How To Talk To Girls Over The Phone?

I met this cutie on Saturday and we exchanged numbers. She sent me a flirty text later that night, and found me on Facebook the next day with another flirty message. Go me! Now I'm thinking I should ask her out over the phone, but I'm as nervous as a 4th grader when I'm on the phone with a girl. It's really weird, but I get a lot of confidence from the way I dress and behave in real life. When I'm talking to a girl over the phone, I don't have the same confidence. Here's how things usually go:

me: Hi, how's it going
her: Pretty good, and yourself?
me: Pretty good, just doing my laundry right now, what are you up to?
her: Just sitting around at home
me: Not doing anything cool?
her: No, not really
me: That's no good, you need some more excitement in your life
her: Yeah?
me: Yeah SO ANYWAY, you wanna grab dinner some time?

GREEN - Indicates an abrupt transition
Sprinkle in a few awkward pauses here and there and that's what a typical conversation over the phone looks like for me.

Do you guys have any tips for having a conversation with a girl over the phone? Also, if I engage a girl in a potentially long-ish conversation over the phone, should I start with: "do you have some time to talk right now?" Should I even try engaging in a long-ish conversation with a girl or should I just go for the kill right away?
I just feel like every time I try talking to a girl over the phone, I can't get comfortable enough talking to her for her to actually agree to hang out with me. All in all, I don't want to ask her out on Facebook, but I'm worried that the lack of confidence I may convey over the phone will turn her off big time.

I know I'm already really over thinking this, but I feel like it will help to hear some advice from you guys.
