I feel like we need to take the next step (i.e., phone calls and/or meet) but how do I initiate this?

Question - (11 November 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 11 November 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I was referred to a paid online dating site by a close friend and have met someone that I am very interested in...he's charming, funny, well-educated, etc.

Because I am knew to the online dating scene, I have a couple of questions. I am hoping I am just over-analyzing the situation.

*Since 'meeting' less than 2 weeks ago, we have exchanged 30+ emails. (Most are short, 3-4 sentences.) He has yet to ask for my phone number. I feel like we need to take the next step (i.e., phone calls and/or meet) but am not sure how to initiate this. I don't want to get emotionally involved without figuring out if there is real chemistry.

*I have no picture included with my profile because I work in the criminal justice field - he has not asked one question about what I look like or if I could provide pictures. (Yet, he has several pictures on his profile.) Is this alarming or unusual?

Thanks in advance!

I think the next step would be for you to send him a picture. He may not want to appear shallow and ask for it, but I am sure he is curious as to what you look like. If you are sending it to him, no one else will see it.
