The dating service It's Just Lunch has published 10 basic suggestions regarding wireless and Internet technology for singles. Not only have 43% of singles Googled someone before a first date, the service states, but 80% have set up that first date by phone -- 16% by IM and 11% by SMS.

The advice from It's Just lunch is as follows:

• Never ask someone out on a first date by email, instant messenger or text message. A phone call is always in order.
• Emails relating to dating should be brief, upbeat and fun.
• It's ok to correspond using email regarding your plans for a date, where you will go, time etc., but always confirm the date by phone -- it's much more personal.
• It's always nice to hear from someone after a date. If you plan to see them again, a phone call and email is nice. If you are not planning another date, a short, nice email is appropriate.
• Never discuss your personal life by email. Remember -- emails can be forwarded or read by others. (8% of singles have read their dates' personal emails.)
• Don't discuss friends you might have in common via email -- especially anything negative.
• If you've gone out with someone and they are not returning your emails, consider that person not interested. Don't push; understand that he/she is probably not interested. Move on.
• Don't recap details about your date on email with your friends. (22% of singles send personal emails on their work email account... remember your boss can read that.)
• If you are not interested in seeing someone again, don't give out your email. Be straightforward at the end of the date and tell them there is no chemistry, but it was great meeting them.
• Don't give out a phony email address -- that just isn't a nice thing to do.
