To Answer or not to Answer? That is the question

I wanna ask you all a quick question. Do you think that it's appropriate on any person's behalf to answer your phone while on a date whether it be a text or a call? Don't you think that something like that takes the attention off your date? What do you think they will think about you if you answer your it? Maybe your text or phone call is more important than them? I would think that your focus would be on them instead of a dumb phonecall or text. Whoever it is can wait until your date is over and then speak to them. Don't be rude by answering your phone. It shows you don't care about what's going on and could care less. With an attitude like that, you won't go on many dates in life.
