Hypothetical here......tell me what YOU would do. You mutual matched with someone local. They email saying they aren't good at typing but include their phone number saying they enjoy meeting new people and to call anytime. Remember, you know virtually nothing about this person, except for a few brief words on a profile. No, I would not call him. Plus.. it's too early and and fast... red flag right there. |

Block your number and call. Hell, for all you know he could be afraid that his "written skills" might scare you.
Honestly, I nearly sped right on past a really great guy because his written skills were less than good. But, after talking on the phone, I found that he's a great guy, good head on his shoulders, just sucks in the written word. Basically, I took a chance and I'm so very glad I jumped on in with both feet and called.

I feel ya'......however isn't that why a lot of us sit here day after day without making any actual dates? Red flags everywhere, deal breakers.....too this, too that. Sigh, I just get a lil' tired of seeing so many good people go dateless. My best friend called me the other night, somewhat excited because she had given out her number to a guy and they had talked a few times over the phone. Her sister practically ruined the excitement by saying "he called too soon, he's got to be desperate". WHAT? A man asks for a number and actually calls, how is that desperate? I dunno....safety is great and all, but you have to budge somewhere if you actually want to MEET people. |

I dunno....safety is great and all, but you have to budge somewhere if you actually want to MEET people. Well, you said he's local, so you can ask around about him. And like other people have suggested, just block your number. Sounds like you're interested in him, I hope it works out.

Just wanted to see what others would do in a similar situation.

I would NEVER call or ask someone to call, only after 1 e-mail! I'm just not that kind of a guy. We'd have to have at least the following before doing so: 27..... e-mails 16..... Smoke-Signals 34..... Western Union/Telegrams 17..... Tom-Toms Signals from high mountain top(distance depending)! 23..... Carrier Pigions 04..... Sky writings 73..... Instant messages (yahoo or other) Then, we might chat on the phone! Providing she is still around after all that! 
Ha ha.. you could negotiate too.. two pigs, three chickens.. 12 loincloth.. Hmmm, OK...I'll see your 2 pigs, and only 1 of your chickens...and raise your loincloths high enough to see your...Oops, getting off topic(sorry)...raise your loincloth by 6 terry cloths!
