Do you think/believe that it is appropriate to text others while on a date with someone new? Is there a number or kind of acceptable texts? Assuming no emergency situation, when another is texting throughout the evening is that a sign, one way or the other, that s/he is not that interested in the date itself? 
I don't even have my phone out on a date. Texting throughout a date is completely rude. So is talking on the phone. If they're distracted by their phone, there's no reason for me to be on a date with them. Can't believe you don't take your phone on dates...for me it's a must for safety reasons alone. |

It's a sign that he or she is not interested in exercising good manners because "constant" texting during a date is rudeness in the extreme....It's a sign of addiction....It's a sign of ADHD....It's a sign (to you) to look elsewhere unless you are looking for a person with these traits....Taking emergency calls from family is the only exception....Texting to socialize while on a date is BS... |

If they're distracted by their phone, there's no reason for me to be on a date with them. I agree, its rude and would make me feel like walking out. I do take my phone with me, just in case, but it stays in my purse and its not turned on. |

Eh, it depends. If its periodic then I'd say I'll work on getting outta there asap. I think its only polite to leave them with the check at that point. |

I feel when you make the decision to date you have to make sure your responsibilities are covered; children, parents, pets, work ect. before you go out.
Then you do what you feel is necessary to assure your own saftey; to me that would be having a phone in my pocket on vibrate only and staying in a public place where I am not solely depending on a phone. I realize I may be the exception but I have a cell phone that is for my convienence not so I can be on anyone else's beck and call. I give the number to very few people and they respect my freedom. But texting during a date is something I would not consider necessary and extreamly rude. Certainly grounds for not being extended another invitation from my host. Does that mean absolutely no possiblity of interrruption exists ? No. But I feel obligated to accept only those calls that would be only from designated adults who clearly know what a real emergency is and respect my life enough to let me have a life. Part of that is spending a reasonable amount of personal time developeing adult relationships be it a friend or a mate. If I expect to have a date respect me and my time then I feel like I have to afford them the same courtesy. |

I think it is rude to use a cell phone in any way on a date save for certain circumstances... having to let someone know where you are, if something happened or to check up on a kids or a family member. I keep mine off and away throughout a date and if I need to use it for some strange reason I will do it afterwards or excuse myself for a moment to take care of whatever it is. The texting during dates and stuff is pretty common though... I have had it done on me before, and I see people doing it pretty often to each other. What gets me is the people on a date who are both busy texting their friends instead of talking to each other. I agreed with you up until the point that texting on dates is pretty common. I cannot remember the last time I actually texted on a date... or when my date texted. I don't see it as being common, fortunately. |

That's not what I said. I said I don't have my phone out on dates, meaning I don't have it sitting on the table or take it out during a date, not that I don't have it with me. It's in my pocket or my purse. |

Couldn't have said it better myself. I don't tolerate this. Had this happen once & I walked out. I wonder if she noticed... |
