I agree with MikeS. As the OP, I asked the question because I used to like to call. I was nervous calling, but, as in cold approaching, I embraced the nervousness and called anyway. And, more importantly, women would actually pick-up.
These days if you call, 98% she won't pick up when you call. <15% she'll call you back. Either she won't respond or she'll text you, "saw your missed call. what's up?" So you have to ping twice, including the first call, and usually a text. That is extra time and could come off as needy.
