Networking Question - Giving a call?

Hi guys. Quick networking question. I met a banker the other day at a bar after work hours (happy hour). I'm currently an intern at another bank. When he left her gave me his business card. Pretty good meeting we had. Emailed him a couple days later saying hey it was good to meet, blah blah .. No reply from him. Should I give him a call in a week or so what should I do? Don't want to come off as needy or annoying.

I would say no. If he responds, great. If he doesn't, leave it be. Responding too quickly is not a good thing (it's like meeting someone and then getting a facebook request from them an hour later). A bit creepy. Give it a month or two or reach out whenever you actually need this person's help.. At that time, he'll be more than happy to reconnect with you.
