When it comes to dating, I like phone calls for the very reason that it shows I am important enough to put aside other things and call. I also don't mind emails in addition to calls, since I am not a phone person and don't want to be on it too much.


Multi-Tasking means talking to moe than one guy at a time? I see now

Any multi-tasking is deadly for your soul and inner peace. Makes you antsy and anxious. I know it's true from experience! Wish I could get some job away from the damn computers altogether! Wish I had the discipline to even get rid of mine!

I will give you three reasons why I personally hate to use the phone.

1. People are rude morons. Every time I am on the telephone, people insist on sticking their head into my space and start asking me questions and trying to talk to me EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN SEE I AM ON THE PHONE. So I either have to try to carry on two separate conversations at the same time or just hang up!

2. Cell Phone reception is horrible. Half the time I cannot hear what they are saying and have to ask them to repeat themselves. I spend 50 percent of my calls saying..."excuse me? What did you just say? Your phone was breaking up".

3. People who are on the phone often sit there and make faces and roll their eyes to other people who are nearby. Yes, I do it. So do you. I don't like the idea that I am trying to carry on a conversation with someone and they are sitting there making fun of me to someone else. (Ok so I'm paranoid). Besides with text messages or emails you have something in writing that you can refer to again later, or written proof, if necessary.

If someone wants to call me, they need to do it on my landline. I don't keep a lot of minutes on my cell phone, and don't want to waste it with mindless blather. And really, if it's very short and informational, I'd rather receive a text.

"Hey, I'm at the store. Do you want me to pick up anything?" That's short. "No" is even shorter. One or two items is not worth a CALL . A grocery list...is.

Yes or no answers. "Where are you?", things like that.
