Dating

There is nothing more annoying then when a person sits on a cell phone during a date. I went on a date once where the guy used his cell phone during a walk and proceeded to talk to his friend about how bad his boss was. Needless to say after about seven minutes, I was irked and made up my mind about him. When he asked me out again, I chuckled to myself.

When you’re on a date, keep your cell phone on vibrate and in your pocket. You don’t even need to keep it on silent. If the phone buzzes during the date, press the side buttons to silence it. Wait until you’re done with dinner or until your date goes to the bathroom and glance down at it. If it’s an emergency or there‘s a voicemail, excuse yourself, go to the bathroom and check the messages but only do it once during the date. If you need to call back, do so quickly. Never, ever do it in a public place such as while you’re sitting in a movie theatre or while you’re eating dinner.

Unless there’s an emergency, such as your child has no ride home or someone is in the hospital, there’s no reason why you should be talking on the phone. If it is an emergency, your date should understand that a call needs to be made. A date usually doesn’t last more than a few hours, almost everything else can wait until its over.
