If you're a guy, would you ask a girl out on a date personally or through text or e-mail? If you're a girl, would you rather be asked personally or "electronically"? Some people just play it safe. It's either they're shy or they're not sincere at all.

I prefer being asked to go out on a date personally. Text messages or even emails can hide true feelings and the sincerity can't be seen. Asking someone can be very hard especially on those who are shy but through asking personal, the effort of the guy plus the sincerity can be seen.

It depends on how well I know the person. If the guy and guy are friends already and moving towards the dating stage, I don't mind being asked out on a date by an SMS message. Usually, guys are shy and afraid of rejection, especially during the transition stage of being friends to dating. However, if I don't know the guy well, I want to be asked in person because I have no idea how sincere that guy is in getting to know me.

In this modern day i think it is okay to ask a gal out via tx especially if you have been txting her for awhile. I mean my ex and I were txting each other a lot and one day he asked if I wanted to go somewhere with him, as friends and it turned into more. But like ary said if I didn't know him I would have wanted to be asked out in person.

I would rather have everything said to my face, at least then I know for a fact it is that person saying it. Electronically, anyone can get hold of a mobile phone and if you have your passwords saved onto your PC or laptop then friends can get onto there and maybe mess uo your life!

I would prefer that someone would ask me out personally. I wouldn't necessarily say no if they asked me out electronically but personally just means that much more to me. They took that extra step to show that they really are interested in you and are willing to have enough courage to do it. Part of me thinks that it's the fear of rejection that makes people ask someone out through text or email because then they can ignore it and act as if it never happened. Doing this in person is much harder and a lot more awkward. I'm not going to act as if I'm all brave though because I've actually asked through text before but I wish I could have done it personally.
