    I have a weakness for Tupperware. A true friend would buy me Tupperware at said party

    What’s the ulterior motive? I haven’t been to a Tupperware party. Is it bring your own food?

    They sell the tupperware (or candles, essential oils, sex toys, etc). It’s a way to make money off your friends.

    I understand if it's someone who has kids. I don't want them to miss an important message or call about that. But on a date, I kind of like someone to focus on us getting to know each other. I leave my phone in my purse and I don't take it out. Which is slightly awkward when they are on their phone. I just take a drink and look around awkwardly. Lol.

    I assume the phone has sound, so if a message comes through they’ll know it without staring at it the whole time.

    I was serious about just being addicted. Or using it to avoid awkwardness I guess

    It makes it more awkward. I don't mind checking notifications for something important like kids or work. I typically just leave mine in my pocket. All the important stuff comes across my watch.

    Do you sneak glances at your watch?

    I think they might use it to avoid awkwardness. But then I feel awkward because they are on their phone. It's the same way I don't like the first few dates to be seeing a movie, because I like to be able to use the time to talk and look in their eyes and get to know them.

    That's why I mentioned if they have children, I totally get that. Sometimes I date guys that don't have any kids and they still do it.

    I don't sneak, no. It light's up and shows it's an email from work or text. If it's somthing important I'll excuse myself to it. If not I ignore it.

    Asking because I have no idea how those things work. I just remember people looking at their old fashioned watches when they were in a hurry

    First meeting would be coffee. Date would be restaurant but a casual one where you can sit for awhile. Also shopping, just browsing, that's been fun on some dates. You can have lots of laughs doing that with someone. Drinks somewhere is an idea.

    Ha ha. 💕 So, the last date I went on, we had already been on a coffee date, then like a restaurant date. This one was more casual, we went and got 5 Guys, sat there for awhile, laughed and talked, shared memes, then we went to Hobby Lobby and took selfies with random things in the store and went to Target. Ha. It sounds cheesy, but it was really so much fun.

    It ended up not working out. But that wasn't because of the date, it's because he has issues.
    Sounds fun!

    What’s the ulterior motive? I haven’t been to a Tupperware party. Is it bring your own food?

    It's an MLM, home sales. No real friendship being offered, it's all about selling products.

    You can probably tell a lot about a person by the way he plays the game. I hate when people try to put two hands on the Jenga tower.
