Depends on how into your date you are. If he/she is someone you really like, leave the phone turned off. If it's a blind date, or someone you don't care for, say excuse me, answer the phone, and go on from there.
I would consider it very poor taste, and a qualifier for a "no thanks" on a second-date request if someone I was with found me so uninteresting they had to talk to their friends on the phone.
Emergency phone calls, of course, trump anything else. If it's the babysitter, etc. of course you answer.

I don't think so. Only answer your phone, if you must, to say you can't talk now and will call back later, period. Then, DISCONNECT.
I'd say turn off your phone on a date (you have to -- or should -- in the movies or at the theater or other event). That's why you have texting and an answering service.
Why, you ask. Because it is, in a word: rude.

Only if it's a real emergency like work calling or a family member that has called previously a few times. Otherwise, let it go to voicemail and check it when you go to the bathroom.

Not if you are truly interested in the person you are on a date with, and have a little thing I like to call manners. You may or may not have heard of them.

I don't think the other person (your date) would like it very much!
You should focus your attention on your date!

NO...you're on a date to get to know someone. If you need to use your phone, excuse yourself to the restroom.

no, that is incredibly rude. If a girl did that to me, I probably wouldn't go out with her again. I'm sick of girls that do that.

No, that's what voice mail is for.
