Oh, yes, but - OP - don't be discouraged if she doesn't want to talk on the phone. First, I almost never give my number out to men, even if we've been on a date. My own family barely have my phone number. I hate talking on the phone, unless you're my mother or my sister and I'm required by blood to do so, and talking on the phone is not a good representation of who I am. And even if I did give a man my number, and he did call, I almost never pick it up - and I almost always have the ringer off. So..though it's certainly a logical step, don't be discouraged if she wants to skip that step. And finally, refraining from giving out your phone number is part of the unofficial girl's guide to internet safety. Using a first name, a phone number, and a town, one can find out a lot about a person on the internet. It's just not something I'm willing to give out so easily, these days.
yeah, many times the guy would ask if i wanted to talk on the phone first and i said no, lets just meet. Even on the phone you can miss so much, since you cant see facial expressions and all.. and people can sound different on the phone, both in their manner and also how their voice sounds.
But i had a spare disposable cell just for this purpose (never gave out my real number, just this cell number), just the cheapest one and pay as you go for like $10/m. I would give that number out when we set a meeting so if the guy was running behind or something came up and he couldnt make it, he could still get a hold of me.. and i did appreciate if he gave me his too, just in case i needed to call him (but i didnt insist on having his).
