In recognition of July — which is Cell Phone Courtesy Month — Zoosk surveyed over three thousand singles on our site on their feelings about cell phone etiquette and dating.

1. 33% of singles say they have left a date early because the other person was “too absorbed with their cell phone.”86% of singles say “constantly glancing at a cell phone” is the most offensive cell phone-related behavior during a date, worse than sending a text message (73% of singles think this is rude) or taking a call (51% of singles think this is offensive).
2. 25% of women have dumped a guy via text, whereas only 15% of men have taken that route.
3.  49% of singles say an “annoying or obnoxious ringtone” is the least sexy cell phone accessory, followed by a Bluetooth headset (26%), a cell phone belt clip (17%), and ugly faceplates (8%).
4. 68% of singles say it’s a no-no to “check-in” on Foursquare, Facebook, Yelp or another platform when you arrive at a date.

Long story short, put away the phone and pay attention to the person!!! And watch the magic happen.

The emotional sheriff comes to town on Saturday when the Moon enters orderly and responsible Capricorn. A favorable lunar hookup with energetic Mars adds punch to the evening and a willingness to work hard for a good time. Bolder behavior in pursuit of physical pleasure could lead to a passionate evening. Taking turns acting as the leader is a good way for each person to have moments of being in charge.

Night owls, though, may feel more than they bargained for when the Moon joins deep dark Pluto during the first few hours of Sunday morning. On the plus side, this intensity can make an intimate connection even more powerful, but profound trust in a partner is necessary to ensure safety.

The productive Capricorn lunar influence on Saturday and Sunday is useful for combining work and play. Dealing with practical matters that would usually seem ordinary and dull can feel surprisingly romantic. Love and ambition can go hand in hand now if you have a partner who shares your goals.
