if you got a girls # a long time ago, say 5 months ago, and you said you would call but never did for whatever reason is it a good idea to try calling them now? does that ever work??

For social reasons I'd have to say "no."
Unless you were in a coma and just awoke from it, I don't think any other reason would be sufficient as to why you're just getting around to calling her now. It sends the message: "I wasn't serious about you... I just got done with (however many other women) .. and now I'm getting around to you."
I'd say you blew your chance, and unless you run into her again and she's amiable to even giving you her number again (even though you didn't lose it), I'd say you lost your chance.
Although I don't condone lying and since you may have awoke this morning and finally came to your senses (wondering why you ever waited so long to call in the first place) you could always call her and say that you had lost the number and you just found it. That may work....unless you put her number in your cell when you met her and IN front of her.

When I was in college, I got a girl's number at a club. She was cute, I had every intention of calling her but I lost the little scrap of paper she wrote it on. Months later I found it while cleaning out my car. On impulse I called and we arranged a date for that Friday. It turned out to be a very successful one-nighter, which was odd. Wait for months, finally call, engage in all sorts of very progressive sex for an evening, never see or talk to eachother again. I loved college.
Bottom line, why not call? What's she gonna do, not go out with you? You have nothing to lose.
I did that once and called the person about four weeks later and he was not happy. I did it because I was on and off again with someone and even though I took the guys number, I realized the next day I wasn't in a position to date a new person. I agree with Rathagoes.
You could try but be prepared for a not so happy person on the other end.
Could you say you put her number in a pocket of a jacket you had on last fall/winter and you were taking it to the cleaners to take advantage of their "dry clean your winter clothes" special. When cleaning out the pocket you found her number??? Of course, this would be a lie. And if you inputted her number into your cellphone, it wouldn't work, but I can't see any other way to make it ok. Good luck! Why didn't you call back then???
If it's in your phone, say you lost your phone and just found it in (insert something). If it's on a piece of paper, say you lost it and found it in (insert something). It works, have fun.
