My first post to you, but I have been following your thread- lurking!
IMHO, I would not call at midnight to say Happy New Year, but let him make the move and do the calling. If you don't call, he might start wondering why not, and his curiosity will be raised. Draw back and give him space to come to you.

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart. And you'll never walk alone.
