Is it wrong to terminate a date because she answered her cell phone during our meal?

Question

Shouldnt that time be for just the two of us?

Answer 1

who are you dude the execustionst

Answer 2

I agree with you. Unless she gets a call about a true emergency, obviously she could look at the phone and know who was calling before she answered it. Yes it was tacky to even leave it on during dinner.
Was it a first date??...then maybe let it go, unless of course there were other 'pink flags" as I like to call them. Did she chat away while she answered it, or did she say , hey I'm on a date and end the call. Did she apologize to you for being rude?

I am 37 and engaged to an IT/computer/gadget geek ( I Love my geek!) anyway he got me a cell phone for Christmas..yes there are some of us out there who have been living life successfully sans cell phone.
I have been playing around with the phone, though I am not really excited about having one. I feel the cell phone has become an intrusion into alone time, but they are nice to have for emergencies.

Answer 3

Yes and no for if it was an important call then yes she should of taken example if she has a kid that needed her home or a parent calling but if it was not exampel a girl friend wanting to know if she can borrow something then no she should of just put it on egnore and called that person back after your date for yes when your on a date it's suppose to be time for the two of you to get to know eacother and time for you two not her and you and the cell phone so you made a right choice i think. Good Lext time. (Hint: Get a girl without a cell phone or if she dose have her leave it at home)

Answer 4

I don't believe you should end a date over a cell phone call. I mean she was completely in the wrong for answering it during a date, unless of course it was an emergency. You should just let her know that you don't appreciate her using her cell phone while you are on a date. Once you explain yourself, and let her know how you feel on the matter she should accept the fact that it bothers you. If she doesn't than dump her!

Answer 5

Yes. She was supposed to be on a date with you, and she should have had her phone on vibrate, or better yet, set to go straight to voicemail.

The only time a person should answer a cell phone on a date is if they have kids and it's their babysitter, or if they have a really important job (like editor of a newspaper or US Air Force fighter pilot) and they have to be reached on an urgent business matter

Other than that, it's just rude and disrespectful.

I wouldn't end the date - I'd just get her attention and tell her "honey, please tell them you'll call them back later"

If she didn't immediately hang up, or if she dared to catch an attitude - I'd call your server, ask for a check, pay it, leave and tell her that's the last time she'll get to go out with you.

Answer 6

Did she excuse herself to take the call? Perhaps it was something really important like a family emergency or work or a call she had been waiting for someone to return. You never know unless she just sat there chatting about nothing in front of you. That would piss me off too. Unfortunately a lot of people don't know about cell phone etiquette. I wouldn't be so uptight about it or take it so personally if I were you.

Answer 7

She was rude. But now a days that seems to be the way people are going. I hate cell phones in a restaurant. Or even on a date. Leave the bloody things at home.

Answer 8

Not if she just answered it...it could have been an emergency. But if she continues to talk on it during your date, that is rude and shows a lack of manners. I don't blame you for ending the date.

Answer 9

It was a rude thing to do, but not worth ending a date over. I would tell her what you thought about it, then if she does it again you will know she doesn't care about your feelings. Some people don't think it's a rude thing to do. Just let her know.

Answer 10

It depends on who was calling, and what for. If it was just some friends, then you should discuss that with her.
If it was her family, that should be excuseable.
She should quickly end the conversation and return to your dinner date, though. She shouldn't spend minutes upon minutes, talking on the phone, and ignoring you.

Answer 11

definite, you have the main remarkable to be agrue. in case your out with somebody on a date you're able to appreciate that individual adequate to instruct off your cellular telephone till your a physician on call. you're able to of ordered the main costly merchandise of the menu and then left. that could instruct him.
