We've all encountered a situation where the person you're talking to whips out his or her phone, clearly showing disinterest in the conversation.
So in a time when we are more connected than ever, a question begs to be answered; 'Is it OK to check your phone on a date?'
We get it - having
a date spend more time playing Candy Crush Saga than looking lovingly into
your eyes and hanging on every word is going to cause problems.
What else...?
The study also revealed that on a
first date 37.1% of singles will check their phone if their date has left the room
(I'll admit, I'm guilty of doing the old phone check when my boyfriends nipped
to the loo, but I feel that's fine because he isn’t there?)
Combine this with those who say
you should never check your phone on a first date (27.2%) and those who say
only in emergencies (23.4%). This adds up to a notable 50.6% in comparison to only 12.3 percent who said it was cool to check
their phone anytime!

How do you know if you like
someone if you’re not paying attention? When you meet someone new you
want to make a good first impression. Picture you’re out with someone you
really like and every time they get a text, they look at their phone. Would you
think they’re into you or that they’d rather be somewhere else?
Paying too much attention (or any
attention) to your phone while on a date could signal to your date that your priorities
are somewhere else.
Our advice...
Ditch your phone for a night. Who knows - the best of what happens online i.e. meeting the person across from you may lead to amazing things off line. Besides we’re sure those snapchats of your friends dinner will wait.
