Puhlease.

It is not an age thing.

99 times out of 100, I would much rather text than talk on the phone and I am 37.

But I do find it sad that so many people have their faces buried in their phones instead of out looking at the world.

I would rather not hear anything back at all then a "I'll text you later" or "I'll let you know" and then have them not follow through. It displays weakness and lack of finesse on their part. And if someone literally texts that they are a bad texter, then you can use that to transition into face to face conversation, a date. If they are still flaky or decline, then they are not interested and you can go on to the next woman.

I'm glad I'm back in the habit of leaving my phone at home when I go out socially.

Riiight.
Frequent checking of messages does not mean time to respond to every damned one right away. Get over yourself.

I'm with you on this.

I just got back into the dating scene and everybody damn texts! Does anyone use the phone anymore? I'm old school and dated pre-cell phones. Damn technology!

Eh, for me it depends. Me and my dude text periodically throughout the day and even though both of us hate talking on the phone, we end up talking almost daily.

I still like texting though. When I'm at work I man the radios and can't stop and chat for 20 minutes, but texting is perfectly fine.
