So about a year ago I was at this church event with my family, and they noticed this guy was super into me. He was super cute, good job, and he even knew my friend and came up to her while I was sitting and talked to her but she didn't introduce us. About a year later, I saw him again at another church party I was with my family at and again my family noticed he kept looking at me and I definitely noticed it too. I noticed him keep talking to some guy at our table and looking at us, then after a while the guy brought him over and introduced us and it turned out we were in similar fields so we talked a bit about that. He already knew what I did without even me saying it so clearly he asked me and my family was right there and he was super confident talking to all of us. I'm really shy so I kind of felt flustered and after talking for a bit he legit told me to take his number and to call him if I had any questions and that we will hang out, and I awkwardly said bye and felt stupid about that lol and my annoying family was making things awkward too by not playing it cool at all even though I was. This was a little more than a month ago, and I sat on his number confused as to what to do with it because 1) I am shy and I hate calling people I don't know and 2) I felt like I was being awkward when he talked to me and figured he probably lost interest by now anyway and 3) I legitimately didn't have any questions to ask him and was confused why he said that when I never asked for career advice or his number lol. Usually, guys chase after me and don't play it that cool so I am not sure why but maybe he was just trying to be respectful in front of my family.

Recently I came across him on fb and remembered this interaction and I talked to my friends about how I never called him because calling just seems weird and awkward and i'll never in 1000 years call someone I don't know, and they convinced me to make up some random question and just text him instead if thats what I feel more comfortable doing. I thought of one question thats a little time-sensitive that could explain the fact that I waited for so long but i'm not sure if if I should pull the trigger or not after a month and after being so flustered the first time he talked to me. Idk usually guys so desperately chase after me that I 100% feel I can do no wrong but this guy feels a little more challenging so i'm hesitant to look like an idiot esp when we are in the same church community. I know theres an event next month that I probably will see him at too I could wait for as well and gague his reaction. What should I do? I'm so freaking inexperienced and it sucks because I never know what to do with guys I actually am interested in I know I am going to mess this up.
