Definitely a wimpy move, just ask the girl out and if she's busy no big deal. Getting asked out is always flattering - this guy? who knows what he's thinking.

If you like to be chased, this isn't the guy for you. His "any plans tonight" text seemed kind of passive aggressive, like he wanted to ask you out, but didn't, and then dropped the ball when he should have. Did that even make sense??

That happened two days ago. I didn't call him over the weekend. I just left his last text hanging. I could have texted something like, "Cool, call me if you're going out tomorrow." But I just dropped it. I want to be chased. Seriously. I'm not in the mood and don't have the time. If a guy wants to date me he'll have to pound down my door and shake me or something. I'm way, way too happy. DH and Andy - I could edit the post to say "in 2004 PEOPLE didn't do this." Nice point guys. I LOVE all of these comments...agree 100%. And can't believe some of those stories! Texting is crazy. I don't think it's because we're old Kat...I think it's just because it doesn't feel right. What will happen to our kids? Who knows. I imagine Benjamin with a cell phone programmed into his ear or something. Conclusion = we should all move to bungalows in Iceland and feed our cell phones to the seals.

Texting is flirty, fun foreplay when you're seeing or dating someone — it isn't a way to ask someone out. But, maybe I feel that way because I'm old. An SMS brings up a good point — what does the future hold when it comes to today's youngsters dating? I kinda hope they go back to courting ...

It's being broken-up with through text message that would suck... I wouldn’t mind so much being asked out via text message. It’s being broken-up with through text message that would suck…

My timid (bitter?) single mom prefers texting me rather than conversing on the phone - and she's 46. It's not gender OR age. It's people's personalities. In my case, she is scared of commitment and this is a way to keep me a little more distant. Here, here, Dadshouse!

We flirted by text and set up a date for tonight. (I blogged today about that bit of craziness, and then some...) I've met tons of women who would rather text me than talk on the phone. They are scaredy cats too. Please don't lump all men into that category, and please don't assume that category is devoid of women.
