    There are lots of reasons for using a smartphone beyond avoiding engaging in conversation though. Looking things up, sharing contact info, planning another date, paying for the meal/event, even going to a movie can almost require an app.

    I’m not saying these would be the majority of the time or anything, but not using your phone whatsoever is more of a limitation than you’d think.

      People with existing family trying to date, like a single parent checking on their kids. For sure the blanket no phone attitude is unrealistic.
