I met this girl online about 3 weeks ago and we haven't met face to face yet because she was sick but now has fully recovered. She sent a email yesterday saying-"are we still on for saturday?
Here is my problem
Since meeting online, 80% of our communication has been email and we only had 1 phone conversation that lasted about 15-20 mins because she had to make a run. So I have not been able to get a feel for her personality over the phone and just been mostly email. I feel kind of weird meeting someone who I have not had a chane to connect with over the phone.
So my question to the guys is would you still go on the date even though there has been very little phone talk?
I have no idea if the OP went on his date or not, and personally I don't really care having read teh most of this thread. He obviously doesn't care what advice people are giving him if the advice doesn't go coincide with his preconceptions towards dating & relationships. The ego is a powerful self-defense mechanism.
For those of you who are open to advice, I give you this tidbit about online dating:
Giving too much away over the phone, texts, and email leaves nothing to learn about in person. If anything you're doing yourself a favor by not pouring out your emotions and life's history ahead of time before actually building a connection. And make no mistake, no matter how good of a connection you think you have from talking online, it's all reset the moment you actually meet in person the first time.

First off, why would you entertain getting to know her over the phone? That's crazy to me. At least if you get to know her in person, you'll be able to see if she's for real or not. I never meet girls over the phone. My style is face to face conversation.

You have to know TVSG from his posts and threads to know that your post is actually pretty funny!
Oh Grasshopper, you're surely not using THAT excuse yet again? You're a student educational counsellor for crying out loud which is an in itself, you're not a bloody neurosurgeon.
The major stress you suffer from is not being able to get a date and has nothing to do with work and stress. Cheese and bread!
