3. Updating Their Friends
Modern technologies do not leave us even when we are seeing someone. An educated and intelligent person realizes that texting your friends while being with your date is impolite. If you really feel you need to vent, looking for a way out or simply want to share how happy you are, use the well-known bathroom excuse. Please do not sit at the table using your cell phone. This may offend the person you are on a date with.
4. Staring
Maintaining eye contact does not equal staring. Do not let your mind wander. Stay focused on what is being said to you by your date. Take part in the conversation. Avoid ending up staring at him. You will look silly.
