I'm totally cool with texts from people I know. If we have never met I prefer a phone call for several reasons. Text is too anonymous and is also very impersonal I need to hear a voice to even know if you are someone I want to spend time with. Many of the guys that text are just playing games and wasting time with no intention of booking an appointment. The other big thing for me is the time it takes to text numerous times. I prefer a simple 2-3 minutes phone conversation to texting back and forth for 30 minutes. Multiply that times 10 or more and I would literally be texting for hours each day.
