Why is it that some of you ladies will not give us guys your phone number until we have emailed each other numerous times ? I myself am a better talker than typer....I peck on the keyboard like a chicken and very slow at it. And why does a lot of the first dates have to be over a plate of food? I was taught to not talk with your mouth full. There's plenty of other ways to get to know each other....example: go to a bar where there is a live band, dance and have a good time, meet at a park and go for a walk,go somewhere and watch the sunset,or simply set at yours or his house and talk, go bowling, a walk on the beach. Can I get some honest answers???

You can more easily block email than block phone calls. The phone is online 24/7. The computer is not.

i was just talking about this the other day isnt giving your phone # the old fashion way to communicate. If you met in the market, the park, the laundry mat, walmart or an auto parts and u wanted to hook up you would have to give your # how else would you get to invite the other one to dinner or a walk or have a coffee and talk. i give my number alot right away and if it turns out to be a bad idea i just dont answer and delete them.

I do believe you have a good point about the first date not being going out to dinner. Maybe a lot of people can't think of anything else but go out to dinner and think it's easier to get rid of somebody right after if need be? But you do have some great ideas for a first date and i'm taking notes. 
I myself often find myself lost for words on the phone if i have not communicated with somebody long enough on the internet.

I want to know what a man is about before I give him my phone number. Why do guys give out their number in the first email before even speaking to me??? Is that not shallow?

I agree with dancing. I like the get togethers we have so you can not only talk but meet face to face. Im with you on doing something besides dinner too. Walking and talking is one of my fav's.

I believe people are afraid of someone calling them after they realize there was no connection.
Out of respect, I rather a tele to converse. Words can be typed in any manor but the truest comes through voice.

To me I feel it is better emailing the first few times. Because if there is no interest we just stop talking. First dates I would not suggest noisy places how are you going to sit there getting to know each other with out shouting. A park is nice a walk is nice while watching the sunset. And now why would you invite someone over to your place and vise versa when you haven't even met? Not the smartest choice. The first meeting should always be in a public place for numerous safety issues. I like meeting for coffee then go from there.

Some guys are genuine and for them waiting to talk on the phone is crazy...
What we genuine guys have to realize is that world is different for women (and for those wanting to throw the gender card - Tough, it's true).
Whether we would like to admit it or not, there is a certain amount of comfort required before a lady feels safe. That's their perogative.
Let them get there....show them you care about their safty...

I have 3 phones (each with 2 lines) going off all day long. Most of those calls have very little to do with the things I need to get done for the day. They just create more urgent work to distract me from the things I'm trying to accomplish.  (go figure) When I get home, I don't really want to talk on the phone. I also type 60-80 wpm, depending on my mood, so typing works well for me. And, like others have pointed out, it's a lot easier to use the internet to screen people until you're sure they are someone you really want to give your number to.
