blue16 Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 I've noticed lately on this forum a string of people having a crush on someone, and instead of asking them out in person or atleast over the phone...they share their feelings over email. I have rarely (if ever) seen one of these stories come out as successes. Everytime it's usually the same thing. The person doesn't respond, and it leaves the person who sent the email in doubt - "did they read it? does them not responding mean no? do I bring up the email or just pretend it never happened?" only making the situation much worse. I have tried the email gig in the past as well...and to no surprise it didn't work out at all - lesson learned. I think people should stop using email as a way of asking someone out, and tell them in person instead. Something important like that should be done face-to-face (or atleast over phone) instead of hiding behind a computer screen. Chances of a 'yes' are much higher if the person just bites the bullet and asks them in real life (IMO). Now whether or not the stories I've read here would've turned out differently if the member hadn't asked the person out over email...I can't say. But even if you do get rejected, you will get so much more respect and admiration for having the guts to make a move in person instead of over the computer.
millefiori Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 You're right. When the person is interested in you, they will wonder why you didn't ask them directly and instead hide behind an email. If they are not interested in you, they will just forget to answer your email.
alphamale Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 women think that men who ask them out initially using email lack self-confidence. ergo, the dudes get nothin'
