Got matched up with a woman and within a couple of days we exchanged numbers and she called in the afternoon. Said she wanted to talk more later. She sent me a text around 9:30PM. Sent her one back asking what she was doing. Said she was taking a bath. Asked her if she wanted to talk or continue texting. She sent a text back saying she didn't even know me. I could tell she was freaked out.

This is a 43 year old woman with two teenagers, twice divorced. My point is she isn't some young innocent girl. She sent me the text from the tub. Asked her if she was taking a relaxing bubble bath. Wrote back that I was embarrassing her! She called me half hour later and we talked but it just felt like something was gone in our excitement to meet each other. That's the way it ended. I closed her out for no chemistry and sent her an email. She agreed and appreciated my honesty.

I have my own business, use my cell phone in the tub or wherever...talk to women, men, my nephew whoever and don't think anything of it.

Any of you guys have this happen? Women do you talk to people in tub?

Yeah, I don't see the big deal about talking from the tub. Maybe she thought you were trying to be sexual with your "relaxing bubble bath" comment. Who knows. Frankly, I am very open, and couldn't be with someone who thought it was embarrassing to be asked if they were taking a relaxing bubble bath.

When I had a boyfriend, I talked while in the bathtub all the time!! Maybe it's because I'm not a huge fan of talking on the phone in general and I thought I might as well be comfortable if I am talking! My boyfriend was a truckdriver, so he could talk all day if he wanted to. I, however, was going to school and working full-time, so I had no qualms about soaking in the tub while talking. So anyways, my advice for you would be- don't sweat it. If she seriously felt embarrassed that she was in the bathtub-- then SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU SHE WAS!

Hmmm... .I would prefer not to know that someone is engaged in some sort of personal hygiene activity while communicating with me.

Nor would I initiate communication while engaged in the same. (Isn't it kind of risky to text in the tub? Slippery, soapy hands and texting in tub = dropped, drowned phone...lol)

Edited to add -- Spouse/boyfriend would be a different matter; these two are still strangers...

I can’t comment on the tub scenario, but this is somewhat common, and why I prefer not to talk on the phone at all before meeting.

Are these texts a live form of communication? If so, it would seem the fault is hers, since the first text from hers immediately preceded your question …

Oooooooooh......I thought the thread was "Hot Talk in the Tub," and I was drawn in as a result. But in that case, I was going to suggest that it's not a matter of what you say, since you've already lured her there. But, how long you could keep your head underwater.

Anyways, it sounds like it might not necessarily be an issue of bathtub phone etiquette. And she might have just freaked, since she perceived you may have been entering into her world too quickly.

That's weird. It's not like you were looking in her bathroom window.

Good call on closing her if she's that weird.

I would feel a little weird about communicating with someone I didn't even know while they were taking a bath...but she was the one who decided it would be a good idea to chat then and she brought the bath into the conversation, so she's got no one but herself to blame!
