I am shy at first, so I like to use emails until I feel more comfortable in knowing the person and then I will use the phone.

I have had asses call me late at night and early in the morning. My phones are used for business purposes so I do not readily give them out. Forget it. Not even looking at the danger of someone stalking you or just waiting til you leave to rob you. I know people that have had stalkers. I have learned the easy way how not to get hurt. I have been attacked in real life from someone that saw me and tracked me down.
You will pass all tests before you even get my personal email. It is pretty easy to get personal info on how to track people from their phones AND their emails. Men AND women do not get personal info til I know they are alright and if they do not like it, they are just not friend or relationship material for me. I do not care. There are millions of people out there. The ones I want to actually meet WILL respect my feelings and my timing. All the rest can go chase those people that are suited to them.
I am not going to be a statistic. This chicky is NO LONGER a victim waiting for a place to happen. I give that job to whoever wants it and you are welcome to it! Spout all your reasons and excuses for what you are going to do and go on ahead and do it. Don't expect me to feel sorry for you later. I am sure not gonna give a flip.

Talking on the phone should be the natural next step after emailing and chatting for awhile. It's a red flag for me if they don't want to talk on the phone, or they only talk on the weekdays.

I think that is easy to say unless you have experienced some of the scary, crazy people we women may have experienced. Think about it, we are single women without men in our homes to protect us. We have to be cautious, and unfortunately experience forces us to be cautious.

Well, I think we can all agree on one thing, and that's to disagree! 
There are enough people on this site and many others to find people that feel the same way you do, so don't let it get you down or discouraged. It's just people's own personal weeding process. If we were all exactly the same, had the same ideas, and same views then it would be a boring life indeed.
Maybe if a group of people here notice they are from the same area, they can do a "meet up" type thing. That would facilitate the "getting to know you" process and the possible number exchange.
Who knows? I think we're all just here for fun, and if giving out a # makes you feel uncomfortable, then it's no longer fun. 
Hope you all have a great day - off to work for me

The people who 'live' online are uncomfortable with anything that's actually real.
Phone calls are too real for them.

I don't mind giving out my phone number. If you turn into a stalker, I can block you!

Maybe they can glance in on things at work and do this there, but phone calls DON'T work in that setting. Maybe that is where "THEIR" computer is.
Maybe they are very uncomfortable talking on phones. Maybe they are not articulate and typing is a way they can take the time and get right (bless spellcheck, too!) what they want to say and how they want to say it.
Maybe they are uncomfortable with who they are, how they look or the sensation of too much crowding or being stalked.
Lots of reasons, but until you switch from here to a phone, and meet, you don't know who that person really is!

Too much can be misconstrued by just reading..you get, in my opinion, a better sense of who you are chatting with by having phone discussions. And WHEN is important as well...can they only talk during the day? And never on weekends? Might have a player on your hands..yeah, I prefer to talk on the phone and have no problems at all sharing my number with someone who interests me enough to actually want to talk to.
