WHAT'S INSIDE:  So you've been talking to a man for a short time
when he gives you his phone number out of the blue.  Should you
just call him or what?

GIVING YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO MEN ONLINE?


Hello Emily:

I have been trying online dating out for the last two weeks and
it's been great!

But there's one thing that I've stumbled on and that I have not
heard you mention in any of your material. It's the fact that men
keep giving me their number, even if I haven't asked for it instead
of asking for mine.

What does this mean?

Hello Marie, and thanks so much for writing.

The simple answer to your question is that when men give you their
number, they're most definitely intrigued by you enough to want to
take their interaction with you to the next level.

This is a good thing, of course!

Nevertheless, I can see how it would be a bit unnerving to be
chatting back and forth via e-mail on Match.com (or on Facebook or
Twitter, for that matter) only to have him imply that you should
call him out of the blue.

After all, you don't even really know him yet.

And wait a minute...shouldn't a gentleman take the initiative to
call YOU first?

Well, even with all of that in mind, please don't draw any hasty
conclusions when that happens...especially negative ones.

After all, there are some truly great guys out there who mean well,
even if in being true to their guy nature they don't fully grasp
how many of us as gals still value leadership initiative in a man.

In addition, often times the strategy actually pays off.  You might
be surprised by how many women these days will gladly pick up the
phone and dial.

After all, as long as you're on a mobile phone and not transmitting
your GPS location, it's all but impossible for anyone to compromise
your personal security (i.e. find out your address, your exact
whereabouts, etc.)

Now that said, I'm completely on board with the fact that a man who
truly "gets it" would exchange a couple of e-mails with you before
perhaps saying something similar to this:

  "I'm enjoying our conversation, but it's time for us to hear each
   others' voices.  I realize that a gentleman should take the
   initiative of calling the lady, so if you'll give me your phone
   number and a time when you're available I'd like to call you."

And sure enough, he may include his phone number also.  But a
little elaboration sure goes a long way, right?

But the real-world truth about online dating is that both men and
women who know the ropes can find themselves with PLENTY of
options.  This means that they're less likely to spend any more
time than they need to in moving interactions along.

Sooner than later, you'll realize like others who have been online
for a bit longer than you've been that typing back and forth for
days or weeks can be a REAL drain on your free time.

On top of that, the longer you go before moving to the phone and
then to the actual face-to-face meeting the more any potential
disappointment is going to really hurt.

As such, lots of perfectly decent folks online--men AND women
alike--tend to be rather frank about wanting to go from e-mail to
phone very quickly, and to the first meeting shortly afterward.

In fact, I actually wholeheartedly recommend moving things along
quickly.

So definitely don't automatically assume that a man who drops his
phone number on you quickly is being pushy or presumptuous. 

He may be a good guy--just one who has met some women who
turned out to be different in real life than they seemed online.


Have Fun,

Emily McKay


P.S.  Are you interested in "knowing the ropes" a little faster
yourself when it comes to online dating? 

I'm guessing you do.  After all, the biggest difference between
those who report an EXCITING and FUN overall experience with online
dating and those who are utterly frustrated by it is simply this:
