Leaving a powerful voicemail

[alpha_ash]

So we're all busy during the day time and its rare that I will ever be able to answer a girl's call, let alone have time for a conversation. I expect women to be almost as busy as I am. As a result, when I call, I don't expect them to pick up during the day time for whatever reason. My concern is that I don't want to sound weak when leaving a voicemail, where I tell them the reason I am calling for: asking her out on a date.

"Hey this is Alpha. I was just calling to check what your plans were for Sunday afternoon. I want to go to go the museum and want you to join me. Call me back when you get a chance."

I feel like because we're all so busy with our lives (school, work, family, etc.) it is very difficult to talk on the phone. It is way easier to text and set up a date that way. Unfortunately you can't gauge the tone, pause, "hmm", "uhhh"s through a text, which are indicators of interest, or rather disinterest.

Please advise great DJs.

"Hi, this is Darth. I hope you are well today. When you get the chance, give me a call back. I want to see what your plans are for the weekend." click.
Personally, I would wait to ask until I was actually on the phone to propose a date.

I wouldn't ever leave a voice mail. If you leave a vm you have no way to come back from this if she doesn't respond.

Also leaving a vm means you are waiting for her response. Don't leave a vm, she gets a missed call and maybe if she is interested this has some mystery.

I don't think there's anything "powerful" about talking to a machine.
