He gave me both his number and his brother´s and I gave him the number of my parents who were picking me up(so he could give it to his brother). He never asked for my number from Spain(the one I currently use). Upon my arrival, his brother couldn´t get in time on the airport and we spoke on the phone and he suggested I let the paper at the tourist info point in the airport. Ever since, I have been thinking I should have called the guy to ask if the paper got to his brother but I was ashamed he might interpret it as me making a move on him. The problem is the guy seemed very nice and was quite handsome, let alone the fact that we are from the same country and we both live here. Basically, I know nothing about him except his name and phone number. For all I know, he could be married with kids, even if he was my age approximately. I am old-fashioned, in my opinion the guy should always make the first move .... but at first sight I really liked him. What do you think I should do? Find an excuse and call him or just let it go since maybe all he wanted was for me to do him the little favor I did?

I think you should give him a call. Try to engage conversation with him, try to know him more and if he too tries to do the same, you can become friends as a first start.

If I were in your shoes, I would do as you suggested; ring him to ask if his brother got the paper. In his eyes, this will almost certainly not look like you are 'making a move'. However, if he is interested, you will give him the opportunity to show that. If he makes conversation with you, for example, it would indicate that he wants to get to know you better. If not, then he probably did only want a favour from you. Apart from anything else, it is courteous to check that you did the favour correctly, after all, he trusted you enough to ask... and to give you his phone number. My advice; give him a call.
