I wasn't sure so I thought well everybody in OT loves these threads. I think she'll say yeah but should I call or is a text fine? (we text all the time)

Asking a girl out via text is super lame. Take the time to dial her number and use your voice box.

I don't think it is. Not anymore anyway. There is nothing wrong with asking if she wants to go out on XYZ night through a text. This is assuming you two already know each other pretty well. If not I'd call.

If you make yourself seem a bit shy and stuff it isn't. I asked a girl out via facebook and she became my gf. Just make it seem like a bit scared, she might think its cute. :P Either way, asking her out through any medium is better than not asking her out at all while thinking and hoping maybe.

I'm old-fashioned, I think it's lame to do it by phone... So a text message would be super-lame, yes. Do it in person.

I'd say it depends on how much you text and how well you know her. If you text alot and know her well, then go for it. Otherwise I'd probably do it in person.

Then it's perfectly OK. Just shoot her a text and ask her.

yup. Lol. I can see it right now. Getting a text and reading, "Do wanna go out with me?" Hopefully you get an answer

You should avoid it ideally, of course if there is distance involved you wouldn't be able to ask to go on a 'date' in person, so it's necessary then :P

As for actually 'asking out' as a proper bf/gf type thing, again I think in person is better, but by that point i would've thought that you should probably like each other enough that it wouldn't matter anyway in what 'format' the conversation took place.

EDIT: Actually, that's a point, are you talking about 'ask out' as in the 'do you want to meet up sometime?' sort, or as in the 'I like you, do you want to be bf/gf?' sort?

There's nothing glaringly wrong about it, but it does depend on the girl. I've known a few girls who've explicitly told me they think getting asked out by text is super lame, but others have no problem with it.

Text: No way. Way too impersonal.

Call: If you're too scared to ask her in person, go ahead.

Notes/letters: Romantic in a weird way :p go ahead.

in person: best option. awkward but makes you seem more confident than you actually are.

if you're asking her if she wants to go to a movie or something, i think that's fine through text. if you're asking "do you want to be my girlfriend?" or something like that, do it in person.

If you normally text each other then no. If it's going to be the first thing you text her, then yes.

its best to ask her out in person at least then she gets the message (she may think your joking or something by text) or if you say something sweet in the text it will sound better in RL

I can see this working in high school very well actually. I don't know though. I never asked and when somebody asked me it was always in person. I admire their guts which I do not posses.

You ask someone out in person, you don't do it over the phone, text, IM, video chat, etc. If you don't do it in person, you have no class and shouldn't be surprised when you get rejected.
