So, I met a woman on an on-line dating site. I'm 29 and she's 26. We exchanged emails for 10 days or so and I told her I'd like to meet her and asked if she felt the same. She emailed me back saying she was thinking the same thing. She wrote: "How about I give you my phone number (if that’s ok with you) and you can call or text me and we could make a plan."

 

Do I call or text?? Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? I'm probably over thinking it. My first instinct is to text.

I would honestly recommend calling her instead of texting. It seems the more..gah I can't even think of a word to describe it. It would make you seem more confident?

 

I think it 'outta make future conversations easier for when you two actually meet up.

If you start texting her it's not much better/different from emailing her and you'll still be fretting about when to have that first call. Just dive in and call her. It doesn't need to take more than 10 minutes, and you don't even need to sort out all the fine details about the date, but you'll make more real progress than you can in a whole evening of texts.

 

It's good if you have a specific idea for a date that you can suggest (eg time/place/activity) even if she rips that apart and you end up changing everything.

Call. It will convey greater confidence and make you stand out from the crowd. Trust me, calling helps. It's almost like the difference between a letter and an email. More special.

Definitely call, dude. It so much more personal.

Texting her would be an epic fail.

So many people text these days. Half the people I meet text and rarely call. It's a sign of the future I suppose.......:sick:
