4. However, texting a crush is very confusing.

5. Men and women text for the same cute and silly reasons.

6. Real first dates still matter (though not as much if you're very young).

7. Ask people out by phone call, not text. (Sometimes.)

8. Forty percent of women have asked a friend or family member to call them during a date to check on them.

9. Fifty percent of people like a phone call after a good first date.
