Mkay, lemme set some background. The girl in question is a good friend of mine from school. We've known each other for about 7 years now. We have a lot of similar interests (for example, we're both on the debate team). Seeing as how I've never had a date (embarrassing to admit, I know) I figure she would be a fairly easy first choice based on how well we already know each other.
Now, I don't have her phone number, but I do have her AIM screename. What I am curious about is whether it is considered acceptable to set up dates using Instant Messanger.
For those of you who already know the answer, you're may be thinking that the question is a no-brainer. Unfortunately, for me it is not--I never learned manners very well. It would be nice to have a date with her but the friendship is too valuable to risk, so I want to make sure I know all the proper ettiquete (dear God I've forgotten how to spell) before I try it.
Thanks in advance.
