this is why you txt a girl you just met. It lets you gather your thoughts before you say them. Call a girl after you've known her for a little while.
It makes sense. They do like the call more though assuming they pick up.

If I gave a guy my number and he texted me before calling me, it would be an instant turn-off. Maybe not enough to make me forget the guy altogether, but definitely bad. Once the texting starts, it never stops and communication suffers. Start out on a strong, confident foot - by showing her that you have enough faith in your verbal abilities to survive a phone conversation."
nobody cares about what you would think. My advice isn't geared towards picking up 30 or 40-something yr olds. Your generation has different social expectations. Even if you are in your 20s, I still think you're full of shit. Almost every girl I've called (the same goes for my guy friends) after getting their number doesn't pick up the first time, but they always respond promptly to a text message. So stfu.
She is 20. Honestly whether it is a text or a call I believe it should be a as my friend would put it a "non-issue" however I'm a guy so I don't make a big deal out of every little thing. I agree with you, they never pick up the first time and it isn't about us showing our confidence by calling them first but rather testing theirs if they will pick up. This is of course fail, women rarely have any confidence. Their reaction these days is "oh crap he is calling me and not texting..what do I do what do I do what do I do?!" That is why they need us to have so much of confidence because they lack any. I should have texted, specially the condition I was in. At least not pick up maybe. Live and learn. Today I don't care but it bugged me yesterday cause she was cool. I have no problem calling or texting.
anyway, I have her number. You think there is anything I can do. I think any action now honestly would make me look kind of silly so I don't think so.
