Sometimes we all need a little help navigating the choppy waters of dating when tech gets tossed into the mix, which is why geeksugar and I have teamed up for another installment of Tech Dating 101. Last week, we talked about canceling a date via text, and this week we're discussing whether or not texting and making calls during your date is acceptable dinner etiquette.
Can I text and make phone calls during a date without being rude?

Whether you're a phone person or not, there are usually certain calls you take no matter what. Maybe it's your mom, your sister, or your best friend, but I'm curious to know how many of you always pick up when it's your significant other calling!

Even if they're living under the same roof or have plans to meet up after work, I know many couples that still touch base multiple times throughout the day. I think it's really sweet, but communication overload can be irritating for friends and co-workers when the incessant phone calls become disruptive. When I'm in a relationship, I like to share all the excitement of my day with him in person, but what about you?

Many of you are not a fan of the phone unless it’s to talk to someone who you couldn’t otherwise. Even though it’s less personal, I agree that something about talking on the phone can seem a bit intimidating and awkward. Unfortunately, you really can’t escape it, especially since other people may not feel the same way you do.

Last night I was catching up with a girlfriend and our conversation went straight to her date from the previous week. They went out on Thursday night, had a great time, and kissed goodnight, but as of Monday, she still hadn't heard from him. After lamenting for a while, the inevitable question was asked: why didn't he call?

Dear Sugar,
I have been hanging out with this guy for over seven months — I am 28 and he is 37. We normally talk every day and see each other twice a week. I recently got a divorce and he was hurt very badly in a past relationship so neither one of us are looking for anything too serious, although we have had sex which I guess developed some type of closeness.

After a terrible break-up, one that lasted months and involved a lot of mixed signals from your ex, your friends decide to take you out to celebrate your newly single status. In your less than sober state, you end up spilling the grittiest details to your friends about all the not-so-nice things he said and did. Before you know it, one of your girlfriends has made off with your cell phone to give your ex a piece of her mind.

A mom can catch a break without enlisting the help of her partner or a babysitter — all she needs is the phone. Whether you miss your friends or crave adult conversation, you can have both in the comfort of a pair of sweats on your couch.
Blow off the dishes and let the laundry pile up.

Today is International Thank You Day. While thank you notes are the most common way for people to formally communicate thanks, busy moms sometimes have a hard time accomplishing the task — especially when they are writing for their entire brood.
So opt for an acceptable alternative and call the person to whom you are grateful.

DearSugar and Bewildered Bethany need your help. I think we have all been there: the guy you have a crush on doesn't call even through he acts like he will. Grr, it's utterly the most frustrating thing ever, so do any of you have some words of wisdom for so many women who are in the same boat as Bethany?
