This is a no-brainer. If he texted you, it means that he’s interested in talking to you, so why not call him? He’ll be happy to hear from you, and you’ll get to talk to him.
Just make sure that you don’t bombard him with calls. You want to let him text you first! If he texted you, then it’s probably safe to call him.

If you want to set up a date, why not call him? Let him know that you’d like to see him again.
But most of the time, it’s better to text when setting up a date. That way, he has enough time to look into his calendar to see when he’s free.
Reasons why you shouldn’t call him
After all these great reasons why you should call him, you probably already grabbed your phone. But hold it! There are some reasons why you shouldn’t call him after your date.
1. You already called him
If you already called or texted him today, definitely don’t call! It’ll just seem like you’re needy and desperate. He’ll think you’ve got nothing else to do.
Have some self-respect!
“But what about texting?” you ask. Well, find out if you should text him first or not!
2. You don’t have anything interesting to say
If you don’t have anything interesting to talk about and just want to hear his voice, it’s probably better not to call him. He’ll just think that you’re boring or that you’re clingy.
If you really want to call him without a proper reason, try to come up with something interesting to talk about. That way you won’t seem like a boring person!
3. He’s busy
If you know he’s busy, it’s probably not a good idea to call him. It’ll just be a waste of his time, and he won’t appreciate it. It will annoy him probably.
If you really want to talk to him, try texting him instead. That way he can write you back as soon as he’s got time for you.
4. You don’t want to seem too interested
Love needs some strategy. Even though we mentioned you shouldn’t play games with him, you also shouldn’t seem too interested. If you call him too soon, it might make him think that you’re desperate.
If you don’t want to seem too interested in the guy you’re dating, then it’s best to wait a little bit before you call him.
Some people nowadays also prefer some peace and quiet, especially introverts. So if you suspect he may belong to that type, don’t call him too soon and give him some time.
5. You’re not interested
If you’re not interested in seeing him again, just don’t call him. It’s as simple as that. You don’t want to lead him on, and you don’t want to waste his time.
If you’re not interested in the guy, then just don’t call him. It’s simple, and it’ll save both of you a lot of time and hassle. Plus, you won’t have to worry about him calling you!
But if he seems to be into you a lot, you should probably tell him that you’re not interested. It’ll save him the heartache.
6. It’s too soon
If your date just ended, it’s probably too soon to call him. You should give yourself some time to recover and reflect on the date. You don’t want to seem too desperate or needy.
Wait until the next day or just text him that you enjoyed the evening together. If you’re not sure whether or not it’s too soon to call him, then it’s probably best to wait a little bit longer. Don’t blindside him!
7. You suspect him of playing games
If you think he’s playing games with you, don’t call him. Two can play that game. A guy like that is not worth your time, and it’ll just lead to heartache for both of you.
There’s no point in trying to fix something that’s not going to work. You don’t need someone that immature by your side.
8. You’re drunk
If you’re drunk or your judgment is emotionally clouded, please don’t call him. You don’t want to make any rash decisions that you’ll later regret.
It’s best to just wait until the next day when you’re sober and can think more clearly. Then you can decide whether or not it’s a good idea to call him.
