Don’t Ask A Girl Out with Text Message!

Posted by admin on May 9, 2008

Don’t invite a girl out with text message! Or you are seen as a lousy bad date.

I was having lunch with some long time pals and this girl started reeling off her pet peeve on lousy dates. Naturally, I paid her my full attention.

#1: Don’t ever think of inviting me out via a text message. Am I not worth your time to pick up the telephone to make a personal invitation? I will admire the guy’s guts for opening his mouth. The chances of me saying yes is much, much higher than to a text message.

#2. Don’t even think of doing so after the first date either. I still need to get to know him better. Text message is cold and definitely NOT SEXY.

#3. How do I know if he didn’t blast the same text message to a whole bunch of women hoping that some of us bite, which gives him an opportunity to pick, choose and schedule a timing? I’m not that desperate!

Okay, point noted. It could be an unfair burden for the guys, but a personal invite comes with an advantage: It will make you stand out from the mass of other men who text instead of calling. So many people are conditioned to communicate through text messages that to receive a phone call is a generously romantic gesture to many women.

Guys, we have to be the debonair and caring really nice dates !
