Are “I’m outside” messages okay or is it better to get down and knock when picking someone up for a date?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

“I’m outside” messages are fine.

Get down and knock.

[Jazzy54]

LAZY. Get out of the car and ring the doorbell.

[douride2]

No. Go to the door & knock.

[douride2]

Thanks for a MHO.

[Pinay_ako]

Nah. Get out of your car and knock on my door. You ain’t my Uber.

[asphaltrhymes]

Hmm, I feel like it does give off a vibe to say "I'm outside" but that's ironic even for me to say or write because, I guess in my earlier 20s, and I'm not even a dating guy, nowadays I'd think "gee, that sounds a bit odd or a bit cringey" ahaha, awk laughter nervously, and then unsettled slightly vibes. So anyways, yeah why people text I'm outside, ahahaha 😆😆😜😆

Totally fine to text. Most probably they would already be outside so you don’t have to.

Going to the door can often be seen as odd. And it totally depends of where they live. If they live in a house or have their door accessible from the street it’s less odd than if they’re in an apartment building… cause then you would probably not even be able to get into the building without keys or a tag.

Sending a message that you are outside is super cheesy and lazy.

Besides, how will you open the car door for her if you don't get out? You were planning on opening the car door for her, right?

[Anonymous]

Depends. If she lives alone, I'll go to the door and probably makeout with her a little before we go.
If she doesn't live alone, I'll just wait outside. I don't wanna meet her stupid friends and family

[pethouse]

Lollll

[Sasha0426]

You sound delightful. Any woman is lucky to have you 🙄

[pethouse]

Hahahaha

[Opinion Owner]

Lol..

[JustMeL120]

I am outside some girl might like because it shows boundary and independence. Depends in the girl like clingy guys or not.

[razelove]

Just knock, you'll never have casual sex by texting, but you will when "I'm inside" get it? HAHAHA!

[TrueConfection]

Eew... No. Show some interest and go knock.

[Sparkie460]

If you're picking her up for a date go knock on the door

[najekim]

Proper etiquette says to go to the door. Shows respect.

[Akam93]

Usually you would come to the door.
