Amanda's reaction to: "Call or text? That is the question."

The last time I was asked for my phone number was in the subway after some creep stared me up and down the entire ride. Then proceeded to follow me out of the train calling me "fragile", "precious" and some other corny words. I told him I had a boyfriend but that didn't seem to phase him. I think I finally learned my lesson not to talk to strangers...and maybe also never to travel alone again.
So if you're a genuinely nice guy that doesn't need to use some pick up line or form of excessive flattery to get a girls number and you just want to get to know her, I would suggest texting first. You can tell a lot by a text. Plus, everything could go downhill fast in a phone call with awkward silences and someone putting their foot in their mouth.




pros and cons about texting
(&what you can learn about the other person):

+ you can use smilies :D
- if the other person responds with only 1 word..all the time, BOOORING
+ girls can squeal and show all their friends the sweet and charming comments the guy makes
- guys can embarrass the girl by exposing her personal information to all his friends
+ you can see if the other person knows how to spell correctly
- you can't hang up on the other person
+ you can count how many times they ask questions about you or count how many times they just talk about themselves
- your text might end up on textsfromlastnight.com
+ there is always the option to not respond!
