much like a carpet bombing resume, a txt is a very slim shot.
If you WANT to succeed, ask her out in real life. A rejection will hurt more, but it's also harder for her to turn down/ignore than a pipsqueak txt from Random Dude.
Say you have talked to a woman a number of times. All is going well.
You only see each other rarely and both have busy lives. You have never gone on a official date, but have hung out a few times.
So you are going to ask her on a date, but due to only seeing each other rarely and the busy nature of your lives, you decide to do so via text. Fair or foul? get voting.
What, it would kill you to call her on the phone? Why would you decide on text instead of phone?

I wasn't saying I was going to do it (text). The OP came across wrong in that respect. Given I have never asked someone out on a first date via text before (have gone on loads of dates but always either face to face or phone) was curious how it would go down with most people.
Thanks I guess, but some people here get way too wound up and take themselves and certain things way too seriously at times.

So did you call her?
Lol - I'm sure you're not surprised the text idea wasn't too popular
I'd send her text and an emoticon as an addition to break the mood and signal good vibrations.
OP, you're living in fantasy world if you think that a woman will reject your proposal because you sent her a text proposal with an emoticon instead of some fanfare-involving proposal.
If you'd ask a woman, of course she'd wish you to be maximally involved and stretch yourself to a maximum while she makes minimum effort because you give her maximum leeway and space to do whatever she wants. That's great for her and terrible for you, so you should NOT follow "TV approach". This is how doormats behave and how they get trained to be future doormats.
If she's interested in going on a date with you after a couple of your meetings and stuff that you described, a text message with an emoticon is more than enough for her to go out with you. If she's not interested anyways, a phone call will not make any difference. Do what's comfortable, ditch what's not. Guys who are most fulfilled and most successful in dating are guys who don't go out of their skin to behave in a way that "ties their hands, feet, etc", they don't do things that limit their options and opportunities to land a date. The same applies to women.
