lastresort Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Was married 10 years 15 with same women. I started dating a women 3 months ago. When we go out on dates I always leave my phone in the car when I'm with her. It drives me nuts that she will take phone calls and text messages while we're out. Need advice on how to approach this with out sounding tacky.
Fondue Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 There is nothing more disrespectful than answering texts when you're with somebody. Regardless of date status or not. I immediately disconnect myself with someone who does this and leave, or blatantly find something else to do. If they're answering texts in front of you, this is 100% disinterest in you. You should treat it as such and leave. Even if I just met them at a bar or something. If I'm talking to a woman and she answers her text, I would turn around and go talk to another woman or friends. I don't care how she feels about this. I don't mind people picking up calls if they answer it with: "Sorry, with someone. Will call you back later. *hang up.*" That's absolutely fine with me.
january2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 I suggest, "I find the phone calls and texts disruptive during our dates. Would you consider switching off your phone so that we can focus on spending time together?"
Author lastresort Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 Is this what dating has turned too? Like I said been 15 years since I had to deal with dating. I am just getting used to texting for communication with her. That has gotten me in trouble cause my sense of humor sometimes doesn't come across in a text. Thanks for advice. Motto justify but she does have a child and 100% custody and I understand if the babysitter were to call. But a girlfriend really can't wait. I have kids too, I get that part.
