Nothing turns a man or woman off worse than being on a date with someone who is constantly texting and distracted by their phone. It’s a [bad habit](https://www.developgoodhabits.com/list-of-bad-habits/) that shows a lack of respect, low interest, or boredom. Train yourself to put your phone away.

Show that you’re present by actively engaging in a conversation with your date or partner. Respectfully end the date if you’re not enjoying yourself, instead of using your phone to sabotage it.
