    If you communicate via text regularly, I think it's OK to text. If not, communicate how you do regularly. :smile:

    If you are true to yourself and real about this, then dont text, be real about it and say it to his face.... that means more than some text.

    You can rent billboard space that he'll see while driving on his daily route to work or whatever. Make a real splash.

    If you text with him, text him. It's just coffee; you're not proposing.

    Don't over think it. Text him, call him, e-mail him, ask him face to face. Its not like your going to tell him you like him until you spend time with him, right?
    This is the easy part, thinking of how your going to confess your feelings for him is what you should focus on right now.

    If you see him in person regularly, ask in person.

    Glad to see you taking initiative. Guys like that in a woman.

    Not a dude, but if you regularly text, I'd just text!

    Also, dudes (at least the ones I know) totally love it when girls make the first move like this! good luck!

    I would almost agree that if you normally text to go ahead and text. But, if you want him to know that this "asking him out" and not just a 'hey, let's get coffee as friends" thing then I'd do it face to face. Nonverbal communication can be very helpful!

    Do it in whatever fashion you like, make some hints, like do you want to get together for coffee sometime or maybe I have to go downtown shopping or whatever and thought we could get together for coffee. Leaving it open ended, if he doesn't bite, then maybe your interest is not mutual between both of you. If he bites on the bait, you know you got him hooked, you got the whole enchilada, :flowerforyou: but if he can't find the time or the right moment, maybe he doesn't feel as strongly about you as you think. At that point do you want to continue as just friends or the other side of the coin, dump him. :ohwell:

    Geez people it's just coffee. Just text him, and make sure you have a place in mind.

    If you text with him, text him. It's just coffee; you're not proposing.

    So I SHOULDN'T propose to someone over a text?
    ****.

    But seriously, just shoot him a text. Or a quick phone call, "Hey, we should grab some coffee! What's your schedule like?"
