I am currently in the open communication with a guy and we really seem to be hitting it off. Today in his email he said he'd love to meet me and welcomed me to give him a call or text him. I tend to be more old fashioned and prefer that guys call first. That could also just be because I'm intimidated. Either way, should I call immediately or should I continue emailing? We won't be able to meet for a while since we are both going to be going out of town at different times. What to do what to do?

Have you emailed him back your number yet? If he has your number and he's interested, I'd think he'd call or at least initiate a text.

H'mmm what to do! Such a nice dilemma to have, eh?

I'd interpret what you said he said as meaning "I would like to meet you, please call so we can set something up" ... which kind of amounts to him "making the first call", don't you think? I'd call him. If you want to meet.

Can you at least set up a quick (

Is this a serious question?

Call him or give him your number. What other options are there, beyond doing nothing?

I wanted to email him back my number, but wasn't sure if it would be taken as "no way am I calling you!" Just trying to be careful I suppose

Would there be any problem with e-mailing him your number with a note that playfully suggests you're an old-fashioned girl who likes the boy to call first? Keep it light and fun.

If you don't want to call first, then just email him back and say, "OK. If you want to call me too, my number is [phone number]." Me, personally, I don't get offended if the girl would rather I make the first move. After all, it's kind of an old fashioned rule that the man calls the woman first. But certainly not always the case.

I kinda have that old fashioned thinking in my head still too. But I signed up to EH and decided I had better use the darned thing. Throw out that old thinking and call him.
Or you can honestly tell him you would like to meet but would prefer he called you. Give him your number and tell him a good time.
The men will give you their number because they dont want to ask for yours out of respect and security.
