…calling/texting someone that you’ve ‘met’ online?

I’m not a stranger to internet dating and I consider myself to be a generally confident/outgoing person but I still get nervous about calling/texting someone who mails me their number.

Am I on an island on my own or it it populated?

That is your self-preservation instinct kicking in and should not easily be dismissed.

I am cool with yapping with anyone...now, I get nervous and giddy when I fly out to the coast to be with my woman. But, that is just cause I am sooo freaking excited.

I think that you've hit the nail on the head..I think it is self preservation.

I can talk to the world and his wife without getting nervous but as soon as someone expresses an interest in me, that's when the nerves kick in. They (the nerves), don't last long but they are noticeable.

I'm normally fine once I get past the initial call/text.

Being the semi control freak that I am, I always text to ask when would be a good time to call so no voicemail. :smile:

I'm cool giving out my mobile. I've been quite lucky so far and I haven't been pestered...that's not entirely true. I only had one 'pest' but I didn't mind him - kept hoping he'd realise that he met the woman of his dreams frustrated. I never give out my landline.
