Did it take work for you to learn to be direct like that? I just can't do it. I gradually lower the amount I talk to a girl till eventually neither messages the other and we just stop talking.
Talking to someone and being nice to them isn't really wasting their time. People can still be friends you know. I just don't want to straight up tell them they aren't right for me when I can just put in a bit of extra effort and avoid any hurt feelings for them by having them get bored and lose interest in me.
Just depends on the circumstance. I know directness would certainly be a plus a lot of the time, avoid those friendzone scenarios where you could be stringing someone along which would just hurt them more.
That's some ****** up **** . I'm not saying not to do this **** to anyone but you should definitely be 100% sure they deserve it before you do. Of course this would be planned before she texts someone on your date and more likely than not she would be texting one of her girlfriends saying the date is going well anyways.
You know that the guy took this picture with his phone right in front of her without her noticing right? He had to fake that he was texting and looking at his phone too.
I don't really see it as a problem if the person responds to a couple texts during the date as long as they are attempting to be engaged the rest of the time. I would only ever do this if the person was glued to their screen and not even making an attempt at conversation.
He was a 22 year old virgin who decided that women were to blame for his **** personality, so he decided to go on a shooting spree and ended up killing six people.
When i go out with family and friends I tell them specifically no ******* phones at the dinner table.
Same at home too.
You want to eat at my house at my table you can talk to me and everyone else there like a human being.
If any of my friends or family ever told me that I wasn't allowed to use my phone at the dinner table I would tell them to go **** themselves. Not because I was planning on starring at my phone all dinner but because I don't like to be talked to like I'm a 5 year old. If I want to answer a text message during dinner then I am going to. I realize it's rude to ignore the people you are eating with but there is no reason to become enraged at the sight of a phone. Without phones people could still spend all dinner watching TV or even just lost in their own thoughts. Phones don't make a person be rude, they just make it obvious when they are doing it.
Sitting on your phone during dinner is ******* rude.
It shows that you dont care about anything the people youre with are saying, a blatant disrespect for the people youre dining with.
Little ***** like you are why families cant connect anymore.
Its time you grew up and realize that telling you no phones at the dinner table isnt talking to you like a 5 year old, its making clear a common ******* respect thats expected in the company of others.
Not everyone spends all dinner ******* talking you baby boomer retard. If there's a lull in the conversation it's perfectly acceptable to answer a text or look something up. When someone is SPEAKING TO YOU is time to put the phone down.
0/10 would not eat at AGUN's house. Would throw old cellphones in yard, though.
And I can't really comment on families not connecting because when I was growing up smart phone didn't exist yet. My family and I would usually eat dinner while watching TV. I'm not married and I don't have kids so I couldn't really give a **** if families have problems connecting or not now-a-days.
Except that I'm a grown ass man and if you have to explicitly state that you don't want people starring at their phones at the table you don't respect the people you are with enough for the rule to go unspoken. I never said that I sit on my phone all dinner. I will take my phone out, reply to a text message I just got, and then put my phone away. My friends all do this too and when one of us is texting a mutual friend we often talk about what the person is saying. If this is rude then I guess we are a bunch of rude assholes.
Well if you call spending 2 minutes of a 1.5 hour long dinner sending texts rude then I guess I am. Petulant I am not, since I said IF, meaning that I have never had to tell any of my friends or family to **** themselves because we don't feel the need to have to set up ground rules just to be able to talk to each other during dinner. Of course different rules apply between a date with someone you just met and friends who you have known half your life. If you think that you have to behave with your friends the same way you would on a first date then you probably don't have very many friends.
Though to be honest he could just say up front that he's splitting the bill 50/50, in that case. If she walks off, oh well. Nothing of value is lost, especially not the money.
The issue isn't so much she came for free food but that she doesn't even have table manners.
That and she came for free food. We've got all this social tradition about how the man has to do everything for the woman, then they go around hollering their heads off about how they don't need no man and are better than men. But sure don't mind preying on the expectations that they'll get free **** for stringing one along until someone better-looking with more money shows up.
Can't even say I'm salty about it, been married five years. This is your kids' problem, and I'm just back here wondering why you people stick up for women like that.
That's such an old tradition though, and says that women can't do **** for themselves. Take it from a 21 year old girl- though there are women who do this, if you're up front about it that attitude tends to go away, or they do. Just don't play their game. I've got a fiancee and always pay my share, simply because that's what we set as a precedent during the earlier stages of the relationship.
I can't stand people like this. Even with my friends, I never pulled out my phone to text or browse some other **** . It is rude as **** . I don't know about everyone else but I been taught to pay attention when there is someone with you.
On a side note, isn't it considered rude also when a friend asked you to go out for a bite and only after you agree, they asked you to pick them up. My friend just text me earlier. Ask me if I want to go out to eat. He set the place and time after I asked where and when. I agree. Then he texted me back saying to pick him up at his place. I can't say no since I already agree Yeah he got a car of his own and this is not the first time that happen like this
