How To Know a Girl Is Open to a FaceTime Call
Not everyone is comfortable with FaceTime calls, especially if the two of you are not close acquaintances. We can attribute the aforementioned to the fact that you need the person’s phone number or registered email address to even FaceTime, and some people don’t like sharing their personal contact information.
Alternatively, they could be shy or just not interested in you. For those reasons, it’s imperative to have a rough idea that the other person is interested in the FaceTime call before you ask them to avoid rejection.
Here are a few indications you can look out for.
If They Answer Your Texts Promptly
One clear indication that the girl you are pursuing is equally into you is if they answer your texts promptly. This means they take time out of their day to engage with you, and they might enjoy how the conversation flows.
Assuming you and the said girl are talking via a dating site or social media, asking FaceTime is one way to find out if they wish to explore the newfound connection further, considering they will have to give you their contact information.
Hint at It and Asses Their Reaction
Instead of straight out asking the person to FaceTime, you can start to hint at it, and by their reaction, you will be able to assess whether or not to continue. For example, when you have an unrelated conversation, mention that you love video calls, then wait for their reaction.
