Before a first date, I wrote a tiny note on my phone with safe conversation ideas because my mind goes blank when I am nervous. It included reminders like "ask about the dog," "do not discuss dental surgery," and "if things go well, suggest a second date." At the restaurant I tried to pay with my new smartwatch. Instead of opening the wallet, I activated the voice assistant. It loudly read my most recent note from beginning to end. The restaurant was quiet enough that the next table heard every instruction. My date listened with impressive patience, then said, "I do have a dog, and I would strongly prefer not to discuss dental surgery." I wanted to leave, but she was laughing, so I stayed. At the end of the evening she leaned toward my watch and said, "Please mark second date as approved." I have kept my dating notes in a paper notebook ever since.
