Listener email: Needs Help

IS IT LAME THAT A GUY ASKED ME OUT . . . BY TEXT MESSAGE???
I met a guy I really like two weeks ago, and since then he's called me a few times, and we've been texting each other a lot.
--The other day he finally asked me out. But there was one problem: He did it in a TEXT MESSAGE.
--He said that he wanted to hang out sometime this week. I told him I was all for it . . . and that he could call me later.
--Is it lame that he basically asked me out in a text message? Was it because he was nervous? Or is that an acceptable way to do things these days?
--Kristen, 24

I would say that if texting is how you have been communicating then that is fine. Good things like asking for a date is ok. If he uses texting for a negitive thing like breaking up, that is another story!!

I agree. It makes it feel more casual and takes some of the pressure off of a first date. He's obviously interested (and yes, probably nervous), so I say don't pass up a chance at something that could be great, just because it's not the way you expected to be asked. Hope it works out for you!

In today's world, that is pretty normal. I agree with the first comment - if he breaks up that way, he is a loser!

It's ok, he was probably nervous. however if if continues to be the main way of communicating...not so much
