calendar invites are my love language

Key cultural scissor point: is it ever OK to send a calendar invitation for a social hang-out *without* having first proposed hanging out in another context (SMS)?

hm without previous mention, I'd probably assume it was a mis-send, even if from a close friend
I'd say ok but also likely to be misinterpreted and cause confusion
Yes, if the invite is movable and if the recipient->sender edge in the interest graph is extremely strong. Eg, you or Patrick could invite any number of folks, to their delight.

This is such an interesting question! Would default to no (seems like a blind intro), but can’t quite pinpoint to why. Maybe because calendar invites are not natively conversational — there is no easy and polite way for me to decline or ask details or suggest changes

Other responses in the thread suggest that is the case (eg ’). Eg the case when the invite is presumed so welcome that no more conversation is needed (even then, may want to avoid because of implied presumptuousness)
