Yes, call them tomorrow. You don't want to wait long (the longer the wait, the more the risk they lose whatever interest they may have had).

As for what to say, keep it short. Come up with something to do and ask them if they want to join you. "Wanna meet up at ___ for ___?" ...something along those lines (make it a public place - you don't know them yet). And be specific. Don't be indecisive. Once you set up a meeting/date - unless you're a really smooth phone talker - come up with an excuse to get off the phone ("oh my cat's on fire, gotta go").

If you start having "those thoughts" that we with SA so often get, think back: They gave you their numbers for a reason. Do you think they'd do that to someone they weren't at least SOMEWHAT interested in? At the very least they think you're interesting enough to say "yeah, I'll give this guy my number". Build from there.

IF they flake out on you, brush it off. Don't give them ANY indication it bothers you. Just "Oh, OK. Well, talk to you later." You can try again in a couple days if that happens, same deal: "wanna meet up at ___ for ___?"

Oh and you never answered a question asked earlier in this thread. How did this come up? What were you doing in the mall? Where did they come from? etc. More details!
