According to a recent survey text messaging is actively used to flirt and communicate while dating. On the flipside, poor messaging etiquette can be the catalyst for a break-up and some are not above breaking up with someone 'wirelessly'.
Text messaging is also viewed as a fun distraction during a boring date and a great way to keep in touch with other potential love interests during bathroom breaks.
In addition, you may well be sized up by the type of phone you use, but your phone may also save you from an uncomfortable date.
