I keep reading posts on the pros and cons of IM. A hundred years ago people used the teletype. Many still are, it's just a little faster (IM) Why are so many afraid of the telephone ? It adds that extra dimension and can cut through the BS in seconds. If you have an unlistd #, I can understand. If your in the book, anyone can dial your #. Anonymity is a thing of the past. Are we using 21st century technology with a 19th century point of view ? Is it fear. If I gave you my full name, you could Google my complete address and phone # in less than a minute. So there goes
anonymity. Paws

Maybe someday we'll talk. I believe in the power of the human voice. It's inflections, intonations etc., says so much about a person. Paws

Man I would give anything to have a $300 phone bill if it was for talking with potential partners that I had first met in email.

In fact, I'd give anything just to have an email conversation that actually lead up to wanting to progress to the telephone!!!

So far, every women that I've progress to the telephone with I have also met in person and spent some quality time with.

Don't take that the wrong way. I VERY SELDOM progress to the telephone! In fact, I very seldom get a response from an email!

Yep, if I was talking to $300 worth of women on the phone I'd be married already. :o)

I bought a $20 phone card and there it sits UNUSED!
