| Texting while on a date
Posted: 11/3/2009 4:07:04 PM | How about laying in bed next to me and rec'v text's and then he responds...while I'm laying next to him...I told him I did not approve of this and he stopped.
Just tell him, it's wrong and it hurts your feelings. Honesty, forthrightness, open communication, works best! Good Luck!
I, myself...am a little to open, and it scares them. Only because of the old saying, sometimes the truth hurts. Guys are inherently immature..and sometimes a women that is assertive and forthright, is a bit intimidating to those men that have this trait. If it does not bother them with being open, and honest..then you have a keeper. That's real. Too much work the alternative..I"m way too old for that!
Wish you well, Peace, Nancy | |

I disagree, I think it is great for relationships. It allows you to stay in touch when any other form of communication may be inappropriate. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 5:59:00 PM | I met three friends of mine for dinner at a really nice restaurant on the Sunset Strip. In walks two nice looking girls dressed to the nines. Both sat at the bar and never got up and NEVER took their eyes off their cell phones (both girls) all freaking night long
I can think of more attractive traits than having a cell/text-monkey on your back. Very few people are so important or have such vital business they can't forget about it for a few hours, warning sign if they can't: narcissistic, obsessive, etc.
What they're probably hoping for was for you, or any guy, to boldly approach and say,
"Cool cellphone, may i see it? i was watching this show on prison gangs where they smuggled stuff like this into the joint by doing a keister stash, u know, putting it up their a**. Have u ever thought of smuggling this into Folsom to your boyfriend?" | |

Maybe if he is ignored for a while he will get the message better than complaining. If I saw my girl ignoring me for some other guy texting her, I would take attention fairly quickly. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 8:19:17 PM | "Am I wrong to expect that when I am picked up for a date that the focus should be on the two of us? If it was an emergency or a family member then that would be understandable and expectable but a "friend" who just happens to be female. I'm not even the least bit jealous by nature but should I expect things like that while dating these days?"
Done. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 10:11:12 PM | Over use of cell phone or texting is very rude while on a date unless it is some type of emergency.
If it is that much of an emergency then the person should excuse themselves and go take care of it. | |

One text back to whoever it was if it was even that important to say sorry am with company would have been forgivable. | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 4:31:01 PM | | Texting someone else while you're on a date is rude regardless of who it is! Phone's should be turned off before you meet up as a sign of courtesy to the other person | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 4:36:39 PM | No, I no longer think it is acceptable. Even when I go out to dinner with my GF's, we turn off our phones. It has nothing to do with a man/woman thing. It's a respect thing.
I've had guys do that to me and then say "sorry" and I'm thinking if you are so facking sorry, why are you doing it. Azzhat.
I also hate texting in the beginning of dating and/or getting to know someone. It sets a tone for non-communication. | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 4:52:00 PM | | It is not acceptable. I had a guy do that to me once, and I got up and left. People who do that are self-centered, rude and disrespectful. It seems our society is so addicted to technology these days too and its sad imo. | |

Posted: 11/10/2009 5:33:56 AM | | Yes it is rude, but i only text if its family, and i take the time to tell my date that it is family...I wont text in front of him without letting him know who it is. I don't answer any other messages from friends.... they can wait. | |

Posted: 11/10/2009 7:21:00 AM | | I will turn my phone on silent but I will check it every now and then when its appropriate.. why? My daughter has JRA and my phones stay by me and on all the time. She can have flair ups any time that will send her to the hospital. But in a date setting I turn my phone silent and enjoy the company that im with. When I was with my X Gf even after 5 years if we went out I put the phone on silent as well. If the other person is constantly on the phone texting it does bother me and I will say something, if they dont like it then they obvious dont like me. | |

i knew even before i looked you wouldnt have children of your own...
i know my child, although not a child anymore, is the most precious and important thing in the world to me, and if i was going on a date, as she still lives with me, i would tell her where i was going and not to call/txt, unless it was an emergency, and i know she wouldnt ..
however imagine how you would feel if something DID happen and you had turned your fone off altogether, especially if they are younger kids.. kids have accidents/mishaps/sudden illnessess..... | |

Posted: 11/10/2009 8:37:28 AM | Even if you are not on a date, just hanging out with someone texting is rude!
Once this guy came over to my house to fix my computer. We had dated a few times before.
He showed up at the house on his blue tooth.
After about a half hour he started sending text messages back and forth with people. Then he got back on the phone. It was ridiculous. Even my kids couldn't believe how rude.
I just got my phone and started sending texts and IM and laughing
He finally got the picture and sent me a text asking why I wouldn't talk to him!
What an idiot!
So next time smeone does this to you just pick up your phone and see how they like it | |

Posted: 11/10/2009 9:04:46 AM | For those who have children, it is entirely different. And you know what? Any man with children with whom I've been on a date with has actually used their phone less than a man without children.
One guy kept receiving calls from Mom, and had to keep checking in with his 17 year old nephew. Another guy made movie plans with his buddies.
Unfortunately, most of my dates have had cell phonitis - it is starting to make me think that all the men that are left are left for a reason, but deep down I know that's not true.
Guys - don't make us start thinking that......read these forums, LEARN. | |

Posted: 11/10/2009 9:17:03 AM | *november babee*, that's why you tell people where you'll be. So they can have you paged if there's a real emergency.
Anything that doesn't call for such a measure is not a real emergency.
This is what people did before we had cell phones. It worked fine then and it works fine now.
I myself survived a childhood with two parents who had no cell phones at all the whole time I was growing up! And my brother's fine, too! Amazing but true! | |
