VERY rude. I don't accept this from friends, either. It's one thing to be hanging out and send a few texts, but to carry on entire conversations with other people is extremely rude to me.
On a date, I would be totally turned off. If something is important, either do it in private or apologize for the one you must send.
I don't see what is so awesome about being able to be contacted at every moment of every day. Sometimes, its so nice to leave the phone at home and be out without worrying about it!
I won't even tolerate a phone on the table if we're out to dinner. I have walked out on someone at a restaurant who insisted on finishing his text conversation that he had started before he arrived. He said it would have been rude to stop replying. lol
If I go out on a date and she starts texing, then I (provided that I have her number) would text her tell her good bye.
I like this!
I agree, it's rude. I don't check my phone for anything on a date.
What I don't understand - to the posters who said they wouldn't mind as long as it was important and limited - don't you find it rude that they even pull their phone out to look at the text?
I leave my phone on vibrate and can't even hear it, deep in my purse.
If someone is dealing with an emergency work related matter they can have a few texts. Outside of that, it's rude and I would leave.
And the only reason I understand the work thing is because I have several friends who have jobs where they are "on-call" if there is an emergency but those are usually brief: either it's solved in a moment or there is a need to re-schedule. Texting absolutely cannot happen throughout the date.
Has anybody here ever gone on a date with a guy or girl and they pretty much spent their entire night texting?
I consider this to be very offensive, and it comes across to me as a girl saying "You're irrelevant, texting is more important"
I once saw a couple holding hands at the mall and texting with the other
Does anybody else see this problem, going on a date with a habitual texter?
It hasn't happened to me, but I wold not tolerate it. Unless there's an emergency, your date should neither text nor talk on the phone. Period.
