I'd say 9 out of 10 of those couples you see on their screens in a restaurant are on a first date.

I regularly go out for dinner with my partner, and sometimes we sit and talk for 3 hours, not noticing where the time goes. Other times, we sit in silence, enjoy our food, and head home together. And other times, we will sit, chat, and maybe take our phones out for a little while. Don't judge a relationship based on a single observation.

Would that not be the one time you have your phone off, with you paying full attention?

Or are you describing a first and last date situation?
