Some men (and women) do that on purpose. I call it fun dating. :)

But, I don't.

Well, you're certainly allowed to think as you please, but the Bible doesn't agree.

There's been a LOT of threads on this subject, in the various forums; if you're truly interested you can do a search up top and read through them.

My thoughts on the original post....

Johnny, ok, your date didn't seem as focused on you as she may have on her cell. Did you ask her about it? She may have been waiting on some important info. Maybe a little communication might be better than assuming her actions were rude. Then again maybe she was communicating something to you by constantly checking her phone. Or maybe she was just being rude and self-absorbed. Who knows.

In the future, if you have an issue with cell phones on dates then mention it when you are getting to know each other before you take them out. Then at least they'll know what bugs you. Communication is key in any successful relationship.

PS: my 19 yo step-daughter does this with everyone regardless of what we say to her. She's constantly texting or talking on her cell. It gets rather annoying. We're working on her.

Interesting statement.

Could it be? Is it possible that character and personality are far more valuable than looks?

Surely not.

I went out with a friend last Friday. I took her to a nice restaurant because I was trying to impress her. I think it is so disrespectful when your date is constantly checking her cell phone for text messages and even has the audacity to answer her phone when we are in the middle of a romantic dinner. This is absolutely unacceptable in my opinion. I wanted to just walk out of the restaurant right there on the spot and make her pay for the entire meal. Ladies, I think you need to educate yourself and be more respectful. I am not going to ask her out on a second date regardless of how beautiful she is. I have decided to move on because I can do better. Thanks for listening.


She was very rude, but please don't transfer that behavior to include all of us. I wouldn't ask her out again either. If there was a valid reason she needed to be mindful of her cell phone, she should have communicated that to you.

I have a question:

Do you think it is OK for a Christian man to date a non-Christian woman? Here is my answer. I personally would not recommend it but I don't think it is unbiblical to date a non-Christian woman. Just to clarify, I am asking about dating and not marriage. What do you think?


What is the point of dating? It shouldn't be used as an idle recreational activity IMO. You date to find the one you're going to marry.

Johnny: Its interesting you got alot of women defending themselves when the issue was manners. Ill bet she wasnt interested in you enough to actually be communicating with you. As to communication the date sets the tone for one on one communication, if you have to tell the woman no cell phones, you havent got a date you have a kid with a toy and your just part of the entertainment.

Sorry Johnny, time to move on. Flowers are beautiful too, but they fade just like the beauty of a woman with no respect for the man shes with.

What's your question? You've simply given a record of events and formed a biased conclusion. I can make the same biased conclusion about men, based on dating one guy who answered his phone on a date. I can conclude that men need to be educated and more respectful.

But I am too educated to make a generalized statement like that based on just one date.
