Don’t Ask A Girl Out with Text Message!
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 !
nice tips! This means that I have to invite them personally to a healthy dinner of salads and fruits!
I agree, texting to ask for a date is lame. Then again people these days are conditioned to be rude with texting. There are things people can learn to improve their dating lives and manners is one of them.
So true. I think if you want to ask a girl out on a first date, at the least a phone call is required. It shouldn’t be that difficult. If you are interested in going on a date with a person, they at least deserve a phone call. I know that more and more communication takes place via a simple text message now a days, but still, this is something that the text message phenomenon cannot be a justifiable means. At least, I think not.

I know some blokes broke off with their girlfriends using SMS, that’s no class. SMS is no-no for first dates.
