A friend of mine thinks I would make a good match with her friend. She talks to the friend, presumably shares a photo of me where I'm not completely hideous, and she provided her phone number to be shared with me.
I get that you're "supposed to call," but what the hell would I say to the girl? I know literally nothing about her besides her name, and I feel like it would just be an awkward conversation.
I'm not self-conscious or nervous about it. I'm comfortable on the phone, but I wonder how comfortable she would be.. and then if she doesn't answer, do I call back? Leave a voicemail???? Weird!
What's the move here? Text to set something up or give her a call?
Shit, the last time I had to play, texting wasn't even really a thing.
The conundrum was whether or not to email before calling.
She's got a great personality!
Get the important shit out of the way early.
Oh, and what are her thoughts on Chicago?
Yeah, it's soooo weird for someone to set their two friends up on a date!
The kid has a point.
Rare, but, he's right.
Texting is probably fine, but a phone call would be nice.

I actually do think it's kind of weird. Can you still ask your friend if you can all just hang out together sometime?

None of RB's friends think he should reproduce is what I'm getting from this thread.
Heres a solid tip for you. Girls like dick...work with that.
I'd shoot over an intro text and see when it'd be cool to give her a call.
From that, she'd either continue texting and you do the small talk that way (most likely), or she'd tell you when to call, or she'll blow you off completely.
Either way, how the hell do you still have trouble figuring this shit out?
"Danger Will Robinson. Danger."
Exactly. I met my wife through a setup, but it was as you described. The people setting us up had a big barbeque and invited us as well as some other people.
"Initially".
THAT'S FUNNY!!!!
Troof.
Brett is the Tanner Glass of anything women-related.
That was 20 years ago, so maybe yours is different.

When is he not?
'omgz becky, your friend you just tried to set me up with just randomly called me to hang out/talk/blah/blah, it was sooo awkward lol, what kind of weirdo are you trying to set me up with? He could have just not been weird and just texted me...'
Don't hurt yourself trying to understand the logic, it just is. This is what we deal with these days.

Call her, don't text her, set a good precedent from the start. Don't overthink it, just be positive and keep the convo light and let it breathe.
Call her and breathe into the phone.
You're right, it was unnecessary and degrading. I let my emotion get the better of me and I regret stooping so low.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Tanner.
