Dating, Cell Phones and Phone Numbers

I am old enough to remember how picking up at bars use to be like, before everyone had a cell phone. An article in The Examiner reminded me of how the simple thing as asking a girl for her phone number at the local bar has changed. All of this is due to the cell phone. Now days everyone has a cell phone and for the most part, to contact someone in their twenties or thirties you either email them, send a text message or call their cell phone. Back in the early 90's (I just dated myself 😀), if you were lucky to get a woman's phone number by the end of the night at a club or bar, you really had no idea if it was fake or not. Now days, all you have to do is pull out your cell phone and text her or give her a call. This means a woman will rarely give out a fake number anymore. If she does she risks embarrassing herself when the guy calls or texts her 5 minutes later.
