45. Ghosted, Texted, and Still Polite: Social Etiquette in a Digital Age

Manners and Other Matters

Send us a text

In this episode of Manners and Other Matters, Louise Percy explores the evolving—and often perplexing—landscape of social etiquette for people aged from their 20s. From the nuances of texting and dating app interactions to more complex issues like ghosting, sexting, and catfishing, I take a considered and compassionate look at how good manners can still shine through in the fast-paced, often impersonal world of modern communication. With her signature elegance and warmth, Louise unpacks the "new normal" of connection, and offers thoughtful advice on how to uphold grace, clarity, and kindness in an age of swipes and screens.

Whether you're navigating online romance, digital boundaries, or post-date silence, this episode is your modern guide to behaving beautifully—even when things get complicated.
