I hear a lot of cell phone dating stories. Since I hear many of the same scenarios more than once (different players, different lines, same story) I always wonder is this a trend or a rarity. Samsung polled single females on just this topic. Finally, some stats to make the people I know feel a little more well adjusted. There were a lot of interesting points and some that were expected. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Almost one-third of respondents said they can tell a good amount about a person by the type of cell phone they have (32%). - I have to admit, I can too.
• More than one out of three SMFs have had a friend call them to interrupt a date (34%). - I've been asked by friend's to do this for them.
• A whopping 70% said they have snooped on their significant other’s cell phone - for example, by looking through text messages or picking up their phone to see who is calling. - I've heard tales of this before and apparently it's causing quite the stir in Kenya.
• Single mobile females use cell phones to avoid calls: 40% have faked technical difficulties to avoid someone they were not interested in dating. - I haven't heard stories about this, but now I can't wait to hear how people pull this one off.
• 78% of females surveyed prefer to give their cell phone number to someone they are attracted to. - Well, yeah. Who doesn't?

You can see the rest of the results of the survey here. Is this how you use your cell phone too?
