For all my blogging on dating apps, my roommate made me promise that I would go on a date in 2015 via a dating app. (Though I think a date is a big enough promise. Anyone else agree?)

This got me thinking about my hang-ups regarding meeting someone in person off of Tinder/OkCupid/Farmers Only. I realize I have insecurities that I omit on my dating profile. So in the interest of self-disclosure, here they are:

My voice.  This is my biggest hang-up. I sound like a prepubescent boy or, at my best, a nasally New Yorker (and is that anyone's best?). Occasionally I get asked if I'm British (bless you). But sometimes people call me "ma'am" on the phone. This is why I prefer texting. And this is also why I hate talking in front of new people. Sort of an issue when you're meeting someone for the first time.
