Getting asked out

[leothelioness]

How do you normally get asked out? In person, through text, over the phone? How would you prefer to be asked out?

The couple of times I've been asked out it was through text and over the phone. I would prefer to be asked out in person.

Through a second party..

Never directly, lol.

 

[ReesePiece23]

Hmmm... I might need a minute to mull it over.

It's been a while.

 

[Saucy]

Never have been.

I've never been asked out, I'm always the one doing the asking. When I do, I usually use whatever means I know will be quickest. If I'm with the her, I'll ask her in person. If I'm not, I'll probably text (I hate talking on the phone).

It's been either by text message, by Facebook, or in person. Most of the time, it has been in person or by text. I've never been asked out over the phone since phone conversations seem to be dead in the era of texts messages and FB. I would prefer to be asked out in person, but text is okay, too.

Leo you gotta quit asking me out so much.

Text can be deceptive... I had a rather embarrassing experience several years ago, when I was young and gullible.

I've actually never felt embarrassment like it since. Even looking back after all of these years makes me cringe.

I don't get asked out. I'm not sure what method id prefer. I don't think it matters to me as long as it's not in front of a crowd.

 

[Miss Spaulding]

I've never been asked out. However, I know that I definitely prefer being asked out in person instead of over a phone call/text or via Facebook.

It's been a while, but it usually was in person.

Lol, what happened?

Okay, well, I met this girl one day through a group of friends; we hit it off immediately, and we had a great time together. We talked, hugged, had a laugh, and then I walked her home. We never exchanged numbers - we just sort of kept it as a passing thing, so I didn't really think anything of it at the time.

A few days later I receive a text - it was from the girl. Apparently, she had asked one of my mates for my number because she wanted to thank me for walking her home. She then asked me out to dinner - and then said that she couldn't get me out of her mind. So, like the flattered gentleman I was, I cordially agreed to the date, and thanked her for the kind words.

As the week progresses the texts mount up as the date draws nearer. I booked the table at the restaurant, got all of my nicest clothes ready, and made sure that I had saved plenty of money up. I'm suspecting absolutely nothing at this point.

Then, the evening of the date rolls around. About an hour or two before we're due to meet, I receive a text from her alleged boyfriend who was threatening to smash my teeth out. So, needless to say, no date for me. But the cringe worthy thing is that I actually engaged in an argument with this alleged guy, making a complete numpty of myself in the process - because when Monday rolled around, the person behind all of the text messages reveals himself - the entire thing was a great big wind up, right from the very first text. My friends had me hook line and sinker. I had completely fallen for it.

I couldn't of been any older than sixteen at the time - and a lot of my friends were much older than me, so I was ridiculously easy to prank.

So yeah, for a couple of years afterwards I was extremely on my guard with every other girl. If I received an obscure text from a random I'd always follow it up with a phone call, just to confirm.

I laugh now, but at the time I just wanted the ground to swallow me up. It's bad enough that I was as keen as I was, let alone falling for the joke! Aggh!!

 

[leothelioness]

Aww, that's terrible. :/

What's asking out? Like a date? I'm sorry, but I never hear about people getting asked out to dates at my age. Maybe it's just my age group, and maybe it is just because I am in college, but people don't get asked out it seems.

Majority of the time, people will just meet up at frat parties or mixers and hook up. That's how it is here, at least. I think my generation is called the hook-up culture though, and I believe they are right.

Personally, I expect a man to either ask me to my face or call me over the phone! Text is just too...informal for my taste unless it's a bootycall.

That's really sad.

Don't worry, they all eventually felt the wrath of ReecePiece - I ain't nobody's victim.

I'll tell you what though - an experience like that don't half put hairs on your chest. I'm almost impossible to catch off guard these days.

I have been asked out in person many times.
I have also meet people who have asked for my number, and then been asked out over the phone while we were talking, or a text message.

Was this in High School? Sorry, I did not read the whole thread, if you answered that question.
It always amazes me how cruel and mean people can be, and find some kind of joy in hurting others. So much misery they have in their lives. I am, however, glad to hear you passed this experience.

Ha ha now that is funny. The girls feel all bad but I don't think they understand guy pranks.
