Get off your phone!
My boyfriend has a bad habit of always being on his iPhone. While out to dinner with friends, watching a movie, pretty much every where. I try to get him off of it and after I say something he will, but 30 mins later he'll get back on. What should I do? It gets pretty annoying him always playing with his iPhone :-\

Maybe give some free advice about: Etiquette?
I was once having dinner with a gorgeous girl who told me that if a guy answers the phone while she is on a date with her, there is never a second date. She went on to explain that her time is too important. Thinking on it, it is rude to have someone looking at their phone while you are trying to have a conversation.
I take that to heart, and if it's one piece of advice I can give to dudes and chicks... turn the phone off when you are with your better half... Guys: make it a visibile effort, then when she asks about it, tell her you shut it off because the most important person is already in front of you... thank me later.

Tell him how much it bothers you, and that you feel like it's rude. If he doesn't respond to that-tell him to choose between his iphone and sex. You'll see the problem disappear veryyy quickly. =]

Asking him to pick his phone over you, isn't going to solve things. Sit him down and let him know that it bothers you A LOT when he stays on his phone. Tell him that he should be spending time with you, rather spending all his time on his phone. People get so caught up in their phones that they don't even know their doing it. If he knows how much it bothers you, he'll stop.

i think living in this day and age.. it's really common. and it sucks. my friends all have sidekicks and can't go a full minute without checking their myspace.
what i did was actually talk to them about it, in length. i said, "you're wasting your life compulsively checking your phone for messages from people who don't matter. i'm here and i'm your friend, i love you and i want to hang out with you and all you do is fucking ignore me."
i'm pretty sure they thought it was a bitchy move of me but they got over it and use their phone about half as much as they used to. good luck!
