Continue chatting?

I joined a meetup group on another site, and a few guys individually welcomed me and one of them went more in depth. Asking about myself, telling where he's from, what he was doing that weekend. I did say I have chronic anxiety to him, right up front, about meeting one on one rn. That's why I'm attempting at least Joining a group, nevermind actually meeting up, yet.

He had wanted to chat on phone within a week so I said I have anxiety on phone too, I'm working on it but could we chat here for a bit. He said no worries, taking it slow is good, but that it's important to grow in friends or more, on phone. I have not replied. I don't want to lead anyone on for a one on one meetup. But OTOH, he was kind and seemed humorous too. Should I reply? I *think* he's looking for dating. I just don't know what to do. Like I said he did seem like a genuine person.

Hard as it is, you need to be brave if you can. Get to know him, if he's the right one he'll be patient and understanding. Give him something though, your fear of not being enough might come accross as you're not interested. I know it's easy for me to say...good luck though, I'd be over the moon if it works for you.

@ironborn Well I'm not certain how I feel yet, whether I'd wish for friendship or more. He definitely seems kind. I guess I could give chatting a little more time perhaps. Thank you Iron.
