Is it normal for a guy to give you his phone number right away after only one e-mail? Shouldn't he talk to you via e-mail more before expecting you to call him?

I would find it a little strange. However, kudos to him for giving you his number instead of asking you for yours (which would creep me out). That way you can call him when you decide you're ready. He shouldn't "expect" you or pressure you to call, though. That's not only creepy, it's cheap on his part. And remember, since he likely has caller-id, be careful that you don't give him your number before you're ready just by calling him on your home phone. It's possible that he just finds you very interesting and thinks that communicating by email is too impersonal. Or, he might not be a good typist. Or, he might just really want to hear your voice. However, I do suggest that you communicate by email a bit more before calling him. Don't call him before you are ready and be cautious if it seems like he is pressuring you.

No i dont think it's normal for a guy to give you his number after only one email... thats my personal opinion. If he really was interested in you he'd try to get to know you a little more through emailing then slowing getting to know you through phone conversations. I can tell you from personal experience i met my current boyfriend (of 5months) from the internet it took him a month before he gave me his number and a month before we met in person... now thats a guy thats trying to get "to know you" and not one that is desperate =) hope this helped

Most of the guys I have met online have been eager to send me their phone number. I think some people communicate better that way. I don't have a problem with it. If I don't feel comfortable I tell them I've made note of their number and would like to e-mail awhile longer.

I believe it to be normal for guys to send you their phone number. They want to know you are real and they want you to know they are real. I don't recommend home phone numbers, but your cell phone is safe until you are comfortable about your home and then i would still block it until you decide to meet. I would definitely continue IMing or e-mailing as sometimes it is easier for some to write than to speak, as you can control what you want to say if neither one are ready to expose info that is not necessary to talk about at that time. You also have more control of not being pressured if you keep talking via the internet.

maybe he really liked you and wanted to chat on the phone right away!

I have done a lot of internet dating. I have found that it is very normal for a man to give you his number right away only after on email. Why waste time? I prefer it that way. I'd much rather just talk to the man than email back and forth. I can learn do much more by talking than emailing.
