+1 yI honestly like phone number better. Maybe because I don't have Instagram or Snapchat. In social media, it's easier for her to reject you and the sad thing is that you don't even have a chance to make an impression before the rejection. I would say social media does give her fewer pressure to move forward if she wishes not to. For phone number, you have that direct contact with her. It also shows that you are interested in her without really telling her.
Either way, you might want to gauge her interest before deciding. If you feel that you hit it off well, then ask for her number. If you think she is interested, but may be a little iffy, then try social media.00 Reply

+1 yIt might depend how you met her as well as how she likes to communicate with people. If she is a classmate or works at the same company, she might initially be more comfortable with social media (I'm linked with all of my former colleagues). Women I have met online have wanted to share social media. Business contacts are phone number and then later social media.
I met a woman the other day and simply asked her if she'd like to keep in touch. She gave me her phone number.00 Reply
+1 yFor myself and most people that I know, social media followings are very impersonal. I follow/am followed by hundreds of classmates, friends of friends and people that I met at events around the city, many if not most I never really chatted with after meeting. It's nice when we exchange "happy birthday" messages and a like or two, but it usually doesn't go beyond that.
Texting/calling is very different, more personal and between two parties. This is how've my friends and I make actual plans. With this said, I recommend getting a number, but it doesn't hurt to just ask, as some people prefer to communicate through social media.00 Reply
Easy, giving out different mediums mean different things (at least for me and my closer friends):
If I give a guy my instagram, I just want to be friends. Snapchat, more than friends but nothing seriously romantic, more like a casual fling/friends with benefits. But if i give out my number, I'm definitely hoping to be asked out romantically.
If you want to legitimately date her, ask for her number. Sliding in her IG dms probably won't make her feel special and every time a guy asks for my SC I assume it's just because he wants nudes.00 Reply
+1 yPhone number, no question. I won’t give outs my snap until I know someone well because it’s a stupid way to communicate and an even worse way to get to know someone.

Phone number. I think it's rude when a female wants to just refer you to her social media, as if that's not fake and impersonal enough, and any girl who would prefer that really just wants you to give her more attention and validation there.
I asked a girl on my job once for her number, and she just said, "Mmmmm, you can follow me on Facebook." Like wtf? I don't wanna follow you Facebook!00 ReplyIf a man were to ask me, I would prefer him to ask for my number. On social media I think it's so distant, but with phone number both can call eachother.
50 ReplyPhone number. Social media gives them too much access, including photos of my kids. Of course I don’t have to worry about that as I’m married and I met my husband through his work and through our kids.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yWhatever you want more. I prefer social media because then we can also look at each other's posts and interact. It's more fun. Eventually if things progress then I'd continue on phone, but if things go south then at least we can just block each other, phone numbers stay.

+1 yDefinitely phone number that way I can control how much insight you're getting into my life especially since I have kids.

+1 yIn all honesty, if parts were reversed, I would have answered "neither". I do not use any social media aside for super impersonal ones (like this one and Interpals. net) and I don't give my number away to people I haven't known in person for at least some weeks.
Might be a little old fashioned, but you know, trust issues.00 Reply
+1 ySocial media, I don’t post much on social media anyways and it’d let me see what kind of person he is on his accounts. Also, easier to block and move on.
20 ReplyAsk for her phone number then give her your social media accounts so she could investigate about you before entertaining your messages. Lol. This may sound unfair but this is how I prefer boys do.

What if U don'tdo social media?
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yFor me, personally, I go straight for the snapchat. Phone number is good, but it doesn't do much. every time I go straight for the snapchat, I can talk to her, tease her with flirty images, and send near nudes to entice her and get her curious. Honestly... thanks to a good combination of flirty banter and sending revealing photos, I have fucked a lot of women that way. That is actually how I seduced my girlfriend, and we have been dating for a year and a half.
00 ReplySocial media... but if you do that than you might not seem very classy it depends on her personality mostly

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yPhone. I think going through people’s social accounts can get in the way of getting to know each other. Social is just a snapshot, not the truth of the person.
