Tweeting During A Date A No No?


A friend of mine called me earlier today and was quite upset. I asked her why she sounded so down and in the dumps and she said her Valentine’s Day left much to be desired. She then commences to tell me that she had been dating a new guy who showed a lot of promise. But the dealbreaker was when during their intimate Valentine’s Day dinner, he stayed on his phone tweeting the whole entire night.

She was livid. And I would be too.

Having Twitter on your mobile phone device is a good thing, but can be a bad thing as well. It gives you instant access to everyone in your Twitter stream, and I for one have found myself getting caught up in what is being said on Twitter when  I am on my phone.

It is addictive.

But during a date as special as Valentine’s Day, tweeting is indeed a no-no. To sit there the entire time tweeting and ignoring your date is not cool at all. If the conversation is boring or not interesting, strike up a topic. Don’t ignore your date by tweeting on the phone. And worse yet, if your date is following you and you are tweeting about the night’s events (or lack thereof) be mindful that they can SEE IT!

During a date, it’s best to keep your phone in your pocket or purse in order to concentrate on getting to know the other person better, or better yet, show them that they are what’s most important during this time.

Texting is also a no-no during a date unless it is an emergency of some sort. If you and your date have an understanding that it is okay to text and tweet during a date, that is fine as well. But make sure to communicate and discuss that. Don’t just assume that it is okay.

Some date rules should not be broken.

Suffice to say my friend is no longer seeing this guy.

What do you think about texting or tweeting during a date? Do you think this is a do or a don’t? Comment and let your opinions be heard.

    I think tweeting during a date is definitely out of order. I sometimes catch myself wanting to tweet during meetings or dates but I think it shows a lack of respect for the person that you are with if you cannot give them your full attention. If you are not into the person, the proper thing to do is excuse yourself and go do something or be with someone that can command your attention.

    I will agree with you that this is a no-no. It was very inappropriate for him to be tweeting on the date. Twitter is addictive and I must admit it can consume you. However, let us understand with the guy he is so caught up with twitter that it is making him do this and he could be genuinely into the girl as well. The girl could have been closer to the guy and get to understand what he is tweeting about so much. I know it is Valentine's night date and this should not have gone down but sometimes going in the persons's world is the best thing to do. Start compromising – that is what it is all about.

    Wish her well. Guys do not tweet on a date …..

    Well that happen to me before except the girl was texting. I just kept looking at her phone like “are you serious?”. That’s rude and as much as I text and tweet, I never do that. I even put my phone on vibrate.

    Tweeting during a date is a no no. I would never do that…. so damn rude. If I’m not interesting enough to hold ur attention, find someone else who will. I would end the date if someone tweets during the date… point blank.

    Rude or not it's pretty funny. What if you were tweeting and your date happened to be following you on twitter and you said something bad about them. It would be classic.

    That is so rude! Texting, Facebooking, Tweeting, even looking at your phone during a date is just rude. If you have to make a call or take a call, then you should excuse yourself from the table and make the call outside or in the bathroom! I can't stand being on a date and someone is constantly looking at their phone!
