A lot of sources say that you need to build both attraction and comfort in a woman to get her to want to go out with you. If you’re doing online dating, should you build comfort over the online dating site messages before you ask for her number? Or should you build comfort over the phone? I’d prefer to talk to a woman on the phone before going out on a date with her. I’d prefer not to build comfort beginning on the first date because I’d prefer to get to know her as a person before we actually meet up; otherwise it would be a complete waste of time if I met up with her and found out that we’re completely incompatible.

Also, what are the best things to talk about to build comfort before the first date?

And what are things that you should talk about that don’t necessarily build comfort but that will help you land a first date? I guess some of this falls into attraction-building topics but are there other things? I’m very introverted, so I don’t have much to discuss to make me look high-status or more interesting than the majority of the guys who she has dated.

In my opinion you don't need it.

It comes along side attraction simultaneously.

Just get her to invest and work the meet, no need for phone calls and talking about boring crap.

try it to find out if it works for you. Personally I never talk to them on the phone before a first date. But I know a guy who talks to them and it works for him. Experiment to find out.
