When it comes to dating in the 21st Century, the only thing you really need is a smartphone, thanks in no small part to the wonders of texting and the emergence of popular smartphone dating apps. Don’t believe us? It’s true. In fact, men in the past would do just about anything to get their hands on the little dating tool in your pocket that you’re taking for granted. Here are five ways that your smartphone is the best tool for dating invented yet.
Texting
Back in the day you used to have to agonize over phone calls. When’s the right time to call her? Have I waited three days before doing so? What if I call her too late in the evening? These were the questions that men used to ask themselves before picking up the phone and making a call. Now, you don’t have to ask yourself any of this. You just need to pick up the phone and text. There’s basically no wrong time to do it. What’s more, it doesn’t have the same emotional investment as a phone call. If she’s busy or doesn’t want to talk right then, she just won’t text back. You might have to wait a little while, but it’s a lot better than phone calls.
Phone Calls
But the phone call isn’t dead. Sure, you might not be the kind of guy who calls her on the phone just to have a chat. Still, you might need to have your phone on to make sure that the two of you meet when and where you’re supposed to. Or maybe you’re running late and you need to let her know before she leaves — with someone else. No matter what the reason, there will always be a need to have a phone. The smartphone can do a lot more, but remember that it can still do this.
Dating Sites
Of course, your smartphone can also basically be a club in your pocket where you can meet and flirt with girls whenever you have a spare moment. I mean, have you seen some of the latest smartphone dating apps? The bus ride home used to be boring, but now it’s a time for you to pull out your smartphone and see who’s out there that you have something in common with. Who do you want to go on a date with this weekend? Your smartphone will help you to find her, and there are enough smartphone dating apps to satisfy every interest and demographic. .
Scouting
So you’ve found a great girl on a dating website. Killer. Now maybe you want to spend a couple minutes seeing what she’s all about off of the dating site. Switch over to a social network like Facebook or Twitter. What’s she like on there? This kind of scouting is absolutely essential in the digital age and it’s never been easier, thanks to your smartphone. You don’t want to full on stalk her, but you do want to do a bit of research and make sure that she is who she says she is. What’s more, you’re going to learn way more about who she really is as a person on her Facebook profile than you ever will on a dating website.
Finding the Hot Spots
Finally, when you’re looking for a killer place to take a date, why not use your smartphone to do so when you have a little down time. We always advise men to keep a running list of things that are going on in their town. This makes it possible to always have a number of killer date ideas to rattle off when you’re getting a girl’s phone number.
The obvious smartphone dating apps are just the tip of the iceberg. You basically carry around the sum total of human knowledge with you in your pocket everywhere you go, so take advantage of it. Use it to get the most out of your dating life.
