OP Here
>>5, I think I agree;

I talked with my sister, and she had a good point, that "anyone can be made to sound bad, or sound good, depending on what you want to make of them", and I realized I was overanalyzing this girl, perhaps...

I e-mailed her back, saying how I admired her honesty, and mentioned about AIM, saying that:
Either way, at the least we've got e-mail, until you get back on your feet here soon, get a car setup, and re-aquire the job and whatnot, and then we'd be able to do the catch dinner-thing in town;

Her reply, summed up was that:

1. "If we're dating & things are going well, mind if I join you at the anime 'con you mentioned in a couple months?
2. Maybe one of these days, we can sit down and play some games together. That would be great. Or maybe one day, a couple of months from now, when all is well, it may also be nice to snuggle up to an anime.
3. Well, it really sounds like we are hitting it off. Things seem to be going quite well between you and I. I don't know maybe it would be time to step this communicating up to the next level. That is all up to you. If I gave you my number, would you call? Or is it rushing it? It's entirely up to you.

Sounds great, but I don't know about the "would you call" thing... Literally, my last two relationships involved the telephone to an unhealthy point...

The first relationship was with a person I got to know and fall for on the phone who treated me completely different when we finally met...

The second, was with a girl who got surly with me if I hadn't called her every day, on time, and would do the "I always call you not the other way around" guilt-trip, even though I was calling her...

I swore to myself that never again would I be slave to a girl over the telephone, let alone the phone bills it racked up when I went over-minutes...

I don't mind calling, but I'm an "in-person" or "e-mail/AIM" type guy... I don't mind talking on the phone, just not for hours, etc...

How would be a good way to tell her that I don't want to go down the check-in-with-me-every-day & tell me "so how was your day" route?

I'm sure she'd just like to hear what I sound like, since she's stuck at home in the broken-leg situation, but I'm leery after past relationships of setting a precedent...

I may be a "nice guy", which means I'm not going around seeing other girls (not that since we haven't even met yet on a date, I'm not keeping my options always open), but I'm not the kind of guy who'll ever want to start a "I'm just checking in before I go out for the evening" standard...

Suggestions/Advice, on anything I've mentioned, folks?! Thanks, all!
