You're not married, and you haven't even met yet, and you expect her to drop everything on a girls trip and block out an hour or so of her time, from friends she hasn't seen in over a year? If I were her, I'd be running for the hills.
Her friend's perspective seems to be that people on phone calls are not really there and therefore don't deserve a lot of time. For the past year, when she has gone out with her friends, she normally calls me likes this, props the phone up at the dinner tables, lets me engage everyone. This isn't unusual for us.
I'm not really sure what you're imagining, but it isn't like I was begging and pleading for her attention. Had she just said no, which she didn't, that would have been the end of the discussion. She took it upon herself to call me everyday.
The point I demanded more attention on was just being present. I don't think I was 100% clear on that part. Even though the video call was active, I wasn't actively being engaged with discussion. I was more like just there at her beck and call when she felt the need to pick the phone up.
She's running right into my arms soon, but thanks for your candid opinion.
Have you been married before?
