Nothing weird about this. I almost never talked to people on the phone before a first meeting. People don't want to give out their numbers and there is no benefit.
When you have a totally rigid set of dating rules, they're set in stone and cannot be broken under any circumstances. It matters not how many people tell you over how many years that they're counter productive, that's IT!

Anyone who encounters women, who say they have strict dating rules is making that woman uncomfortable enough, that she needs to list them. Rules need to be stated, because someone is pushing it. It's really not a mystery, if you want to give out your number, then do it. There is no reason to ask for hers, because you will know when she is ready, she'll call with her number unblocked.
It's OLD, of course women are going to be cautious. If you don't like rules, then just move on. If she is someone who is worth it, comply. It's smarter to allow her to control when the two talk. Allowing her to have that control, will help her get comfortable with you.
To find a good looking friend to do things with like
1. shopping
2. going to the movies
3. going to dinner
4. cuddling/kissing
5. talking on the phone
And see how things progress over time that MAY lead to a serious situation
That's not what DATING sites are for. And who cuddles and kisses a friend? It sounds like this is your approach so you can ask her to drive you around and avoid paying for dinner.

The point appears to have been entirely missed. It is the OP who has the rules and the number of them increases every year. There should be an app he provides to anyone he's even thinking of dating - given with a couple of months lead time as there are so many, even down to the proper footwear to be worn on the first meet.

The footwear was a funny thread.....let's face it....the OP and his rules serve one purpose...to make sure he never has a positive experience do he can continue blame others for his issues.
Women take precautions, because men have created well deserved concerns.
This is worth repeating. So much of the ire I see here by guys directed at women, are really issues that they should be taking up with the rest of their gender that behave in such a way that a woman needs to be extra cautious.
