Last month, we talked about whether you should ask a woman on a date via phone or text.

Many of you fervently felt that, barring an opportunity to ask in-person (the best, manliest option, we can all agree), calling was the only way to go. But I honestly disagree and believe that texting for a date should be perfectly acceptable in some situations. While I don't think you should text simply because you're too scared to call, you should go that route if you think the gal would like it best — because of her age, personality, whatever. Being a gentleman is all about making the other person feel comfortable.

Even if you're totally opposed to asking for a date via text, you might consider a very sensible method mentioned by some other readers: texting first to tell her you enjoyed meeting, asking if it would be alright to call her later, and then phoning her to actually ask for the date.
