This is very true. We go out with a friend to eat and the first thing she does is "Check in" on Facebook and make a post "I'm here with my best friend eating taquitos" and then reply to everyone who comments and every while taking out the cell phone to answer, an environment is created between the cell phone and her, and you are practically out. Personally, if I am going to go out with someone, it is because I am going to offer my greatest attention to that person. You have the cell phone your whole life, people don't.
You said it all in this comment
Hello Vaderiq, what you say is very true and annoying,
Solution
When you arrive at the meeting, agree to leave the mobile in the center of the table and the first one to pick it up pays the bill. If he is stingy you can have a pleasant meeting, but if on the contrary he cannot put aside his obsession when you least save the account XD
Greetings.
