You don't know who she was texting, do you? What if it was her sick mother and her reply was "I'll be over in an hour to make you soup mom, GEEZ, I'm out with this AMAZING guy right now."
Tell her you think it came across as rude, if she keeps it up, no more dates

Yeah, I'm sure that's what it was. All night long.

alot of you older people don't seem to understand how younger women operate these days. they are as addicted to cell phones and texting as people can be with cigarettes. it has nothing to do with a lack of interest (especially when they say they are interested and want to do another date...cmon now) or anything like that. they just literally HAVE to answer the phone every time a call or text comes in. it's second nature to them. the key is working them off of it. if they're worthwhile, then it's worth trying. but if you aren't that interested, there's no reason to bother. if things don't improve, though, that's not a situation u wanna deal with.
last person i dated was obsessed with texting. we talking about it and she apologized profusely...it's not something that's at all intentional. i'd make subtle comments and she'd realize she was doing it and toss her phone away. it gradually improved to the point where it didn't really happen that much (and never picked up the phone, just texting). if they're worth it, then try to fix it and expect improvement. if they're not worth it, move on. simple.

It appears they have got you hook, line, and sinker, but I for one didn't put up with that nonsense. If someone is on a date with you and you have not gotten to know eachother well (we'll say 1st-3rd date, I guess), and they are on their phone all through dinner or something...then their priorities are not in making something work with you. If you say something about the cell phone in this time period and they somehow continue, then I'd cut the line right there and move on.

didn't happen during the actual date, just other times. i dont remember, maybe a little during the date. either way, we don't know the situation...maybe they were talking a TON and the person was nervous and texting, reverting to a habit, or telling everyone about the date...or even better, maybe even asking for advice on how to impress the guy. just saying you never know...but at the same time, it shouldn't be tolerated. it either gets fixed or goodbye.

You're right that we don't know the circumstances BUT, I don't want a girl who has to ask her friends how to impress me, I want her to be her. She can wait until I'm in the bathroom or we're done the date to tell her friends how it is going/went.
If we've gone on a few dates though, or even known eachother for a long time as friends and now are just starting to date, then I could put up with it in a small amount if it is at least the 3rd date or something...before that I'd think it's a big

I heard breakfast was good. I probably would have eaten nil, but I would have loved seeing you guys...IF I knew you were going to be there (no texting)

oh i agree, it's bad...which is why i said it would need to get cut down. but it's natural to some people and they aren't trying to do it to be rude or offensive...just a bad habit.

Cell Phones are the downfall of society and truly connecting with people. Sad.

Older? I'm 25.
I don't care what the damn excuse is. Is she on a date with a person or a cell phone? If it's me? You get one warning. After that, either I confiscate the phone or I leave. End discussion.
*Disclaimer: This excludes the occasional text and the check in calls. Matter of fact, if she doesn't have a check in call, I'll yell at her for it myself.*

You go out on a date with someone to a nice restaurant to eat, then out for a few drinks.
But from the time this person got into the car, until the time to go home, they were constantly either talking on the cell or texting.
What do you say to someone like this and when do say it?
And at the end of the night this person also says they had a good time and wants to do it again.

When did I go out with you?You say :buhbye:
Socki is rude like that!
It didn't happen to me. It happened to one of the guy's that works for me.
I would have got up and left while in the restaurant and stuck her with the bill.
Then as I was pulling out the driveway I would hit the send button...
Hope your cell was on vibrate, you just got
Or you would have told her that if she was looking for something to keep her mouth occupied...
