Club First Date....Where they do that at?

So I meet a lil cutie at the club...well that was the first mistake. He was 6ft and better, cold black like I like em with a body like I like em. So we have minimal conversation for about a week and not to my surprise we had nothing in common or any chemistry. Then he was like we should go out on a date. I have never been one to turn down free. So he rescheduled one time...red flag #2, he proceeds to ask me to go out with him at 11pm on U St. I was like what....I don't do club first dates homey. How are we suppose to talk or get to know each other if I can't even here you over the music? Oh I know because that was not your intention...I am not street puntang...lol! I have never been asked that in all my years of dating...I'm too old for that I like to do other things.

I haven't talked to him since was I wrong? Would you go on a club first date...why or why not?

Hey Can I TEXT You....(Texting vs. Calling)

I have noticed that when meeting guys nowadays when they ask for your phone number it is not to have an actual phone conversation but to TEXT you. One of the perks of texting a person you have just met are.....hmmm I will wait....that everything will be misinterpreted or you can put in a minimal amount of effort. I met this bouncer at a club over the weekend mind you I don't remember when the numbers where exchanged * see birthday boo post* and he text me the other day his life story.

Bouncer: Hey how are you?
Me: Fine and U?
Bouncer: Well whats your stats?
Me: Huh?
Bouncer: I'm 26, Divorced, One Son, play basketball, work all day and work the part time at the club, I like to work out
Me: Thanks for your life story but what happened to saying your doing fine
Bouncer: I hope you are not worried about my ex and the fact that I am divorced because we get a long well and have no problems so there is nothing to be worried about

I proceeded to no response mode. Now let's analyze this. He could have just been trying to be straight up with me from the beginning or was nervous about having that convo. Texting can make people BOLD because they can avoid having to think on their feet or that immediate reaction. Which is not the type of person for me. I don't know maybe I am a little old school but this is not a text conversation and a bit much. On top of that he clearly was not following the conversation.

This is a bit of an extreme case but in my conversations with people the word is out that many guys are opting to text rather than call especially with such things as
-I'm going to be late or I'm not coming home tonight
-Hey, how are you - that way they don't have to hear us ramble because we are not going to text everything that happened that day

and so on and so on.......How do you feel about texting vs. calling?
