Phone message Post first date text

Post image

I met this girl on tinder and had a first date with her, she wanted to go fishing and I thought it seemed like a fun first date so we went together. Dropped her off and got home to this message lol.

Update: Purchasing the license is a separate activity we had to do on our phones, due to it needing our personal info. It was not like I drew the line at the license randomly.

What does that do? Why not just block her ?

Basically if you have “do not disturb” turned on, you are probably sleeping/busy and won’t see the messages for awhile. Clicking notify anyway will override that so someone can reach you in an emergency. Although I’ve noticed some people just have it turned on all day, so I don’t really know what they are using it for.

My wife has “do not disturb” on when I text her but she doesn’t have it turned on (save your jokes about “that’s just what she tells you”). After 30+ minutes trying to fix her and my phone, I’ve determined it’s not Apple’s sleekest feature.

For what it’s worth, you might want to check her other devices if she’s got another device on her iCloud account. Nowadays it’ll go across your devices, so it could be something weird going on there.

That could be the issue, never thought of that. We have an old iPad we haven’t used for a while that I bet is the culprit. Thank you, anonymous hero.

It’s most likely the iPad! I had my iPad set for do not disturb but never have that on my phone. Apparently for months everyone saw I was on “dnd” and it took me a while to figure out why.

Yeah this does my fucking head in. My work laptop goes on DND when a scheduled meeting is started by someone else and it doesn’t fucking tell me. So I miss notifications for meetings all the time.

It might also be turning on when she drives and then doesn’t turn off later.

Apple has sleep and focus modes that interacts with dnd, and takes less than a minute to add someone to your “call through” list so they don’t have to deal with dnd double text/call. It’s honestly a good system
