Sommerauer71: I have been inspired, which is usually dangerous.
If you chat to a person via email, here and you want to progress to the next stage of conversation, would you give your phone number out?
YOu see, I do, because I like conversation, with a person I would like to get to know better.
I ask this, because some people are reserved about giving out details, if a person is loathe to give out phone numbers, then I do not take them seriously and cut contact.
I am an oddball like that, but why waste time and not move it forward to the next level?
Thoughts please....
Talk is cheap, just get over here and put on a teddy and we will be good to go!!
You can know someone just so much thru type, You need to hear the voice, and you say more when you speak rather then type. so not so much is getting left out. I met someone on CS, we emailed and sent IM's and it was nice. But we exchanged numbers and now we talk on the phone at least twice a day sometimes more. and we talk for hours and more hours. And I really was never the kind who liked to stay on the phone for very long. and I look forward to it now. we would have never got to that point if we did not give each other our number. Another 2 months and he is comming to see me! three cheers for the wonderful invention called the phone!

I agree wholeheartedly. There is so much more you can decipher by phone. Reactions and interactions especially.

People reach their own comfort levels at different times. I would think it more important if they weren't finding time to spend with you, either online or whatever. Pressing the issues of the 'next step' be it phones or meeting; is a comfort level for people, as opposed to the committment of applying the time it takes get to know each other.
So, it would be more important to me if they weren't finding the time it takes to get to know someone, than insisting that the we move to the next comfort level.
Of course there are time limits I guess and you haven't supplied times to the OP.. one 40 minute chat = move to phones?? how much time are we atlking here?

Yes, there are levels of comfort that we all have, my comfort is hearing a voice.
I will become increasingly bored after many emails, if I am interested in a person, I want to talk to them, if they are not happy with that then it is bye.
I am a bullet pointer, rather than type, at different times of the day, as one nice chap did, he stated here is my number, call me when you can and I thought that was nice, no pressure, he had left it up to me, this was after a couple of weeks.
I see that as being courteous and kind, he is not asking for mine, he is leaving it to me, making it clear that he would like to talk to me.
I am not talking time limits, I am talking about progression, people are different, this is about what I want, if a person wants to talk online for a time then that is ok, whether I want to continue that without having a conversation is my choice. If I say bye then I am not interested in them, if they refuse, then I will ask why, if I feel happy with the answer then I will continue, but my theory is that men who are assertive and know what they want will want to have a conversation.

all sounds taurus in venus-ie ..
of course you realise too that theory is conjecture, not fact
Writing, calling etc-----what difference dose it make....you can write and talk till the cows come home....but until you meet face to face and spend time with each other and I mean quality time.....you have no idea what sort of a person you are dealing with......

If a person does not want to have a conversation then they are not for me.
I like to keep my life simple.
That is exactly how I think.
Nothing odd about it.
Life is too short to be entertaining players and time wasters.
