Yated Shidduch Forum 4/19/19: Can I Use My Cell Phone While On a Date?
Question:
Is there any place or time during a date, from the time the boy arrives at the girl’s house till he drops her off, that it is acceptable for either the boy or girl to be checking their cell phone for voicemails, text messages, WhatsApps and the like?
My thought process is that while the boy is driving, it is rude for the girl to be looking at her phone.
In the hotel or lounge, the focus should be on each other, in my opinion, and phones should be on silent.
Phones, I feel, should literally remain untouched throughout a date – or should they? What’s your opinion?
