People look terrible on webcams...I wouldn't be doing *that*! Plus, part of the point of meeting IRL is seeing a person's body language, how to interact with others and in public outside of their home, etc. The greeting hug that Guitarist gave me when we first met was intimate and electric. I wouldn't have wanted that diluted by a pseudo-meeting on webcam...I doubt I would have been able to see the chemistry on webcam. That's a lot of the point of the first meeting -- seeing if there's chemistry (for many people).

About talking on the phone first. Guitarist avoided that because he didn't want to give out personal info before we met. If I phone from my home phone, someone has my full name, my address, etc. That's a lot of info to give someone you've never even seen IRL. I guess a cell phone gives a little less, but then you risk being pestered by unwanted calls/texts...
