Put the phone down or date the phone. I am not competing with Slack and Instagram at the same time.
I would talk once, maybe twice. If nothing changes, my new partner will be airplane mode.
Worst combo is when they answer work chats and then open social media while they wait for replies.
Replying to work during calls feels like the relationship is always below their job on the priority list.
Social media on a date is brutal because it screams “you are boring.”
If it is a one time emergency, work messages are fine. If it is every call, I feel like I am dating their boss.
Scrolling social media on a date is worse. You’re right in front of me and choosing TikTok over my face.
