Calling question

Calling question

Hey,

I was hoping to get someone's advice here. You see, I still haven't received word from the TR rules board administrator...

I went on a 'date'...if you could call it that...w/ someone I met in a class/seminar one Sat morning 3 wks ago. He said it would be great to stay in touch and draw/sketch together. he also said a lot of his friends aren't into it. I said, sure, and promptly said that I would be at an art museum sketching the upcoming weekend.

He said that sounded great, and could he have my contact info. I gave my email, but he also asked for my phone...and then he gave me his. (BTW, I didn't have any romantic interest in this guy--and I was planning on inviting more people to create a 'sketch' group).

So, mid-week, he emails me and said that he enjoyed talking with me in class (btw, I spoke to him first saying there was an empty seat by me. There were no other seats and my purse was on the last seat so i moved it) Ahem, and he also said that he wanted to buy me lunch at the nice museum restaurant where you have to make a reservation. He said I seemed nice and he wanted to get to know me better.

Awkward! about 24 hrs later, I email him back brieflty and said I didn't know how the reservation would work because I already invited 3 others who were coming to sketch. He said that was fine and maybe some other time...eek! So, sat comes and I'm a tad nervous because of the situation. It wasn't so bad, but he insisted on buying me a wrapped sandwich and drink & he brought me a tiny paint palette set that he made himself. it was a gift. :)

After about 5 hours (way too long) of sketching mostly w/ me but occasionally being surrounded by my acquaintances (and close friend), we said goodbye and he asked if he could call me sometime. I said "sure". I recieved emails from him, but only "shooting the breeze" emails. I only briefly responded to one that had a question in it. He tried calling me over Thanksgiving weekend, but I didn't pick up (dream girl hours).

Didn't call since (about 5 days)...until today but I was out and didn't get it til later (3 missed calls and 1 voice mail) asking me if I wanted to go to the zoo to sketch with him on sat. (I know this is the cutoff since its Thurs for Sat). It is against a rule.

Not sure if I should respond to this...? Or should I wait for him to call again?
