Surely there would be more anxiety from " going in blind " and meeting someone you've never met before?
Can't see how a phone call causes more anxiety?
Thank you
Actually no. I prefer to get to know someone online first, then just meet. I just can't stand talking on the phone. And perhaps that's the case with the woman the OP is referring to

I'm not disputing your preference and it's fine
But obviously as I'm the complete opposite and wouldn't meet unless a phone call or 2 has occurred beforehand I think differently.
Say after you meet someone online.... got to know them as well as you possibly can online....... whats the difference between a call and in person in terms of anxiety?

Idk. I just get anxious over phone calls. It's put a few people off, but it is what it is. I would rather just message until we've actually met. Besides, I don't like giving out my nimbler. What if he's a stalker or something?
Some people just hate talking on the phone and I bet this is the case here.

A stalker...... and it's safer to meet in person? lol.
No but seriously it is what it is as you said and as it's your preference that's completely fine , but I'm glad you have acknowledged the fact that it would be off putting to some

I agree that's the case in the thread
Of course. And it has put some off meeting me.
And I only meet in public places, so yeah it's safer. Worst case scenario I can do a runner and block him on OKC lol :P

I completely understand how the phone can be more anxiety producing than face to face. I was a little bit this way (but not enough to ever create any rules about it) until I had a job where I was on the phone a lot and I got over it for the most part.
Still, I feel more at ease when talking to someone (especially someone I have never met) when I can make eye contact, and I can see your smile (or lack thereof), and read your body language, etc. I can immediately tell if you "get me" just by your facial expressions. Much harder to do that over the phone, so in some cases phone conversations with people I don't know can feel stilted, forced, and be a lot less engaging.
She was waiting for you to kiss her, or to walk her to her car, as others have said here. First goodbyes can be kindof awkward.
And I've certainly offered - or been offered - a drive home after a first date if he/I lived close by. Doesn't mean it's an invitation for a sleep over ... just a nice thing to do.
