Asking someone out over text works best when you are specific and low-pressure. Vague invites like we should hang out sometime rarely turn into actual plans.
Suggest a real activity and a rough time, and make it easy to say yes. Confidence plus a concrete plan beats a wall of nervous text.
Propose an actual activity and a rough day. Lets get a drink Thursday is far stronger than we should hang out sometime.

Hoping they suggest it first wastes time. A clear, confident invite is attractive on its own.
Yes. Text is normal and low-pressure. Just be specific about the plan rather than vague, so it is easy for them to say yes.
Suggest one clear plan and keep it light. Do not over-explain or send multiple follow-ups. Confidence comes from a simple, direct invite.
If they offer another time, great. If they decline without rescheduling, take the hint gracefully and do not push.
