I'd rather tell a girl I like them online cause it's way less awkward, and then if you (officially) ask them out in person you know if they'll say yes or no, but what's your opinion?

Replies Megathrax Posted at 7:56 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Another thing I wonder... I happen to like a girl who I talk to online more than in person, and I'm thinking of telling her I like her on AIM or whatever. After I tell her and she either rejects me or (by some crazy chance) feels the same way, what should I do or say the next time I see her in person? Bud2400 Posted at 10:52 am on Nov. 10, 2008 It really depends on how often you speak to that person online.  Usually the best way to tell somebody you like them, or want to go out with them, is through the same medium of communication you usually use to talk to each other.  If it varies, or if you two talk online together quite a bit anyway, then telling her that you like her or want to go out would be perfectly acceptable, and to tell you the truth, a lot easier on your part.  There's nothing more or less "genuine" about it than doing it in person, so long as you two have an ability to read, and by that I mean read between the lines. fairylights Posted at 6:35 am on Nov. 10, 2008 Online/texting is great but you can never tell how genuine people are, maybe hint you like someone online but if it's something really important ask them face to face?

Then again, I live my life in a total bullshit mode meant to appease everyone else. princess timz Posted at 10:58 pm on Nov. 9, 2008 Online they might think it's a joke and say yes but in person they'll be like 'OMG I thought he was joking!' and most likely say no. But this doesn't always happen a guy asked my friend put by text and they lasted a few months. All 5 previous replies displayed.
