The Situation

"He refuses to put his phone down during dates"

The Brutal Truth

His phone obsession means he's checked out and uninterested in you. It reflects a blatant disrespect for your time and signals that you’re not a priority. If he can’t focus on the moment, he’s not ready for connection.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person may insist on trying to capture his attention or distract him, believing that they can win him over with constant effort. This is wrong because it undermines their worth and keeps them stuck in a cycle of seeking validation.
