Texting itself is not new to me, but texting in the context of dating is.Back in the day, you asked a woman for her number and if you got it then you used it to ask her out. This was a sure date, because she would only give it out if she was interested to begin with. Sometimes women would give out fake numbers, but that's another story.Recently, I have been flirting with younger women and they are every quick to give out their numbers. I have two numbers from women without even really trying. Both of them said to text them sometime. Question is: What does that really mean? Should I ask them out? What sort of text are they expecting to get? Does that even mean they are interested, or are they texting about 50 guys? I am lost when it comes to the current dating scene.

 Texting is the new calling. It's really that simple.
Just send them a text explaining who you are, that is if they didn't take your number. Ask what they're doing this weekend. If there's no reply within a day, then they're not interested.
If girls give you their numbers while sober, then they're relatively interested. But that doesn't always mean you're the only guy they're chatting up.
Overall if you're not comfortable with texting just yet, then give them a ring and leave a voicemail.

 Texting is and can be fun. Its a way of communicating and opening up a bit before you meet. The kind of text they may be expecting is: How was your day? What have you been up to? Or like I'm really busy at work today but will give you a call later - and please make sure you call if you say that. Its just a way of keeping in touch. And its polite to reply to a text within 10-20 minutes and not after 2 or 3 days.
