disaster
In some cases, the remedy is to just keep getting out there... so you develop thick skin and get rid of unrealistic expectations. Don't let the experience with this guy stop you.
) is trying to get at me. He def knew that we went on those dates, but he's fronting like he doesn't know the extent of it. I've known him longer than widdle man though. I'm ignoring him now. I'm mad about it though. I should have dated him and left widdle man for those that don't mind widdle men, but NOOOO I was playing hard to get. We've been "flirting" with one another since freaking 2nd grade.
