| | Texting or calling?Page 1 of 1 | | Hey all, just wondering what the right way to go about this is. When a girl gives me their number, is it ok to call and leave a nice message or should I sent a couple of texts first, then ask politely if it's ok to call? I feel like I don't sound serious if I text, and I want to put a voice with the profile... | |

I think it might be a generational thing, though, and you're not going to please everybody, so I think you should go with what feels right for you.
I think that your reasoning that it seems more serious if you call and that you want to put a voice with the profile is reasonable.
If the woman you called then somehow indicates that she would prefer texting, you can go with that if you're comfortable with it. | |

I totally agree. I prefer voice call...I think it's more personal (my opinion)
Everyone has different preference. Some like talking on the phone while others just text ALL DAY every day! LOL
OP: I think you should give her a call first, and if she doesn't answer...leave a message. From there, she'll call you back or text you. Regardless, you took the first step of initiating it by calling...so GOOD LUCK! :smilie(' ') | |

You never ever text to ask if its ok to call....You call and if its not a good time for her, she wont pick up and you leave a voice mail. It honestly is not as hard as you are making it. | |

When did life get so complicated?
If it were me, I'd say call. I don't respond to texts.
But if I were 25 years younger, I'd probably expect a text. But don't ask if it's ok to call. Just ask when. | |

Texting is just moving the conversation from the POF Inbox to another screen. It is NOT progression on any level. Adults like to hear voices because they understand communication is more then just the spoken words but the tone and emphasis too.
Should I sent a couple of texts first, then ask politely if it's ok to call?
You are kidding, right ? Pick up the phone and call. If she answers you can check if it's a convenient time to talk. If it isn't find out when you should call back. This isn't rocket science. | |

Unless you know her really well, do not text. Leave the texting and sexting for when you get comfortable bantering with her throughout the day for no reason. | |

In a generation where texting happy birthday is accepted, having manners is considered being wimp. I will never understand. | |

Posted: 3/12/2012 11:42:16 AM | It depends. When you got her number did you tell her you would call her, text her or none of the above? If a guy tells me he'll call me, then I expect a call, not a text. Example, I met a guy recently who asked for my number and said he would call me. He then clarified it and told me he would text me because he's a texter. So, a text or call would've been ok in my book.

There's nothing like hearing the guy's voice, whether it be on a voice mail or one on one. Texting for kids is fine, but once you get to be over 25, start making actual calls! | |
