After you first meet a guy (gym, grocery store, bar/club, etc.), how do you like him to contact you? Via text or an old fashioned phone call?
I suppose it might depend on how much you actually interacted during the first meeting....text might be best after a brief chat at a bar or club while a phone call might be best after an in depth conversation at a party? I was at a nightclub last night and four different women gave me their number. It feels like getting numbers is meaningless these days.
For those that reply if you don't mind stating if you are in your 20's, 30's, 40's, etc. I am wondering if age makes a difference. Thanks.
I think the 20's and 30's crowd texting appears to be much more acceptable, you hear stories of people dumping someone via text, so if that tells you anything.
I'm not a huge fan of texting, but I use it for quick sort of one way messages, such as running late or call you later type things, I think texting a full blown convo is sort of asinine to me.
I'm not a woman so I can't answer the OP directly, but I would think that phone call would be more personal than a text.
It's going to depend on the specific woman you meet, and what her individual preferences are. If many 20-something's tell you they prefer text, what happens when the 20-something you meet prefers phone calls?

Text is fine, but I really appreciated phone calls.

I exclusively dated via OLD, and typically communicated extensively (chat, messages and phone) prior to the first date in person.

30s. I was in my late 20s when I was in the dating scene, and the majority of the men were late 30s to early 40s.

I'm mid 40's.
Some days I am an old soul. I like calls. But almost everyone i know my age(and younger) likes texts. I only use texting for logistics.
I feel like a call shows more intent. And i like hearing your voice if i like you.
I have one friend who i have text convos with. And ocassionally my sister. She prefers texts but we generally just talk more over meals.
My sister (mid 30s hates calls and really really hates voicemails.
To generalize:
People under 40 like texts
Extroverted people probably like calls
Introverts of all ages like texts

If they are interested in dating me, then they can pick up a phone and talk to me. An email and/or text feels very impersonal. If I provide a number, it's an invitation to call...and it happens very rarely. If people are throwing their number at you...let me say it like this: If some guy throws his number at me without knowing a fricken thing about me, I'm not going to waste my time.
