Hey, are you getting a little sick and tired of responding to every text message that you get?

Is your constant availability causing you a bit of fatigue?

Do you feel like you never get a moment of silence anymore?

Where there's no text ding or phone call coming through,

we're constantly expected to be available.

Why?

Because we always have her phone in our pocket.

Everyone knows that we're all on our phone all the time, right?

Like 98% of us, that's a fake percentage. I'm so sorry, 98% of us, I would assume, approximately,

are on our phones all the time, have our phones in our pocket all the time. It is very

uncommon to meet someone who doesn't have their phone within two feet of them at all times. That is rare. Even when we don't

have our phone on us, we have our phone on us. Like my computer, for example, has my text messages

connected to it. For those who have Apple watches, they could be on a run, but they'll still get a

ding on their Apple watch when they get a text. You know what I mean? Very few people are actually bad texters. You know when somebody says like, oh my God, sorry I never got back

to you. I'm a bad texter. By the way, I've said that. It's kind of true for some people, but for the

most part, that's a lie. Like, we're all good texters when we want to be. But I recently had an epiphany

where I was like, hold on, I don't know if I can live like this anymore. I don't know if I can

constantly be available to everyone who has my phone number 24-7. And so today, I want to discuss

the morality of ignoring texts, of not being available on your phone 24-7.

Dating can be exhausting.

Even just getting to the dating stage is a little bit overwhelming.
