For a guy asking a woman out is not always easy.  If you barely know her then its difficult to know what to say let alone when to say it!  Often times she has friends around her and its difficult to get her undivided attention.

Texting is one way of asking a woman out on a date and can strangely enough be considered quite intimate and personal!  Who would have thought?  If you are one of those guys that tends to freeze when confronted by a beautiful woman, then texting can help ease the nervousness of being put on the spot.

When you meet a woman you really like and you have no idea what to say then taking her phone number may initially be your best move.  Texting is great because it relieves that pressure of saying just the right thing at the right time, or it avoids that awkward silence you so often have when you meet someone new.  The greatest thing about texting is that it removes the anxiety and gives you the confidence to perhaps say what you wouldnt necessarily say face to face!

With texting you can quickly ascertain a woman's level of interest in you.  In fact when texting you can sometimes miss a few steps in the traditional dating game as there isnt that need for nervousness or shyness in a face to face interaction.  Of course the face to face meeting will come but strangely enough when it does, there are so many hurdles you will already have overcome!

The greatest thing about texting is it really does allow you to be a little bold and perhaps express yourself more directly than you otherwise would.  Texting really is here to stay and a great way to first begin talking to a woman you are interested in dating and in fact, texting your partner can sometimes be a very intimate experience only shared by the two of you!

I caught up with a friend for a coffee recently and she was telling me how had just had her regular session with her counsellor.  Being  recently married for the second time she told me there were so many issues surrounding her relationship that regular sessions helped her understand the important aspects of intimacy.

Interestingly enough she handed me a sheet of paper from her Counsellor outlining various aspects of intimacy and asked me if I felt I was ready for a relationship again.  Here’s what I read:

Communication Intimacy – Connecting with your partner through talking.  Sure I can do that I thought, that’s a no brainer.

Creative Intimacy – Sharing expressions of love in creative ways.  Hmm not sure I can remember how to do that, I guess it would come back to me with practise!

Emotional Intimacy – Being in tune with each other’s emotions.  Sure I can remember being in tune with someone like that but not convinced I want to be again..

Financial Intimacy – Developing a unified plan for budgeting, spending etc.  Well hmm, for a minute there I thought she said financial dependency and I nearly forgot everything then and there and went out and found myself a man!  Then I realised it was all about joining funds together and having to discuss what gets spent on what…ah no thanks.

Last but no least, Conflict Intimacy – Facing and struggling with differences together.  That’s where I really had to draw the line..Having been in a relationship for a very long time and trusting someone beyond anything to find out when it really mattered, when it was a life or death situation that there was no facing of a struggle together I had to wish for dear friend all the best in her relationship.

Yes negative I know, and perhaps one day I will be ready and willing to understand the complex issues of intimacy in a relationship but until then…its singledom for me!
