The document appears to be the results of a survey about relationships and technology. It includes responses to 16 questions with percentages and counts of responses about topics like texting/calling preferences, social media use, and phone etiquette during dates and time with partners. The majority of respondents were female (68.1%) between the ages of 25-54. Most indicated they prefer to text rather than call someone they're interested in, and over half conduct online research of potential dates, though many would not cancel a date due to what they found.
