-- Posted by Megathrax at 10:56 pm on Nov. 9, 2008 Of course it's better to ask someone out in person, but what about just letting them know how you feel about them? 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? -- Posted by princess timz 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. -- Posted by The Last Magister at 10:59 pm on Nov. 9, 2008 In general, I tend to be more honest online. Then again, I live my life in a total bullshit mode meant to appease everyone else. -- Posted by fairylights 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? If someone said they liked me online I'd always wonder if it was just a joke.. -- Posted by Bud2400 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. -- Posted by Megathrax 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?
