I was in a situation like that. My guy went home to NYC for a couple months, and he was afraid to call my house phone (don't want the cellphone bill to go up to high) He has been around my family a lot, but he was still shy. He got over it though. Funny thing is, I was also shy to call his home phone or his brothers cellphone, I was afraid of his family picking up. I wouldn't worry about it!!
