irreverentad Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 How long do you text someone before asking them out for drink or dinner? I've been given a girls number by a friend yesterday and realised I didn't have a clue what to text? She isn't on Facebook so my mate had to send photos of us both to each other. This is a first for me as I normally do these things by face and find talking easier. But with texting you don't get a sense of tone or anything, harder to gauge reactions etc. Do I text for a few days then suggest meeting up? Or a week? Longer? Do you know what this girl looks like?

Yeah, fit. Been texting loads over weekend and all of today and just asked if she fancied going for a drink soon. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 my mates missus tried to set me up with one of her mates, she said that she had told her all about me and shown her pictures of me etc etc and she was really keen, she showed me a picture of her and she was pretty **** nice. I didnt bother texting her though, I agree with you ingram its **** difficult trying to start something via text, if she would have said 'yeah she really wants to meet you and was wondering what you were doing next friday'' then I would have been all over it but through txt seems like far too much guess work to me. plus I dont like the thought of hooking up with someone that a mate has engineered...If sommet goes wrong and she things your shit in bed or you couldnt get it up you just know that there is no way to stop your mates from finding out lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, agree with everything else mate. She sounds keen and said friday sounds great, all sounds too easy to be honest. Bit worried now. Will see what happens. We've talked a lot the past few days and she sounds brill, sounds a lot more interested than the last milf I was banging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great thing is, it **** works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Dante, Wiggy, both of those are little too far but both sound great, two to remember for the future though! Think I may risk Zizzi's and hope she aint working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, have you tried ASK opposite TGI's? Forgot about ASK, foods decent in there but its not really a date-y place to me, bit too clean and open rather than romantic and cosy. An option though, tempted actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 What are you insecure about buddy? Myself mainly haha. I was just seeing similarities between how my last relationship ended and how this one was going, but I was probably making it worse by linking things together that I shouldn't. Just my pessimistic nature. I've acknowledged it and I'll work on thinking more positively. I'm not messing this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
