Guy I met online rarely text me but he suddenly texts to ask me out for a meal. What does it mean?

Probably shy. Just finally built up the courage to hit send on asking you out for a date.

He wants you to have a meal with him. He probably likes you.

He ran out of options and now you're off the back burner.

Some people just aren't good at texting or dont like it

It means he wants to take you on a date... duh

[In_Trance]

it means he wants to go out with you

But what's his actual intention. Cause 9 rarely know this guy, he has my number but rarely text me but suddenly one day invites me out for a meal. Cause I thought u have to build chemistry first through text before asking the girl out. We don't even have chemistry through text messages & I don't feel anything towards him for now since he rarely text me...

[In_Trance]

You have to go out with him to find out

@asker
You don't 'build chemistry' through texting. It's impossible.

[Wise4myage]

He's interested in getting to know you?
