talking to people is awkward sometimes. it should feel awkward. it's putting yourself out there in real time.
the confidence you feel while texting him is illusory. comforting maybe, but not real.
Over time you will feel more comfortable talking with him on the phone. This is the way relationships are built. If you don't want to do it for yourself, then do it for your country.
