[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry, but he’s not that into you. Dump, block, next please! [/quote]

OP: Why won’t he just tell me this? How can I ask him this directly to get a real answer?[/quote]
Because he is a coward and doesn’t want to ruffle the waters, because he wants to keep you around for the benefits he is getting from you, because he doesn’t value you…whatever the reason is he’s telling you with his actions what his answer is. Even if you ask him, he’ll use his words to pacify you and then keep his actions the same. You’ve already had this conversation before, he is showing you he literally doesn’t care.[/quote]
Wait, sorry. I only sped read your OP. My PP stands but you seem to be pretty needy/controlling and there’s no way you should be having this many fights in the first 6 months of dating. You’re mutually incompatible.[/quote]

IMO, she doesn’t sound needy or controlling at all. She asked the dude to put his phone away when they’re together on a date. That’s basic manners. I wouldn’t give a man a second thought if he texted throughout a dinner with me. [/quote]
I agree, that’s not unreasonable and I would drop the guy right then and there too if it happened twice. It’s the being anxious and asking him if there’s something wrong (because he seems to be losing interest, wtf, you should be wondering if YOU’RE interested in a guy who forces you to sit in silence??) and having the same fight/conversation over and over and over again that is needy and controlling.[/quote]

OP: He explained it to me as thus: if we were having breakfast and I opened a newspaper to read up on what’s happening in the world, he wouldn’t be offended. So why should I be offended when he does virtually the same thing on his phone during breakfast?

Obviously, I don’t agree with that. Just sharing what I’ve been fed.[/quote]

The newspaper analogy doesn't hold water - as someone who is old enough to have done this, that was, or could be an actual shared experience - he reads one section while you read the other and then, recommend something - "oh here, read this!".... what is on his phone is completely different than what is on your phone and it's clear that whatever he's occupied with, he's not sharing it with you so, no, it's not like him opening up the newspaper.
