Poll: Is it tacky or uncool to ask someone out on Facebook or over text?

[AdmiralMemo]

It's tacky to say the very least.

Also, breaking up with someone of a 7-year relationship via email on Valentine's Day... Not a good idea either. *was on the receiving end of that experience*

If you aren't already in a relationship, you should approach them personally. Otherwise, it's fine.

Asking out is fine if you know the person tho asking in person is better. It's probably not the best idea to do over facebook if everyone can see it. Confessing you?re feelings however needs to be face to face, as do breakups

That sounds a tad impersonal don't you think? It would also send a pretty bad overall first impression, I mean it would SCREAM "I have no spine"

The way I see it; it's in person, or nothing.

Nah, dude, asking a chick out via facebook is super classy, bro!

Just in general; yes, extremely tacky. But, if it's done in an endearing way it can work out. Personally, if I got a message that just said "wanna go out y/n?" or something to that effect I'd immediately think "This person isn't serious or doesn't like me all that much anyway" On the other hand, if I got more of a detailed paragraph or letter-style message that explained why they were asking me online rather than to my face (admitting to being shy or afraid is actually rather sweet) then I'd consider it seriously instead of completely dismissing it like I would the guy who's terrified of the shift key.

If you really want a person to say yes, though, face to face is always the best option even if it's the most terrifying one.

Well, if someone asked me that way I'd flat out reject them forever after. If it was the first time asking me out that is. So I expect it would be the same way for a number of people. Have the courage to go face to face. People use the web as a security blanket.

 

[Nickompoop]

It's acceptable, but only if that's your only way of contacting them. If you have their number, call them. If you seen them face to face, that's the ideal. But asking on Facebook isn't bad per se; I've successfully asked girls out on Facebook before.

Just don't, save yourself the humiliation

It's amazing what you find face-to-face am I right?

No! Shooting a text to someone asking them out isn't much different than asking them on the phone. I do think facebook is pushing it a little bit, though.

 

[Aidinthel]

Just asking them out? That should be fine. Now, asking them to marry you through text, that would be tacky.
