First take a deep breath, he's probably just as nervous as you are now. You should email (or text) to find convenient time to talk. Try and keep it short if you can (some guys are actually phone people and will carry on a long conversation ) and maybe suggest coffee or a drink as a way to end the call if you are interested in meeting in person. Or you can send him your phone number and let him initiate the call.
I can't say nervous describes it. I am not nervous. I just feel it is creepy and strange to call someone I don't know at all in this context.

If I knew him, I wouldn't hesitate to call. It's not as if I've never asked someone out before ...

We all talk to random strangers and it is a little odd talking to one by phone, but hopefully you've learned enough through email to relieve the creepiness factor. Good luck!
