Posted: 8/2/2007 4:55:10 AM | It used to be better to go on a deaf date, instead of a blind date. To even think of carrying a phone around would mean a hefty TDD machine (phone for deaf) and possibly a third party "Relay Operator". But now it seems everyone has a Sidekick, text phone or other pocket device (except me).
These days, with cell phones rudely intercepting, blind dates have taken on a new meaning: "Deaf dates"- where you never want to hear from him (or her) again.  | |

Posted: 8/2/2007 6:33:50 AM | From the time we were at a picnic my date was on the cell phone
8 times talking to his buddies, when he got off he left me to talk to other
women trading off phone numbers,while I sat enjoying the picnic
not knowing I was about to be dumped.
The picnic was fun the company was not. | |

Posted: 8/2/2007 7:32:18 AM | Okay, I'm back to passionate again..............those kind of stories make me want to SHAKE THE SH!T out of someone.................and I'm not sure if it's you or him!!!
WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU PUT UP WITH THAT?? You are much to wonderful and giving a person (don't worry, I can tell) to accept such piss poor behavior from a man........or anyone for that matter! He was rude and anytime you are offended that's a good time to end it.........doesn't matter what works for ANYBODY else, if "mama ain't happy, ain't NO BODY HAPPY"..........men/women will do exactly what you allow them to...........I truly beleive we train people on how to treat us......................
Your motorcycle gear is hot and there are FAR FAR TOO MANY SEXY men who are waiting to treat you like a queen, get those toads out of the way fast so that you can make room for the princes! | |

Posted: 8/2/2007 12:40:22 PM | I'm a notary, and lot of my work comes in over the phone. I also have sick family. That being said, I never answer call waiting and I never pick up the phone when someone is talkin to me face to face, unless it's important or a number I don't recognize.
So you can probably guess I was pretty offended to have a girl in my truck talkin on the phone the whole way home from the restaurant. We had been datin about a month, but still. I pulled up to her driveway and pointed at the house. She was still on the phone. She tried to get off with the person at that point, but I told her to just go ahead.
I dated another girl who was very absent-minded and would forget she put people on hold. She did it to other people when I called all the time. Every time she told me someone was calling and put me on hold, I'd just count to 10 and hang up.
I already hate phones as it is. | |

Posted: 8/2/2007 12:49:04 PM | | Here's another angle...having nothing to do with the person you're sitting with - why would you want people in your life to think you'll answer the phone everytime it rings? Isn't that sort of telling them that their call is more important than whatever you're doing at the time the phone rang? I like to make sure people who call me know I have a life, so when I'm busy, with the exception of a job quote where I might lose money or an emergency related to something that happens to be going on - I let them leave a message. Then I call back when not busy. | |

Yep, I'm still here, guess just hanging out in different forums. You're just smart enough to stay away from threads on universal health care.

Posted: 8/2/2007 3:57:59 PM | | There's nothing worse than a Cellphone ringing in the middle of a date, if you have a phone switched on in the first place during a date, it is a negative thing as your date will think that they're being ignored lol. | |

Posted: 8/5/2007 1:10:43 PM | | I understand safety and emergencies...but how often does a real emergency come up? What did we do before cell phones? And there are people who admit to having a friend phone with a fake emergency so that te person can get out of the date..not for their safety but because their date is not good looking or as good looking as a photo...come on where has our common sense and common decency gone? | |

Posted: 8/5/2007 1:24:38 PM | | I totally agree that is just plain rude to have a cell phone conversation during a date. With the exception of an emergency! I say that because a few years ago I went out on a date with a guy who was a manager of a huge company. Well, let's just say that he spent pretty much the whole time yammering on his phone discussing business with his clients. Needless to say I ended the date pretty quickly! So, as I said, with the exception of an emergency situation, it is rude to talk on the phone almost the whole time on a date. | |

Posted: 8/8/2007 7:23:14 AM | Having been in the health care profession, years ago I dated a few doctors AND it was the age of pagers. I was cured of attempting to have any kind of social relationship with doctors and a few other health care professions. I really mean it. It can only be horrendously worse today with the cell phone and the fewer doctors! In a doctors case all calls are emergencies EVEN when they are not. I was on emergency call 1 full week at a time and around the clock from Friday evening thru Monday morning (unless it was a holiday). I gave up going to shows, theatres during that week because of the good ole pestering pager!!!! My manfriend at the time just couldn't understand it all AND got increasingly frustrated with 1 out of every 4 weeks being a shut down that he QUIT! Being a business man M-F 9 - 5 he just couldn't hack it!
So I guess it depends on the datee (the one without the phone) if they want that kind of scenario in their life!!!!! | |

Posted: 8/8/2007 4:31:16 PM | It's become a sickness CEL-PHONES. Just look at people in a store...they have that idiot phone stuck in their ear like they were born with it. Go to a dance , theater or show, there is always some lamebrain whos phone will ring.
Don't even get me going on people driving and talking on the phone.
As far as being on a date.....if her phone rings, dear girl, I am out of here
My opinion | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 2:38:46 PM | It's annoying as hell and VERY rude. Last 2 girls I got involved with pulled this crap every day and all it did was set off red flags and of course later on I proved myself right about considering it a red flag.
test messages non stop, phone calls etc. | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 2:55:56 PM | | I THINK IS JUST COMMON SENSE ABOUT A CELL IN A DATE, BUT IF SOMEONE WANNA BE SMART, LEAVE THE CELL WITH THE VIBRATOR ON, SO YOU CAN CHECK IF IS AN IMPORTANT CALL, I DO ALL THE TIME AND I PICK UP ONLY IF IS MY SON, AND IF A WOMAN WILL EVER TELL ME THAT I AM RUDE TO SPEAK WITH MY BOY AT THE MOMENT, I WILL KINDLY ANSWER HER, HE IS MY BLOOD AND SO FAR TO ME YOU ARE A PERFECT STRANGER!!! | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 4:02:08 PM | | If a man accepts a phone call and talks for very long, I just get up and walk to a different room, give him privacy. If in a restaurant, I go set at the bar and have a smoke while he chats on the phone. If we're in his vehicle and he's drivin'...I start goin' through his glove compartment and organizin' it (they HATE that !). If we're in my car, I pull over into a big mall or walmart, park the car and get out. ....no biggee....if he misses me, he'll hang the phone up...at least to ask me what I'm doin' ! | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 4:14:56 PM | | I went to a movie with a date recently and he spent the entire time not paying any attention to the screen and text messaging someone. After it was over, he told me it was a great flick. | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 4:20:41 PM | | I always turn my phone off or turn the ringer to silent on a date. Checking your phone while on a date or answering it is just rude.....waiting or looking for a better offer? | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 11:16:43 AM | I believe that we are in control of our lives and have the choice to allow people, or cell phones to interrupt us or not. What message is it sending the person, friend, male, female, kids, parents, etc. when you answer that phone? Who is more important? The person in front of you? or the person on the other end of the phone? My phone stays in my car. I check it for messages occasionally, but other than that, my family and friends know that I am not available when I am out. If I do answer the phone, it is only long enough to say, "I'm on a date, I'll call you back tomorrow" I want the person I am with to feel like they are the most important person.
Cell phones are just plain rude. My daughter is terrible with hers. She and I will be having a great conversation, her phone will ring and she is just gone. People need to use common sense and manners. Yes, if you have a sitter or children, you should carry your phone. But, to have a whole conversation with someone is just plain rude. | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 11:59:23 AM | Sorry to disagree with a lot of people but I have been on a few dates where my cell has rang and I have been on it for under a min, but I see in no way this is rude in the setting I was in at the time. For the most part I tell the caller that I am entertaining a lovely young lady at the time and I will have to call them back latter.
I like it to be known that any girl I am dating can get a hold of me at any time, and I will not ignore her calls or anyone else's. I am open and honest and I will not hide my plans or actions from her.
I will not run off into the secrecy of a wash room to check my mail and I should hope she would do the same for me.
Life is all about communication and what is the use of having a cell phone if you are not going to answer it.
Granted there are places that are "cell phone free" such as Japanese restaurants and theaters, and I respect the establishments wishes.
But I will not hide my life from my date and my date from my life. | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 2:16:21 PM | cell phones are the ultimate form of self absorption and arrogance. To be texting or talking to others while on a date is over the top.
I turn my phone to vibrate. but unless its an emergency I blow it off. | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 2:39:54 PM | It's like when you see somebody driving down the road on their cell phones....obviously they could care less about the 4K pound vehicles around them that could have a screw up then they're like WTF?? AIHHHH lol.
I've never had to answer my phone in years of dating, at least til we knew each other after a few dates. I trust my 2 babysitters to know what to do, which my son is always a good boy. After a few dates, I can understand a little talking to a friend otherwise unless it has something to do with our date that night or tomorrow, like friends accompanying us or needing help(which is always a guidance counselor after 9pm), then I don't give a shyt. | |
