I don't see the big deal about texting. A lot of the "norms" in society may not have been the norm if current technology was around back then. People may have been texting to go on dates all the time back in the 20's if smartphones were around then.
absolutely, and I'm not a purist by any stretch, but I just think something like asking someone on a date needs to be a face to face sort of thing. or maybe on the phone at the least.
I guess it could be argued that texting is the new passing notes in class, but isn't face to face or ear to ear communication the logical evolution of this type of thing?
Face to face could be difficult to make happen when you are an adult that is out of school. You may not see the person very often unless you are coworkers, so phone or text are your two options. I guess I left out singing telegram.
I don't know. Is a date that big a deal that you need to have a phone conversation or face to face? It isn't like they are proposing marriage or being exclusive. It is just a dinner with another person. It happens millions of times each day.
yes, but also in this context, where it could be awkward for both parties (friends first), I think it would be highly beneficial to be face to face. you are changing the dynamic of an existing relationship, which is different than asking for one to exist that didn't before.

Perhaps the best way to make this transition from friends to more is to just get drunk and start making out one night.

That's how I wound up in most of my relationships.
Got an answer, in the form of a question. Took a week for it... hmm... this is weird...
Well what was the question?
"What kind of a date?"
Hmm. Well, did you answer? I'm not sure if this thread has turned you off taking any advice here forever and ever, lol, but if I were you I'd just reply with what your plans were. I.e. "A dinner and movie date"... or whatever you were thinking about doing. That is clear, and she'll be forced to say yes or no. Finally.

"All I wanna do is talk to you and maybe go out, and form some kind of relation"
Well, should we make up our own questions until we find out what she said? I'll list a couple.
"New phone, who dis?"
"What took you so long to ask?"
"Can you give up listening to the band KISS?"
