Dating texting guide

How to Ask a Girl Out Over Text

A good invitation is specific enough to act on and relaxed enough that the other person can answer honestly.

Do not hide the invitation

If you want a date, eventually say so. Endless hinting creates more ambiguity than a simple invitation.

Make it concrete

“I’ve enjoyed talking with you. Want to grab coffee at Northside Saturday afternoon?”

You can adjust the venue and timing, but a real suggestion is easier to answer than “we should hang sometime.”

Make room for a real answer

A yes is useful. A counter-offer is useful. A no is also useful. Avoid arguing with reluctance or repeatedly renegotiating after a clear decline.

After she says yes

Confirm the important details without trying to maintain constant texting until the date. The conversation can breathe.
