How do you feel about getting asked out by email? (date, girl)

[FelixTheCat]

Given that you are aquaintences and have emailed, but not socially, how would you feel about being asked out by email?

[Mr.Cat]

Better than being asked out by regular mail.

Personally, I think it is kind of weak. Just man up and ask someone out face to face.

But since all the circumstances are not known I cannot be all that judgmental.

[MissLucky]

Nothing wrong with it. I personally like it better because it gives me space to think it through before answering back. Face-to-face kinda forces you to give an immediate answer, something I don't particularly like.

[FelixTheCat]

If you are not likely to run into then in person, then it's hard to ask in person without looking like you have stalked them.

[MissLucky]

I know. I think email is very appropriate at this point.

How do you feel about getting asked out by email?

I see nothing wrong with it whatsoever. Email is so commonplace these days that it's become probably the most common form of communication. Besides, it's much better than not being asked out at all.

I don't see anything wrong with it, though if you can ask someone out in person, that's always better. But people don't always have that opportunity. Both have their good and bad points. As was pointed out above, being asked out in person forces you to give an answer immediately. That can be both good and bad. Good cause you don't keep the other person waiting, but bad because you might be pressured to say yes. Email lets the other person think about it, but they might take too long, which sends the signal that they're not really interested. These days, with phone, email, text, Facebook, etc., I guess it's become expected that people will ask each other out in ways that we wouldn't have done 10 years ago.

I think it's okay to send a "feeler" out for a date. But for confirming the date and arranging the time to pick her up it's better to call and have a real conversation. Saves a lot of back and forth emailing if you need to work out the details.

I view men who hide behind email and texting all the time as somewhat cowardly or lacking self-confidence. It's more straight-forward and attractive if you call. Plus, you get to hear her voice!

Also, like another poster mentioned, it's easier for a girl to say "no" by email. So if you want to seal the deal, it's more likely to happen if you talk to her directly.

Sounds all right to me. Or she could send me a text message...
