alphamale Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I'm not that familiar with all the latest technology mumbo jumbo. I usually call chicks to ask them out but is it acceptable to ask them out by text now a days? A lot of times when you call it goes to voicemail anyways. Seems like it would be ok as many people are using texting to communicate these days. Girls, if you gave your cell # to some dude and he texted you for a date would you be ok with it? Assuming he called after you accepted. Alpha
stevejohnson1976 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 It depends on how you have been communicating thus far. If you have been talking mostly in-person or on the phone, then I would do it that way. If you have been mostly texting and emailing, I think it's ok to do it that way. Especially if its online dating and first date. hope that helps - im a dude...so wait for females responses...
skydiveaddict Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 who is it you wanna text? that maggie chick? LMFAO
Bejita463 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I don't imagine it would be a dealbreaker, but you aren't going to portray a lot of confidence by being seemingly unwilling to even call a lady to ask her out. That would reek of insecurity to me, whether that was the actual cause or not.

That would reek of insecurity to me, whether that was the actual cause or not. this is very true. they could take it as a cop out
D-Lish Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 It would be totally okay with me. I don't like talking on the phone, and I would let it go to voice if a guy called. I do all my communicating through texting/e-mailing.
Sweetcheripie Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I would think it wimpy but I'm older (40's). Ok just asked my 16 year old daughter and she said texting to go out was "completely lame". So there you go

I do all my communicating through texting/e-mailing. i've already met this particular chick twice in person and talked with her once on the phone. i'm thinking of texting her to see if she wants to go out NYE. and no, its not the psycho

Everyone is different.
stevejohnson1976 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 with what you described, I would call for sure. If she is like D-Lish, she canb let it go to voicemail and you're off the hook. Texting is a wussy way out in my opinion, unless most of the communication thus far was electronic. call her bro

Texting is a wussy way out in my opinion, unless most of the communication thus far was electronic. call her bro yea but see the thing is i'm in between about the NYE date, if she accepts that is fine, if she doesn't accept that is also fine since i have other stuff to do. so if i call her it'll be more of a commitment vs. just texting. if I text her and she says no then its no big deal, i just saved myself some dough and can go to another party by myself where there will be tons of single broads...
Sweetcheripie Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 So basically you are asking her out by text in hopes she'll say no? I'm so confused.
Author alphamale Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 So basically you are asking her out by text in hopes she'll say no? I'm so confused. no, i'm asking her out by text for NYE with no particular outcome in mind. if she says yes that is great, if she says no that will be great too. keep in mind that this would be a 1st date for NYE, thats a pretty precarious dating situation since you haven't gone out with the person before...she could turn out to be another wacko nut job (but thats unlikely)
Sweetcheripie Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 ok ...I wouldn't ask her out for NYE - ask for another night and go to the parties.
thatguy85 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Is it ok to ask a girl out by txt message? yeah it's fine dude.
Author alphamale Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 ok ...I wouldn't ask her out for NYE - ask for another night and go to the parties. yea maybe i'll just call her tonite and see what's shakin'
stevejohnson1976 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 yea maybe i'll just call her tonite and see what's shakin' ask her what her plans are. say that you have a few things going on, but are having trouble deciding what to do. read her answer and determine then if it makes sense to ask her out with you.
deux ex machina Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Personally, I'd like to hear a person's voice. I understand that is not always possible, though. Pretty relaxed about those things.

DustySaltus Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I think if you ask her out during the day and she's at work or something, it's appropriate. Not a big fan of the massive holiday text or anything like that. I like to call people and wish them well. If you really find value in her, give her a call. In today's world a phone call means a lot more than a text.
D-Lish Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Well Alphie, I guess you have to determine which method of communication she would prefer.
ordinary_girl Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 yeah, text is fine for something like that. everyone texts nowdays.
Author alphamale Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 yeah, text is fine for something like that. everyone texts nowdays. yea thats sorta what i thought but i'm a bit behind the times. i know that some kids are sending like 200+ texts/day
Woody1 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I wouldn't personally do it. I imagine it's something that girls would hate...
