Most Hinge users think putting your phone away leads to a better date. Credit: Hinge "When you put your phone away, it's easier to focus on the other person and create those memorable first-date conversations that propel you into a relationship," Ury said.

"MIT professor Sherry Turkle found that when your phone is out, the quality of the conversations goes down," Ury continued. "People naturally tend to discuss more shallow topics because there's a fear that, at any moment, the phone will interrupt them."

Here are Hinge's top six do's and don'ts for phone etiquette during dates:
Put your phone on silent and keep it out of sight.
If you have to use your phone to look at a restaurant’s QR code menu or respond to an urgent message from your roommate, do it quickly and then put your phone away again.
If you have plans for after the date, make the arrangements in advance, including what time and where you’ll meet, so you’re not multitasking during the date.
Try not to get into any intense conversations or read work emails right before the date, since this can distract you and make you feel like you need to get back to someone.
Don't pull your phone out during the date to show someone a meme. Instead, use this as a way to connect with them later.
Leave wearable tech, such as your Apple Watch, at home or turn off your notifications so you won’t be tempted to glance at it. That's a screen too!

The first person to break buys the next round."
