VICKIE M. FROM TALLAHASSEE, FL WRITES: I’ve been dating my boyfriend for about six months but he’s always on his phone texting his friends and passing around stupid jokes. Just a few weeks ago, he got one of those “smartphones” so now when he’s not texting, he’s playing games or using his phone to take stupid pictures and sending them to his friends. What should I do?
Funny, isn’t it, how these modern devices are called “smart phones” yet the people under their spell often have the manners of a chimpanzee enthralled by a new, shiny toy. It sounds to me like your man-child acquaintance is too preoccupied with his social network to realize that real life (and a real woman) is about to leave him sitting on the curb searching for a satellite signal.
Give him one stern warning: Dump the phone or you’ll dump him. If he doesn’t make the right decision, don’t worry, there are plenty of men out there who can appreciate the difference between a good woman and a childish joke from “JerseyDude77.”
