I know it would have been on and popping in the 70's.I went to happy hour with a friend about two weeks ago. She ran into one of her old coworkers, and we all got to talking. He was a nice guy, and he asked for my number at the end of the night. Cool.He sent me a few texts. Y'all know I don't do texts. If you want to talk call me. You have the number. I played along for a few, until my fingers got tired. I told him to call me if he wanted to talk.We talked, and it was good. He said we should hang out. Ok. FF to last Friday. He texted again asking if I had plans for Friday. I told him no, and he didn't follow up with, "Do you want to go out?"I don't have the energy for this. I'm too old. Either you want to go out or not. I can't do the texting, and you have me missing my fav shows over this nonsense.

    I really don't enjoy texting either. I don't like text speak so it takes me forever to write a text because the words have to be right.

    agreed on the text speak.  And don't miss your fav shows. Get a TiVo already. Not just to free up your time for one of the 4 men in the world, but mostly to free up your time for doing whatever the hell you want - happy hour after work, an extra 5 minutes on the elliptical, baking, etc.

    What was wrong with you picking up the phone and saying, "I don't have plans Friday. Would you like to do something?" Because you CAN do that.

    When H and I first started dating, he would want to talk, but not on the phone. We would IM. He lived less than a mile from me. It was ridickulous (mis-spelling intentional). It wasn't until I went to Hawaii for ten days until we talked on the phone. He called me at least once everyday. I remember that was when Flavor of Love was on and he caught me once when me and my Mom were lit up drunk. My Mom was yelling something klassy someone said on the show in the background. He was cracking up. I think it was when that white girl spit on someone.

    Hooka, I've done that. I don't have a problem saying, "Do you want to hang out?" To be honest, I wanted to see how long it would take him to stop texting and say the words, "Do you want to go out?" It has been MY experience that many men will text, and call, but not ask you out. I'm only speaking from my experience, but that gets old, and I like men that are confident and will ask you out. I don't think there's anything wrong with a woman asking a man out, and I've done it once or twice, but a lot of men are used to women pursuing them. I'm sure you disagree.

    I's with NOLA here. He's Just Not That Into You says if he wants to ask you out, he will ask you out.

    This: To be honest, I wanted to see how long it would take him to stop texting and say the words, "Do you want to go out?"Why play games or give little 'tests'? Just ask the man out if you want to go out. Damn. You're not chasing him down if you ask if he wants to go. You're chasing him if you contnually call/email/drive by his house once he tells you he's not intererested or before he shows interest.

    Thank you Duck. He might be blowing up my phone, but if he really wanted to go out he would ask. This man is 39 years old. What did he do before texting was big? It's cool. I guess if I really wanted to go out with him, I would ask also.
