Oh, phD. I didn't know this was something women do. How does it work out for you?

I tried. It just wants to be friends.
But it's so needy, it's always right there, everywhere I go, needs constant attention, touching my but, or vibrating in my front pocket.
I just wish it would make up its mind.
So now we're in more of a sugardaddy/baby relationship. I pay the bills, and get to do all the work of sticking it in while she just lays there.
Seems to recharge her though. Win win.


Yes. That's why I stop dating them when I notice it's habitual.
...Unless they keep it in their bra.


Yes. That's why I cut off their fingers. Good luck calling the police on your smartphone!


IMO not really.
Why call me and not 911?
What can I do that an emt, a doctor, a fireman, or the police couldn't?
If it's a real emergency, there's nothing I can really do.
If it's a real emergency then either they're calling someone that can do something about it, or I'm a terrible parent leaving incapable children/people alone, so I can date when I shouldn't be.
IMO people make it seem like before the invention of the cell phone the world was just full of dead people slumped over a gore covered home phone having written in their blood "if only I could have reached you!"

ciretom, you are a really cold person. I have to have my phone on because my father or a hospital may need to get in touch with me. I live the closer to my father than all my siblings, so it's up to me to watch out for him. It's really stressful.

Sorry double post

actually I detest my phone
now I have one in case my car breaks down
my kiddo knows not to text me unless the house is burning down
I would have it on vibrate and in my purse
If I felt it wiggle or saw my purse jiggle across the table
yes, I would excuse myself to check it quickly
in case it is my son
that would be only reason

Sorry I have to get a tablet.

Generally, my phone is off and I expect his to be too. When we both start answering texts during our time together.. I know the romance is over.

my phone is always on for emergencies

They probably would if they could.

That's exactly what I was thinking from the beginning and I'm pretty sure some of them do.

I have my phone with me in case I get a call from work but I never look at it or make calls.

I think it's very ignorant and if a Lady used hers I'd wonder if I was doing something wrong or just not her cup of tea.

I don't even own a cell phone.

Bunny, I don't know whether to congratulate you or to give you my condolences.

Best check it. It could be the one you asked out before the one you're with (the second choice )

cell phone on a date is total disrespectful character

I haven't thought of this aspect yet 'cause I haven't dated in the "age of dating".. YET... Being old fashioned, I would think it's disrespectful... especially if he texted me in the middle of the date while sitting across from me to say he's not interested. :) Then again, it could be a GOOD text! Hmmmm.... gotta think about this one!

Hahahaha, I'm so glad my kids are adults and have left the nest. Don't have to deal with that kind of stress anymore, lol. Been there...

Whenever I'm with him, I tend to forget to take my phone with me when we go out. I can't be bothered. If we need a phone for an emergency, he's got his phone on him. As for the rest, I'm not available. And I hardly ever check my phone when we're in either.

Never did when I was on a date either. I consider it rude, unless you have a real good reason for it, like younger children at home.
I haven't, and I trust my cats won't set fire to the house when I'm gone, lol.

I'm glad he feels the same way. In between he checks to see if there's something important, but hardly ever, and never when we are in conversation or doing something.

This actually is one of my pet peeves.
The only time my phone has been set to ring is for work.
When I am out and about it is my purse on vibrate.
