You could just play it coy and respond with "hey now! I made sure you got my number. It's your turn."
Or some such.
Be lighthearted about it. He may think he's just playing it cool, but he's inadvertently putting you in a position to have to make all the moves here at first.
Or... You could call him and tease him playfully by telling him you think he's trying to make you do all the work.
He may not realize that's what he's done.
Either way, don't get hung up on who is calling who.

Sorry Tejal_2014, but he's not interested in you. You initiated, gave him the green light, and he chose not to pursue you. Don't call him. Forget about him.
That is simply not true. Guys respond to women they're interested in in various ways depending on the woman and what he thinks of himself. I've had women give me their phone number that I was interested in, yet never called. Sometimes when a girl gives a guy a phone number, it isn't enough. Especially if the guy finds her really attractive and is unsure whether or not it's just a friendly "here's my number so you have it", or something else.
Texting him is not chasing him. So, if you're interested tell him. Make it simple and plain. Guys are not good at picking up subtle signals from women.
I would just give him another chance and reach out and set up something. This might be going outside your comfort zone by taking this much initiative but at least you can say you tried everything. And your worries aren't completely unfounded. Perhaps he needs a lot of encouragement or perhaps he is permanently shy and never takes initiative. If it's the second alternative, you won't like him in the long run anyway.

Some women are comfortable taking the lead in relationships and that often works out, especially with passive men. But the OP is looking for a more traditional courtship and there is nothing wrong with that. Different strokes. From what she has posted, I don't think this particular man is going to make her happy, even if she does continue to pursue it and they eventually date. I think she went out of her way to gave him a chance and he is too passive (or lazy or uninterested) to make it happen.
