I require a brief telephone chat before meeting any new friend. Why?That's a good policy.
For the exact reason you've mentioned. One can glean a lot of insight by hearing a voice, at least sometimes. I feel it's the icing on the cake, in terms of screening.
It's rarely happened, but it has happened, that I've decided my potential new guy and I wouldn't be a good match by that phone call.
I would think my philosophy could certainly work the other way around.
Good topic.

... I am a lover more than anything, so to me fourplay begins from the very start, from your voice.so, a freudian slip, predictive text, or fat finger typing [this is a generic phrase, not a comment on your fingers, melannie].
True fact.. you can get my panties wet just by the tone of your voice.. just imagine what can happen BSD. ... Originally Posted by melannie_star

Once, a little Dallas star that I'd never seen came up my way and I called the minute I saw her ad. After five rings, she answered and literally SCREAMED in the phone, "YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT!"
