If you are messaging a girl on social media but you ask if you can text her, is that a dumb question because in theory you are already contacting her?

I don’t think so, a lot of people like to take the conversation out of social media and switch to texting bcs it’s much more personal. You can talk to anyone on social media but you can only text people that have your personal phone number/vice versa.

But neither are really communicating. You could be talking to anyone.

Just text her, if she takes a good bit to respond she is either busy or not interested
Don’t overthink it and be yourself

it means you want her phone number, but yes a dumb way to ask, as you wrote. instead ask if you can call to talk.
