Asking for a girl's email instead of phone number? (girls, call, internet)

[mtlquebec102]

Hey guys. I wanna know what you guys would think about this. If it's the last time you'll be seeing a girl like in a group, a class or something like that, and you wanna stay in touch with her, would it be weird if you asked her for her email instead of her number? I'd rather get email instead because I don't wanna spend too much time on my cell phone because of money issues, and I don't want to use my house number because my parents are gonna get all curious and nosey and wanna get all involved in my personal life, especially when there's a new girl in my life. Please don't suggest move out of my parent's house because I'll be working on that soon...

So what do you guys think if I asked for her email? Maybe the girls her can give me their opinion as well.

For me, I would prefer email.

i'm a girl.

you ultimately will have to ask her phone number because i didn't hear any relationship goes on only by mail yeah,it's weird. maybe not so weird at first,but after a while it becomes weird.

I'm taking it that you want her email first to get to know her and then eventually talking on the phone. But I think email exchange is better then phone #.

Well yeah, I'll ask for her phone number later, when I'm closer to moving out and paying for my own phone bill.

That's what I assumed from your post, OP that you just wanted to have initial contact and I think email would be perfect. No weirdness there.

Oh, for heaven's sake! If you have a phone at all, I would think you can certainly spare a few minutes for something important to you.

do you mean messenger? i think it's so much better than e-mail.

i suppose its understandable since you have a reason for it. You could also ask for her internet messaging name or to be friended on facebook.

Couldn't you ask for both her number and her email? Getting her number doesn't mean you're obligated to call her.

Actually, maybe a better way to handle it is to tell her you'd like to keep in touch, and what would be a good way to reach her? That way you'd be contacting her in a way that she would be comfortable with.
