The other evening at our favorite watering hole there were three young men with three girls. The girls were sitting together as were the men. All the girls were texting on their cell phones, and ignoring their dates. We got talking to one of the young man and mentioned it. He said it was quite normal behavior these days. In fact he was on a first date with some girl and she sat in front of him and texted all the time she wasn't ordering from the waiter. The result was he excused himself and left the table never to return. Later she asked him why he'd left her - by text of course. I'm not sure what his response was. Mine would have been pretty tough.
So now do we have to teach a new rule of etiquette - is this a date with cell phones or without cell phones? Come on People!
