When you're on a blind date but you've left your phone at home ..

If I were on a date and the guy started checking his phone I would walk out

Excuse yourself, go to the restroom and never return. Leave with a full belly first.

Date night means no phones

I'd run!

how the heck are you gonna get that "mid supper phone call" that you can either say is your mom and you'll call her tomorrow - or the "emergency at home/work" and you have to go home now?

On a blind date it is imperative to always have a friend ring you after two hours for a pre arranged emergency reason to leave.
If required🤣

I had a blind date once. She was very nice. We would have gotten closer, but her seeing-eye dog kept trying to protect her from me.

I only had one blind date in my life, and it was to help out a fraternity brother. It was beyond awful.
