There ought to be a word for the relief you feel for getting a girl's voicemail rather than having to actually ask her out over the phone. This reminds me of the following famous (and slightly modified) exchange between me and Haiwen:

He: "Did you call Clarissa?"
Me: "No, I got her machine."
He: "You mean robo-Clarissa?"

Yep, I'm clearly robosexual. The only problem is that Clarissa is occasionally and intentionally (robot voice) inaccessible....
