Often after chatting or emailing from online singles site, the natural segue is talking on the phone. Are there phone techniques posted somewhere for this situation? You're getting to know each other, hearing each other's voice. I think for women this feels a lot safer and they are more likely to chat on the phone than meet at first. Also, a good way to qualify a woman.

I have screwed this up more than once. One time I'm thinking of in particular. She was significantly younger than me and very good looking. We get on the phone. I was nervous. She could tell. Boo. Hiss. I blew it. (no puns please.)

Certainly, a woman can get a sense of your confidence or lack thereof. She can get a lot to qualify or disqualify. I'd like to hear about others experiences on the phone and suggestions on how to move things forward.
