Try: Having a Conversation Outside Your Comfort Zone
I'd rather text too, btw. Always. Maybe text to hang out, then try the comfort zone convo?
If you don't usually reveal much about how you're feeling, try sharing something. If you're an over-revealer, sit back and learn about something new. If you talk to hide discomfort, try being quiet to see what happens. If you hate talking....you get the picture.
Get over the initial discomfort. Break the action down into something super small...one small comfort zone step at a time.
