Time is passing you by. Text has replaced the phone call as the preferred method of communication, especially with someone you don't know very well.

Which explains the young man's complete lack of communication skills.

 

[Eminence]

John is my friend, he works with her. I made plans with him and the girl. I guess they had a conversation at work yesterday and he invited her to drink with us.

And then he nailed her when you didn't show.

 

[Henry Ford]

Big HF fan but he's definitely wrong on this one. Text is the way to go.

Again, depends on what he wants out of her.

You want a girl to bang, that's one thing. You want a young woman to take out and buy things for, and tell her she's pretty, that's another thing.

 

[Henry Ford]

I know I say the same thing in every one of these relationship threads for young guys, but I promise you that my way works. It just does. If you want a woman, act like a man. If you want a girl, act like a boy.

I know a lot of men who are married, some recently and some for decades. Not one got the first date with his wife by sending her a text.

You want to turn your life around, change what's going on, get an education, a better job, a nice girl, and a house? Start with the little things you can change now. One of those is, when you want to discuss something important, pick up the phone and call or go there in person.

Alright, enough ranting. Totally blaming that on the moonshine.

I liked this, but texts are apparently the way to go these days. Miss Manners once wrote that phone calls were really an unwanted intrusion, and I think she's right. Texts allow you to get back on your own time, in your own way. And people are comfortable with the format. I hate it, but my younger friends all prefer it.

He isn't trying to discuss something important. He is trying to get a drink with her. Maybe the old way works for older people. Any of these married guys 25 or younger? Your confusion is that you think making a phone call is acting like a man. Its not. Holding the door, planning and paying for dinner, giving her your coat when it's cold, that's the man ####. Talking on the phone is not.

 

[fatness]

So I'm pretty sure she's on the fence about the entire thing.

See the fence. Be the fence.

 

[The Kerminator]

One note... calling this girl a ##### is definitely the way to go in the next text. Don't use her name, address it something like, "Hey #####, let's hang out 2nite." That is sure to win her away from John even after his tapping that donkey.

Women like the bad boys.

Of course that's all the man ####. But you don't even get to that point unless you actually put yourself out there and talk to her first. Hear her reaction in real time. And several of them are under thirty, not sure how much younger. Likely under 25 on 1 or 2.

I hate phone calls. Most people I know hate talking on the phone. Women I know have commented about how it's creepy when they meet a guy and he calls them instead of texts. They assume that something is off with him. Now not everyone is that extreme, but it's not that hard to get a girl to go out with you, certainly doesn't require a phone call. We can agree to disagree, I'm just telling you the times they are a changin.

Henry was born in 1863. You have to forgive him from him for his old fashioned ways. But don't discount his game. Between Agnes and Eunice he gets lots of tail.

Women use the word "creepy" to describe a guy they don't like. Believe me if you give her the tingles she'll communicate by damn carrier pigeon if you want to.

This is true. And I've been properly admonished by others.I stand by the non-texting thing. I'd never conduct business by text, and relationships are as important as business or more so.

Yeah, but no offense, it's safe to say Em isn't giving her the tingles here. He will need to play his hand properly. It's better to play it slow and casual IMO.

Mr. Ford. I have to say, you are so out of touch with what women want these days. To really show you're a man and not a boy, Em should be showing up at her door in a Tuxedo with a Colt 45 hostered to his left ribcage. If he doesn't have facial hair, he should get a fake mustache (I would recommend the 75 cent ones found in any supermarket - don't go for the 50 cent kind as it just isn't classy enough). Be sure to bring a friend who can play a guitar to accompany you when you sing "Just the way you are" by Billy Joel.

Its a can't miss.

[sdp1226]

A phone call can't hurt your chances. If anything, it could be pretty effective.

In today's iDating world, it is much more common to iFlirt via text, emails, winks, pokes(if you're lucky) where as phone calls have become a lot less common. Women today also have a ton of suitors, especially if they have an online dating profile. With that much competition, it is essential for you to stick out from the crowd.

If she's interseted, you maiking a simple phone call vs. every other swinging richard sending texts accomplishes you sticking out from the crowd. Chances are she wont pick up, so you have to have a VM ready to go. If she doesn't get back to you, then it's not likely because of the phone call. It's probably becasue your game sucks or you pose no more value than the anyone else interested.

 

[DocHolliday]

[Rick James]

The method of communication is not as important as the message. Em, your texts were really weak. Too indifferent, too passive. When she asked what your plans were, you should have said "Seeing a movie with you. Pick you up at 8:00". Don't ask. Always assume a yes.

So, yeah, he could text her. Or he could do a lot of different things.

But he needs to stand out from other people. And for once, stand out in a good way.

Fair enough. In my recent limited experience of dating women in their early to mid 20's calling them before texting would come off as pretty weird. Texting is the primary communication method for the vast majority of people <30. It has nothing to do with being afraid of immediate rejection or speaking on the phone, it's just normal and an expected way to communicate.

I think it's just a generational/age gap type of thing. Standing out is fine, but when you're already a little weird (no offense, Em) you don't want to stand out as the creepy guy that calls people.

Big HF fan but he's definitely wrong on this one. Text is the way to go.

Again, depends on what he wants out of her.You want a girl to bang, that's one thing. You want a young woman to take out and buy things for, and tell her she's pretty, that's another thing.

I agree with this. When asking a chick out, you never text. You call. It shows confidence. A text screams out that you think there's a chance she could say no and you don't want to have to deal with that.

Anyone think Brad Pitt texted Angelina Jolie to go out?

Brad Pitt is 50 years old.

Keep in mind that a lot of you are saying how YOU pick up girls. And that's great. But we're talking about Em. He's not having that much luck of late.

Outside of using chloroform, I don't see him having much success.

So, yeah, he could text her. Or he could do a lot of different things.

But he needs to stand out from other people. And for once, stand out in a good way.

False.

Calling shows that you have the balls that 99% of the beta males don't have. Unless you look like Brad Pitt or have a trust fund you should call.

Yeah, I can see that. It's been a while since I've been in the dating game, so I'm no expert.

I do remember I was talking with a girl about 7 years ago via text seeing if she was free. When she said yes, I called her and asked if she wanted to go get some drinks. She said that she was impressed that I didn't ask her via text and that made her feel good that I actually asked her over the phone.

Of course, that was 7 years ago. So. There's that.
