| Cell phone on a date....
Posted: 7/4/2008 6:44:09 PM | | I have an entirely different perspective on cell phone usage, i would hate to be with someone who did not answer their phone, its always interesting to hear their other relationships and their vocal intonations gives you a world of info on who they are, now those that ignore their phones makes me wonder if they are hiding something. | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 12:24:29 PM | this is something I don't get
you go to a shop, you take the time, park the car, walk in to the shop, ask about a product, in person, then the phone rings, you get to sit there while someone else that has don't nothing but dial a number gets the attendants full attention grrr.
if I'm out with someone then there has to be good reason for me to ignore that person that has taken time to be with me for me to ignore them and talk or text someone else.
maybe it's just the way I been raised, I also do the: if I've arranged to do something or be somewhere with someone I'll make sure I'm there or very least tell them asap if there is a problem. | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 9:09:10 AM | This is perfect I'd like some opinions on this.... I was on a first date a few nights ago and right away she starts checking her phone. Then she tells me about a guy friend whom she hadnt heard from and he starts replying.They are basically having a conversation. Now in all honesty I did text my FATHER a few times about a baseball game.. Five time at the most and at least 2 of them were telling him about the pretty lady I was with. Her texts went on throught the night.. to friends , family and the guy friend. I let it go for then.
Second date 2 days later (and let me say she always made sure I was able to see her phone and some of what see was texting... It was hard not to look!) At the bar out come the phone. First its her daughter a few times and then her girlfriends. And she always deletes her texts too. I never do til I have to. Nothing to hide. So I tell her about it and get kind of upset already. I look down at the phone and she makes an issue about me looking now. So I say look you can see all of my texts there all from and to her! Then I scroll ad found one from someone else who I had no interest in and never replied to but in the interest of openess and honesty I showed it to her. It said," how are you?" thats all. And again, I didn't even reply. Anyway she goes ballistic and thats that. She leaves and calls for a ride that never came so as I left I took her to her place. End of story besides a few nasty texts. | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 1:01:10 PM | | For my own comfort, I always turn the sound off on my phone. If I feel the need to check it, I do so when I'm at restroom. But you really need to focus on the date and get to know each other and you can't do that if you are on the phone. And to be honest, I don't put up with even family and friends spending dinner time on the phone for more than just a few seconds. | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 8:41:00 AM | | Ya it's pretty rude to use your cell on a date. I know I have picked it up before but casually told them id call them back that I'm with someone. That to me isnt a huge deal what pisses me off is when they are texting through your entire date! I went out with a couple of guys who text literally every 5 seconds for the entire night. Now thats rude! | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 8:47:15 AM | | I keep a cell phone with me and on when I'm on a date, in case something happens with my son and whoever is watching him needs to get hold of me. But I would keep it on vibrate, and only answer it if it was about him. As far as taking a casual call, or texting, that would never happen. | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 6:03:59 PM | | I appreciate and agree the common opinion on this subject. However I am very interested if anyone sees the hypocrisy in my dates' reaction and if anyone thinks I went too far in trying to point out that I had nothing to hide. | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 8:56:35 AM | I am sorry to here his mobile ( Cell ) went off,
for me I'd turned it off or at least put it on silent till I got back to my own home / car.
what you should have done is taken it off him:
1) put it in his beer, then tipped it over his selfish head
2) said to his buddy he'll call you back he has a far more important convesation going.
3) turned it off and taken the battery out, give him the phone back only,
come on guys ( gals) if its a first date turn the mobiles off
( sorry its a gripe with me is mobiles I have people get on my bus and expect to me sereve / wait for them on their sodding phones)
