You've had the same mobile number for 9 years? Must be a record!
I've had the same mobile number for 22 years apart from somewhere down the line they added the 7 after the first 0Back on Topic,
My uncle had this happen to him, his son is now 22 , the he walked away from the mother on his 16th birthday to move in with his dad( my uncle ) as the mother was an absolute nutter. so this may be the beginning of a real relationship with your son. you've got nothing to loose and a son to gain, get on with the call

An emails not really the way to go with this tbh... It's not really personal enough iyswim
Write down some things you want to talk about, (football, school, hobbies etc) but don't go through them like a list.. Just try and learn a little, but give plenty of info back.
If you can, have a pen and paper handy to jot down some of the things he says. You might do it on the call, but if not write down what you can remember after it, it'll come in handy in the future.
Good luck with everything, hope it works out for you both

If you're worried about a phone call. How about writing him a letter? Tell him about yourself and your life, maybe send a picture. He can then decide if he wants to speak or maybe just write a letter back. It's certainly more personal than an e-mail and less nerve racking for both of you.

The child clearly wants to meet his father (or the man he thinks is his father).First off someone needs to start another thread for mobile phone no owning lengths.
Right on this one,
Few points at 10 I'd be worried he's still too young to understand and if his mums a bit nutty could it mess him up.
If your not 100% sure hes yours I'd arrange to meet with the mum first and discuss this no point in going into it half hearted
Lastly go for it, after all what's the point in life, Things such as cars we all bang on about are just stuff.
