that they have communicated with their date or mate via text messaging
in 2007, an increase of 6 percent over last year. Twenty eight percent
of users say that they use text messaging to flirt. Some more
interesting stats:

  • 12% have used text messaging news as a conversation starter with a date or
    mate
  • 8% have ended a relationship over rude or offensive cell
    behavior (driving, perhaps?)
  • 5% have called someone else they were interested in from a cell phone
    while on a date, and 7% reported that their date had done so
  • 6% have judged a prospective date by the phone they use
