I have gone thru the question pretty quickly with two matches in about 4-5 days. (usually it takes weeks or sometimes 1 month to get thru all the questions.)
Anyway, if the guy gives me his phone number...and if I feel comfortable enough I just say here's my number ----- and then tell him I will be home after work around 6pm...or whatever time.
I think most guys want to get to the phone and meet IN PERSON because really email is slow and it's still difficult to know if there's any chemistry or anything else there.
I tend to feel this way too. I really don't like emailing back and forth for days or weeks. I prefer the call...chat shortly on the phone...then if he says well do you want to meet...and then meet at some location 1/2 way between the two of us and make sure to tell a friend or two when and where you are going and be sure to be cautious.
I am always cautious! I would meet them at night but also be sure to have your cell with you and if you are worried about safety tell your friend to call and check on you after an hour or something.
Also...you could give your friend his phone number and any other information just in case something ever happened. (i always tell friends or family....if anything happens to me...check my laptop..all communication is on eharmony or my emails...and i tell them to get authorities to check into it if they cannot figure it out.
People always be SAFE!!! And go to a well lit place. And...be sure to NOT leave the restaurant or parking lot if you are scared of the person...if they are a psycho...then excuse yourself..go to the bathroom and tell some waiter or someone to help you.
I am saying all the above...cause in todays world we all have to be careful !! ;-)
