A phone call and the reason is this, yes women love love to text and now a days most don't like to talk on the phone, they would much rather text, guys on the other would rather call then text. When a girl texts a guy we are just oh ok cool she texted me so what she's probably texting everyone else in her phone also, so what doesn't mean anything. Unless she texts in the middle of the night saying something like I am lonley and want you to come over, well that's a different story. But if its just a hey what's up text then we are like what does that mean, it could mean she's into you, or it could mean she's bored and just wanted to text you, but when she calls you and you actually talk on the phone it could mean that she's into you, because like I said women don't really like to call. If I want to go on a date with a girl I will call her and set up a date, to me that shows that I have the balls to actually call her instead of sending it in a text, might as well just ask her on instant messanger.

For me, I think it depends on how close I am to the girl - like, if we just met, I feel more comfortable emailing or texting. But, after I get to know the girl and feel more comfortable with her, I may call her once or twice a week. Guys also fear rejection, so whatever feels most comfortable for them is what they will probably do. So, like, if you make sure your guy knows that you truly do like him and aren't going to reject him, he may feel more comfortable talking to you on the phone early on in the relationship. Also, when relationships get more comfortable, the two of you can just text and email each other all the time and not think twice about it. This shows that the two of you really trust each other. At any rate, these are just some opinions - everybody is different.

+1 yMe and my guy have only ever texted and emailed eachother.
He says he likes phone calls but I don't know-- I hate talking on the phone!
Especially with him. I can talk to him on MSN or in public just fine but it's something about phone calls.
Actually, I bet I'd be fine! I'm still not going to initiate this phone call though. =P10 Reply
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI think it depends on the guy, and what situation he's in, whether he's busy to talk, or not. Once I rang a guy, and he didn't know why I was ringing, but he said something like 'nice to hear the sound of your voice' so I guess calling is nice! :). But the txt is more convenient for him to reply to, because he can do it any time nearly.

I am going to agree with most of the men and say call. Its just something about the voice that makes it great. Listening to the voice is just on of the things on the list that lets know if you are iinto that person or not.

I think guys would rather get a phone call. I know I would. Sometimes through text or email it comes across wrong, with a phone call they can hear your voice and know exactly what you mean and how you meant it.

+1 yGuys love hearing a girl's voice, especially if they're at least somewhat into her. The sound of a voice can trigger all sorts of dormant sentiments.
A little while ago, I made a personal vow never to text/FB a girl whom I liked and whose number I had. I've been having a lot more success now. Not only do I probably come off as more confident, but my personality and sense and humour can be transmitted in just a few shifts in tone, whereas in writing, I might have to write entire paragraphs.
A disinterested guy is not going to suddenly fall for you because you called. But if he has some interest, it will certainly pique his interest more.10 Reply
+1 yI think you should text them saying ill phone you in an hour soo the guy is prepared and you can have a good talk :) cos guys need time to prepare for these things lol. Texting is good on days you don't feel like saying much to each other but phone calls once a week are amazing and make you feel great afterwards if you have a good intimate chat :) but why don't you just meet up anyways :P
50 ReplyA PHONE CALL! seriously I love hearing the voice I find that sound is so much more of a treat than a quick text.
DAMN YOU CELLPHONE COMPANY'S! DAMN YOU FOR MAKING OUR LIVES CONVENIANT WITH TEXT MSGING! and omg you hv got 2 get dwn her b4 I blow a fews.30 ReplyTry to call. Most effective!
People can misinterpret text messages and e-mails (I do it ALL the time)
Meeting is the best.
Verbal impact of communication only accounts for 7% percent of communication.
Tone, speed and inflection of our voice make up the remaining 38%.
The bulk of our communication comes across in our appearance and body language, comprising 55%.
So you want to fit in the most into the message.30 Reply
+1 yI would really love the phone call. Anyone can write whatever they want but when you get the phone call, you not only can hear the person's voice but by the tone of their voice you can tell what they are feeling and if it is authentic or not. Yes, all are an action but it shows me the most if she takes times out of her day and I can talk to her and hear her voice versus a text and e-mail where they are written and I can't be sure how long I will have to wait to hear back from her.

+1 yI for one, am not a person that likes to talk to a girl on the phone all day or night. I prefer texting because there's usually no awkward silences :X. Sometimes I run out of things to say, and it becomes in embarrassing to just sit there in silence like if your asleep.
Some of my friends agree with me, but on the other hand, others beg to differ.10 Reply- 573 opinions shared on Other topic.
+1 yI get free texting.
Plus, I don' t like talking on the phone. too much distance.
I'd prefer a girl text me if she wants to hang out.
I don't want a long phone conversation,
I don't want an ongoing textual escapade,
and I don't want to read an email unless there's a link to a funny Youtube video.
I usually just want to be contacted to prompt me to see her in person.
Texting is the quickest, and most convenient way to do that.10 Reply - 1K opinions shared on Other topic.
+1 yPhonecall. I seldom check my email and I can't stand the idea of texting. It just seems so juvenile!
Honestly if a guy likes you he's going to say yes to you asking him out regardless of the medium you choose, but if he's sitting on the fence, whether you make the phonecall or not might mean the difference. It shows that you're bold and unafraid, and just a little bit pushy in a good kind of way.00 Reply I hate being emailed. But its preferred for me at least, to get phone calls when I'm not busy. If I text you earlier saying I'm busy then I'd prefer to get a text over a call. Its sort of situational.

+1 yText because it's easy and boys like easy! Haha
The occasional call will make him feel special but don't make the call TOO long unless this guy is chatty. But a text first, then a call, email last resort.10 ReplyI would say phone call. If the guy is really shy or quiet, then texting is also good but like said before, it may come across wrong. Even though it seems easy, a phone call can put pressure on the guy unless he really really knows u

+1 yEmail is terrible >.< I don't think I've ever emailed a friend. Anyyyyyways, I choose text- easier and less pressure.
40 ReplyIt depends on the situation, if it's in the evening then I'd prefer a phone. If during the day and I am at work, text or email is better.
30 Replyi say text.unless you are in a place where yoiu are able to make the call but texting is so much easier and then you can remember what you said/plans because you have the text :)

+1 yI know for a fact most men aren't about phone calls or letters/emails.so I'd go with texting out of the three.but if anything they pprefer face to face because they are physical and visual beings.
11 ReplyI rather texting I'm use to it but the guy I'm seeing now rather me call he claims that he likes hearing my voice. But I think the general male population is better with a phone call!
10 ReplyI agree with a phone call, but it also depends. If you're busy with something and you can't talk on the phone at the moment(at work, in school, etc.) then a text would probably be the most appropriate. Then email when you either can't text or sending a long message.
10 ReplyCall. hearing a girl voice is so much better. text or email can alway come across wrong as in you may mean one thing but the other person may think it meant another thing

+1 yCall unlss your one of those people who never seem to stop talking and there seems to be no way to gert away from you, if that is the case then a text will suffice
00 Replywell I know many guys who hate talking over the phone they rather prefer a text, e-mails doesn't work at all
10 ReplyA phone call. Its great when a girl calls. Shows she is really interested
20 ReplyI would much rather receive a phone call. You can't understand a girl's tone through a text or email. I also like hearing her voice. I think it also shows you care enough about the guy to take the time to call him.
30 ReplyAny communication from a nice girl is always appreciated
So to me, it doesn't matter20 Reply
+1 yWell I like to talk on the phone and I also like to text it really depends on what I'm doing say I was laying down I, I'm likely to talk on the phone more than text. It really doesn't matter though as long as I communicate with the person.
