Disagree. Phone call after getting a number shows confidence and puts the girl on the spot so it's almost a given you will get a date out of it.
Not that I'm a saint in this regard but I've made a conscious decision to text less.

There's the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way.
She wants a relationship without any of the responsibility.
Keep trying to detach, if she keeps behaving like this, tell her flat out its all or nothing.
Rather than derailing the Tinder thread my updates as a newly single guy will go in this thread instead.
*Met up with the Ukranian girl who offered to help me move house last night for a couple of beers, she's a pretty funny person and gorgeous to boot.
*Inviting a Polish friend around tomorrow night for dinner to celebrate moving in. She's made it pretty clear she's dtf.
*Met up with Canadian girl from Tinder and went for hot chocolate. She's pretty chill, very study focused. Will see how it goes.
*Meeting up with a different Polish girl from Tinder tonight for a beer.
*Off to a nearby city this weekend to see a Turkish friend who recently moved to Poland. We've done the deed the last couple of times we've met up but I'm thinking I'd rather not this time.
In a nutshell it's probably too much at this point but it will filter out over the next couple of weeks.

Girl who I've know for a couple of years. Seemed keen at one stage, then not. She's friends with a few guys I'm reasonable friends with, really good friends with one who is a top bloke. Anyway she seems keen again. Bad idea? I'm thinking so.
Why is it a bad idea? What's the downside?
I suppose having to continually see her if I'm reading it wrong/or things don't end too well. I suppose usually when I met some girl it's some random I meet during a night out or out and about. Not someone with a large group of mutual friends.
Might just be a gut feeling/overthinking.
Massive over thinking, I do it all the time.
Go for it, worst case, nothing happens.

Agreed. Just do it. Unless you treat her like a piece of s**t afterwards, those guys probably won't care.

If you're this hesitant about it and you're overthinking it so much and need reassurance on an internet forum do you really think you'll have the confidence to pull it off when the heat is on?
Haha. I ain't that bad. She is a friend as well. Not usually how I do it. I don't bother with people at the workplace, friends of good friends usually as I can't be bothered with the hassle. Causing problems with work/causing problems with friends. But I guess I've never really had anyone interesting in that situation anyway. So I'll see what happens.

Same here. Can't stand any phone, at least the voice calling part of it. It borders on a phobia with me for some reason and causes my anxiety to ramp up. I can handle it with people I know well after some time but never actually like it.
For that reason, at least in the early stages, I've never asked for a number. If if a girl has instead asked me, I would suddenly feel very awkward and find almost any excuse to seek an alternative method. Thankfully these days with things like FB or Kik messenger etc you have plenty of alternatives. I know that sounds pretty ****ed up, but this is the way some people are.
I've always hated talking on the phone. Even if I have to call the bank or insurance or something I would instead physically go to the place and speak to someone face to face instead. Only when I have no choice do I make a phone call.

I completely and utterly agree with you, 100%. I feel your pain T2B.
Worst job ever at work when my coordinator (not often luckily) gives me a massive list of parents to ring up. ****en hate it.

If I know the person well, I'm fine with talking on the phone.
Calling clients/colleagues/bosses sometimes gets me concerned because I can't see their body language or exert any body language myself. It can get a little awkward at times, especially if they have a monotone, where I then have to bring my tone down to their tone and all I'm left with is a monotonous conversation with some dry 60 year old dickhead who has less of an idea of IPO law than the girl who gives me my bagel with cream cheese at Argos.

avoid phone reviews like the plague for financial planning.
Long distance relationships are the pits!!
Just got dumped on skype, cheated on me with a co workers son (who used her and dumped her, then bagged her out to another co worker).
Being broken hearted sucks
