Is it ok to ask someone out or dump them by email or sms?

Even though we do so many things via technology these days, is it proper etiquite to ask someone out or dump them by email or sms? It is easier, but it's not as personal or romantic.

I wouldnt think so
but a lot of people do it
asking out someone is easier to people if they cant bring themselves to do it in person
but dumping someone over either is pretty shallow
and is usually done by people who want to avoid confrontation

I personally think its really low to break up with someone that way, but whatever floats your boat.

its really harsh to break up with somewith by texting them it has happened to me befroe it isnt really nice.

That's pretty harsh to be honest. And asking them out? the girl won't respect you as much or feel special. Unless you live miles away try to do it face to face or at least do it on the phone.

Honestly doing either one shows you're kinda cowardly... It really isnt about etiquette, I think it's more to do with respect, when you break up with someone, have the decency to do it to their face...

asking out borderline dumping no way.

That would be total cowardice... and pathetic...

ask out- yes, dump-no

asking out yes... its not a real problem you just ask want to go out for a coffee
dumping no, thats just too low

Just so you know, I'm not going to do it, I was just wondering what everyone else thinks.

haha is it ok? you can do whatever the heck you want to do. if your old enough to date, your old enough to make your own decisions

I think its okay to ask them out by text, but to dump them by text, nope. I wouldn't like to be dumped by text nor would I dump someone by text..

Saying that the next day I was dumped by text
