Nowadays, guys don’t even have to ask for girls’ phone numbers anymore. We just look you up on Facebook! Unfortunately, some of you still get annoyed when you get asked out online. So, in the spirit of opening the lines of communication, here are the top ten reasons we’d rather use Facebook to ask you out, instead of doing so over the phone or in person:

10. Our Facebook photo is the one photo in existence where we look halfway decent, and we’re hoping you were too drunk to remember what we actually look like in real life.

9. We were too drunk to remember what you actually look like in real life, but hey, you look halfway decent in your Facebook photo!

8. 200 million users on Facebook. Somebody out there’s gotta like us.

7. We’re dyslexic and keep thinking we’re still on Match.com.

6. We’re actually doing you a favor by not putting you on the spot. We’re also giving you time to craft a rejection message that won’t destroy our fragile self esteem. So, make it good!

5. We’re much more charming and witty when we have hours and hours to slave over the best line to use to ask you out. Having said that….

4. This way, we only have to type out our best line once (“Hey there, it was nice meeting you the other night. Holla!!! LOL, maybe we can meet up for a drink sometime. Hit me up if you wanna….”) and then just copy-and-paste it to the ten other girls we’re currently asking out.

3. If we at least get you to add us first, we’ll get to see what hot friends you have. If they’re hot enough, we might not have to ask you out after all.

2. Our girlfriends check our cell phones. Insane jealous bitches! Why can’t they just trust us?!? Oh wait, oh yeah….

And the Number One reason we’d rather use Facebook to ask you out:

1. We misplaced our testicles.

    #11 We still think we’re in High School

  7. Margaret Da' Magnificent says:

    meg – more so than ever imagined :P lammme
    dennis – hahaha thanks! i like the sarcastic approach you took

  8. Meg Pierce says:

    So is it usually random guys? Or guys you see in real life? I think my friend said there was a guy from high school who asked a bunch of girls out on facebook.

  9. Margaret Da' Magnificent says:

    i hear all types:

    bar/club setting, he guy ask for your number, instead finds you on facebook and goes from there

    playing online games and start chatting up with other members playing…goes from there…

    checking out your friend’s friends list and adding people they find attractive…goes from there

    it’s just funny to see how the dating game has really expanded with the new wave of communication

    personally i find it really passive and much too convenient. but that’s just me.

  10. Amy Woodson says:

    they forget that everyone can see what you post on other people’s walls… assuming they’re stupid enough to send the same message to multiple girls, they’ll be stupid enough not to adjust their privacy settings.

  11. Kimmy Bui says:

    I really do find enjoyment reading your thoughts!! brings me great joy!

  12. Christopher R. Ryan says:

    I think number one nailed it man. That is sad.

  13. Jennifer Hamilton says:

    Love it! I’ve always been a fan of your sense of humor. Miss ya!

  14. Bonnie Clyde says:

    debate vs. dialogue.

    you say tomato, i say toh-mah-toe. it’s all good. i’ll eat it whichever way you say it. :D

  18. Duder says:

    This is the opposite of funny

  19. Dennis Hong says:

    Awesome! We have our first troll. Now we know we’ve made it.

  20. Rebecca says:

    Not saying I agree with “Duder” (and seriously? Duder? Classy name) but not thinking you’re funny doesn’t automatically make someone a troll. Just putting that out there.

  21. Pavel says:

    pure genius

  22. Erie says:

    Hey, online games aren’t so bad. It’s the ones who see you in epic gear and immediately ask you out that should be avoided. :P

  23. Dennis Hong says:

    @Rebecca: You’re right. It’s just that when Duder posted, this was pretty much an unknown blog that only my friends read. Now that we’re getting more traffic… bring on the hate! :-)

  24. Anonymous says:

    I heard Dennis likes midgets.

  25. Rey says:

    So what if I didn’t happen to get her phone number when her and all our friends were together at the bar and I probably won’t see her again until weeks or even months in the future? I suppose I shouldn’t complain, it’s these arbitrary rules that make dating SO MUCH FUN.
