Calling vs. texting when "getting to know someone"?

[SGM]

1) Girls should NOT text first. The guys who ask you to text are wimps.
2) You should have a couple IM chats first to see if they are decent guys.
3) Then have a couple video chats before you give your number out.
4) If he won't video chat, he is lying about who he is. Delete him.

You are exactly right by calling these guys out when they ask you to text 'to get to know you better.' They should give a real reason based on something in your profile. Maybe "Hi, Coco. I saw in your profile you like horses. I used to go horseback riding a few years ago. I'd like to chat and see if we have any other things in common to talk about. Tommy. (Oklahoma, age 19.)"
