A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I accidentally dialled a guy that I like. I don’t know how that happened. Seriously. I didn’t mean to go anywhere near his number. Seemingly his number was still on my call logs from weeks back (??!).

The situation is awkward because he and I swapped numbers a few weeks ago, and he said he’d call me sometime.Neither of us has had contact since then. Until, Moron over here accidentally dialled his number!

I was still asleep to be fair…but I can’t tell him that!

I cancelled the call when I realised it wasn’t the number I had intended to dial!

He called back in about 15-20 min. I let it go to voicemail. NO words were entering my mind as to HOW I was going to explain that botch up!

In the voicemail he basically said, “I’m sorry I was in a meeting, please return my call.”

I can’t tell him I accidentally dialled his number…and that my phone seems to like him because he almost got a text message at 3 am!

How do I tactfully, explain this without coming across as a total moron but rather as a cutie pie?!???

Phone him up! He wants you to phone. He doesn't know that you accidently phoned him up, does he? He was in a meeting. If he asks why you phoned him up, very sweetly say that you found his number and dialled it in a moment of madness. You want this guy to see you as a cutie pie, which means you like him? Why don't you just ask him if he wants to meet.

I think he wants you to call him back....and you should if you want to talk to him and just don't mention that you accidentally called him unless he asks.

I mean, if he says something like, "I'm glad you called me!" Don't say, "Yeah well it was an accident" that would be just kind of mean.

If he says, "So what made you call me?" Just say, "Funny story, I pressed the wrong button and dialed you up, but it looks like that worked out okay!" Or something to that effect.

Hm,,what kind of meeting was he in at 3 am? I think that you should just call him back and start a converstation. Does he have to know that you accidentaly called him? That might make him feel back. He called you back, its not like he completely ignored that you called.

If i were you, I would just call back and start up a convo..Maybe down the line after a few dates you can tell him it was an accident. Otherwise maybe he won't buy into it.... I am the type of girl that never calls a guy first,but i would still do it this way.
