I am a new member to EH, and I started to communicate with this guy for about a week. I really would like to talk to him on the phone. Is it too early for phone communication? should I wait until he ask to call me??

what should I do???

I think the girl should initiate the phone number thing. My current GF who I did meet on eH go back and forth on the subject. She gave me her # first but I gave my email address? I figured that I would let her decide when the right time to talk was and phone #'s are much more personal than email addresses as well. I will say that I was flattered and very happy when she did give me the #!

Send him your number- if he's interested, he'll call.

It's really that simple.

Nope.. it's never too early! The goal is to meet people. Not to become pen-pals. If you would like to kick it up a notch, Let him know.

The final nail in the gender-roles coffin came during Pearl Harbour.

Call who you want, when you want, because you want.

It is fine to give your number to a man (which is a signal for him to call), or to ask him for his. Men understand that many women prefer to call, so they can first block their "call ID" from showing on his phone - so it is fine to do it this way.

If you wish a man to call, just give him your number and ask him to call; most will be fine with this.

I think it's great that you want to have a chat on the phone - that's the most important part here - but may I recommend something other than secure call. Two cans and a string. Maybe get his number if that's more comfortable for you at the start.

My experience with this feature was poor. Setting it up took days and we got cut-off multiple times during the call. I'll not likely try this again.

Take some initiative and push forward rather than just sitting back and hoping something will happen for you.
