Turn On of the Week: Being Hands Free
I'm talking to YOU, cell phone junkies.
There's nothing worse than being on a date or hanging out with someone and they seem more interested in their phone than they are in you.
I wrote a post a little while back about how constantly being on your phone is a big no-no on a first date.
But honestly, being on your phone on any date, whether it be the 2nd or the 106th, should be a no-no.
And that's why this week's TURN ON is...
Being hands free!
Nothing is sexier than when you have someone's complete and undivided attention. Their eyes are gazing at you instead of at that tiny little screen.
Not to mention, when someone is texting on a date, the other person can't help but wonder, just who the $%&# are you texting? It's bound to make anyone insecure.
Don't you hate when someone is on their phone while you are telling them something important, and all they have to say is "uh-huh?" In those situations, it seems like the only way to get through to those people is to bring out your own phone and text them.
Maybe they'd get the point.
I'm talking a lot of shit here, but I cant deny it, I'm also a cell phone junkie.
But I realize how sexy it is when I have my boyfriend's full attention, and how annoying it must be to him when I'm on my phone.
Taking a page out of Rihanna's book, I want to feel like I'm the only girl in the world.
SO, since he's able to turn off the world and tune in to me, it's only right that I should make the effort and do the same.
No interruptions? No texting? Nobody but you two paying attention to each other?
Now that's a turn on.
Do you mind when your date is on his/her phone? Does it turn you on to have their full attention?

Oh my gosh it drives me nuts!!!!! I hate when anyone I'm out with is stuck on their phone.
I've never had a date like that. I think they understood that because they had common sense.
I HATE it when I'm with someone and they're on their phone 24/7. Wether that be a guy I'm going out with or even if I'm just hanging out with one of my friends. One of my closest friends is ADDICTED to her phone. It's great if I need to get ahold of her, I know she'll respond right away but it's annoying when we're hanging out, because literally every 2 seconds she looks at her phone and starts texting/bbming people. I'm always like Is there something going on? Who are you talking to so frantically? And she's always like oh just a bunch of people, just chatting. Or I'll be like if you need to make a call, I don't mind, you seem like you really need to talk to whoever, and of course she's always like oh no it's fine I'm just chatting. She never gets the hint. She's an extreme example but nevertheless anyone who does it is really frustrating.
it's not a turn-on, but it's definitely common courtesy to pay attention to someone when having any kind of conversation, so of course i mind when someone is glued to their phone. it's annoying, and it says a lot about a person who can't be present.
OMG my boyfriend is like that with his blackberry sometimes if we're out with a group of people, and there are times that I want to smash it. Thankfully, when we're one on one it's usually under control... usually.
I don't text as much as I used to, but I definitely used to be guilty of texting all the time even when I was in with friends. I was in a long distance relationship so it was really the only way we communicated. While we are in one again, we make sure not to text all the time. I know when he was living here and he would be texting more then often one day while hanging out I would just tell him to let me know when he was able to talk to me and I would go about my business and not talk to him until he put his phone away. I don't know if it was kind of bitchy of me, but I just figured that if he wanted to spend time with me like he said that he could put his phone away for a few hours. I didn't mind the occasional text, just the consistent always texting.
I mind if my date is on the phone when it's not important or gets incessant. Texting while on a date is even worse, IMO, or maybe it's just a peeve of mine.
Getting full attention from him is great, definitely a turn on.
It is annoying when people have their phones out. If you're hanging out with someone, I'm sure the other person could easily ignore or turn off their phone for a few hours. My bf sometimes has his phone around and I will admit that it drives me insane when his phone goes off.
Yes. It does get annoying. Like, wth?!
I'll take it as a sign that he isn't interested or that he have other more important needs to attend to while I just sit my pretty little butt there dumbfounded.
I texted when I was out with someone about six months ago. While I was doing it, I was yelling at myself to stop. The main reason was that I was incredibly nervous! I usually DON'T ever do that. Luckily, the guy still talks to me even while I'm studying in another country, so that's a good sign. I think. But yeah, in ten days I'll have been cell phone free for three months. It's actually not even that weird. I've only missed my phone once-- when I wanted to text a friend to ask her for a song recommendation.
Being in a long distance relationship right now, it takes a little different form: dividing attention while on the phone.
It's one of my biggest pet peeves when my boyfriend won't put the freaking PS3 controller down while we're on the phone. I love video games, so I understand the feeling of not wanting to stop, but on my end of the line, I've shut my computer down completely so that I can give him my full and undivided attention.
*sigh*
