Thanks for the posts, I've read them all and used the advice you all have given. Let me summarize what has happened.
After reading the posts here, I decided that texting was a good way to start off. I've done it before, and it would definitely be less awkward than going right in with a phone call. It ended up working pretty well. Flirtatious and fun.
Well, as you all know, when two people are flirty with each other, you have to strike when the iron is hot. And when I say strike when the iron is hot, I mean ask the girl out before she loses interest. I decided that given the level of comfort we shared through our texts that I could step it up and call her to ask her out. Even though we shared some good texts with each other, I was still worried about calling her.
I took the advice to make an outline and practiced it for hours and prepared for just about any turn the conversation could take. It was a maddening evening for me. I even called 10-15 stores and restaurants just to ask random questions to build my phone talking confidence (I'm a computer nerd and hardly spend time talking to people on my phone). Finally at about 10:24pm, I felt fully prepared to call her. Nervous, but still prepared. I called her and the worst thing ever happened. She didn't even pick up! All that work for nothing!
She would see that I tried calling so I decided sending her a text wouldn't be so wussy after all, because I was man enough to try calling her, right? Anyway, I just got a positive response for hanging out tomorrow.
Now, should I call her or just text for the plans I have tomorrow?
I'm leaning more towards calling her ...
