    If you have something you have to ask him, write it down and pull out the paper later. That being said, don't make it an interview. Don't ask too many questions like that at one time. Also, tell him that you get flustered when you talk with him and if it is OK to ask a question you wrote down.

    Mostly, talk about current situations, such as what you are doing, if you like the current movies, your favorite music and similar subjects. Also ask about his ideas on the same subjects. As you become more comfortable talking with him, you will find a way to tell him what you want to say and ask him what you want to ask. Take your time.

      Fear, is a scary thing. That's why it's called fear. Don't be frightened to get to know him.

      You've known him for 1 week... If I read that right, you've met him and now you talk alot on the phone..

      Ask, to meet with him again, it's easier to speak face to face when getting to know someone, than to try to do it by way of a telephone...

      I'm curious as well, did he ask you to be his girlfriend or is that a lable you've put on it because you've met and been out once and now talk on the phone?

      I was still a tad shy on the phone after 2 weeks, it's normal so don't beat yourself up over it...

      If he really likes you, he will laugh if you blunder something, or / and understand, your nervous

        I know it sounds stupid and immature...But I played 20 questions when I was afraid to ask a question. We actually did part over txt and part in person. But it was fun and we did a lot of laughing about the stupid questions. I'm sure he has questions about you too that he hasn't asked yet.

          In the beginning of my current relationship we also played 20 questions ... actually we played it multiple times. However I am generally questionful and can shoot them out at 100km/hour (apparently)
