Will my lack of confidence with chatting on the phone affect a future relationship with this man?

Question - (8 May 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 8 May 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have recently begun dating a lovely man, who I really like, and get along with well.

We have only be on two dates, which were fantastic, and have plans for more.

My question is about communication - we text/email and IM every day, but rarely actually "call" each other. I have never been totally comfortable with spending hours on the phone, so I am not used to just picking up the phone and calling someone. Do you think this is bad? Will my lack of confidence with chatting on the phone affect a future relationship with this man, if he thinks I do not like talking to him? I really like him a lot, and I do not want to wreck something with my stupid insecurities!

Any advice would be great!

I dont like talking on the phone as such, but thats not really the issue - the question I have is that neither of us calls the other. When we are together in person we can chat for hours on end. We just communicate via other methods ie. text/email IM when we are not together, Is this bad?

kellyxxx agony auntWhen I first started going out with my boyfriend he would phone me and as soon as I saw his name on the screen my mouth would become dry, my heart would beat really fast, my stomach would churn because of the butterflies and I would get really hot,lol. I was terrifies of speaking on the phone but its just something that you have to do, if you feel as if you really can't do it then just explain to him that you hate speaking on the phone and its not that you aren't interested, he'll be fine with it! Xx I would highly recomend just conquering the fear though! X
