I'd say that, if there were "fireworks going off" when both people
talked, it's OK for either one to make the return phone call.

In my limited experience, it doesn't seem to matter if the woman is
"liberated" (i.e., generally outgoing and willing to take the initiative
if she meets someone she finds interesting) or not.  I've had a few
rather shy women call me when interest was shown and I've been flattered
by it (it takes a load of nervousness off me, as I'm not the most
aggressive guy in the world!).  Of course, there is an equally-strong
argument that can be applied to the man's making the call, assuming that
he has also seen the abovementioned fireworks (I have made my share
of phone calls too!)

The main point is that if Person A is interested in Person B (and
hopefully, vice versa), Person A should make the return call if
he/she is interested.  The worst thing that can happen is, if
Person B is also interested, you'll both get a busy signal.  This
is a lot easier to handle than making yourself crazy by continually
thinking "Should I call or not?!"  You could forfeit a potentially
great relationship with your shyness (I've made that mistake myself!)
if you don't make an effort.  That's a foolish way to lose someone!
