Yup! We are not compatible if your phone is out! I mean yes, I understand if you want to check in real quick on Facebook or whatever. Or take a pic of food to post on whatever social media you use. This is fine, and you can take your phone out long enough to do this task. You get 2 minutes of phone time. And you can use it if I go to the bathroom and you put it away within 15 seconds of me rejoining the table.
This is the max.
I keep my phone in my purse.
Obviously there is an exception if there is some sort of important phone call or whatever that is expected during that window.
None of what you listed is acceptable to me, if your phone call is that important stay home and wait for it, do not waste my time.

I don't have issues with food pics as my friends are into it. There is an agreement at the table everyone can pause for a minute to take one. It is not every meal, but on special ones. Then phones go back in pockets/purses. This stuff is fine for me if we have been dating a little while.
I have always needed a security blanket when alone in public. It has evolved over the years: books, newspapers, magazines, walkmans, discmans, ipods..... And obviously now cell phones, tablets and ereaders.
For me, in "alone" time i don't care about your security blanket. In the early stages, I'll give you a few minutes buffer to finish something up and transition into date time. But when It is date time or I am back at the table I want your full attention.
Ive been on a date years ago ( I was 21 I think ) and the girl got a call from her ex and they had a massive row over the phone, I thought it was more amusing than anything else LOL.
But he's then walked into the pub and started screaming at her so naturally I told him where to go ( obviously not as polite as that ) and then a huge fight broke out between us and she went mad at me!!!. What a first date 😂
Since then whilst on a date I keep my phone on silent...... Just in case LOL.
Try to pick date locales with no sports involved. It is one less excuse for women to be less distracted and unable to focus on you.
I also do not like college football, or football as a whole. Playing sports is way better than watching them.
I disagree, it worked pretty well for me. Me and a date went to this restaurant where they had an NFL playoff game on and we were watching for a bit, she was not as much into sports as I was so she started asking me about the game. One of the funniest moments of the date was when one of the players got hurt and they showed him limping. She really didn't know what happen because she thought the guy was trying to walk all cool like. I had the tell her that he's limping and hurt his knee. We both had a damn good laugh.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: PUT THE PHONE AWAY!!!
Remember my post about my buddy on a date with a woman gabbing on her phone. He walked out on her! I'd have done the same thing!

I walked out of a restaurant and drove myself home and I was with Mr. CSD, that was the last time his phone was inside a restaurant when we are together.
It wouldn't bother me at all. I guess I don't need that much attention in that particular situation. If I felt I needed that much attention for an important reason I know I can get that from someone when I want to. It's a date, you want the person you are with to enjoy themselves, if that includes them using their phone then go right ahead and use your phone.
I agree about the picture taking. I don't agree though of getting upset because your date won't listen or pay attention to your stories. I feel you should make the date all about the person you have a thing for and not about yourself. Women are beautiful, men are disgusting animals and there isn't all that much interesting about disgusting animals. Put the woman on a pedestal and enjoy the greater of the two creations. Make your date about pleasing the soul sitting across from you, no one is perfect and will fill your expectations completely. Just enjoy the fact you have someone to sit there with even if she has a touch of ADD. I can't believe it is that important of an issue unless you are all about self serving, who would ever want someone like that to begin with?
