1) am i being too conservative, or is he moving a little too
fast?
2) is meeting people you don't know AT ALL the norm in friendster
now?
3) is calling up a total stranger for some phone chat something
that is prevalent in society now?
4) did he really expect the gal to agree to those?
5) do guys in general expect gals to agree to meeting and calling
following the scenario i painted above?
1) Too fast imho.
2) Yea It's the norm, but I do believe that that will only happen
when both parties are comfortable enough to meet up with each
other. Try doing back the usual style,
email->msn->phone->meetup 
3) Yea
4) From what I read, yes he is expecting that.
5) Perhaps I'm not part of the 'guys in general' group lolx as I
can't foresee my self doing that. No common topic to chat will
result in awkward silences when meet up/phonecall :3
