A partner who is on a date but only looks at his phone

Even though we're together,

than me in front of you,

I'm just looking at my smartphone screen.

Even if you talk, the answer is appropriate.

Even though it was a date I was looking forward to,

It feels like I'm alone

I'm gonna miss you.

There may be no offense to the person.

Or contact of work,

It's just a habit.

But, uh,

More important than the reason

I want to cherish our time together.

Whether that feeling is conveyed.

Just because you're a lover,

Just being in the same space

It is not to be satisfied.

Because there is time to look each other in the eyes and laugh,

I think I want to see you again.

With the person next to you,

Are you able to spend your heart together?

The troubles of love

... Read moreデート中にパートナーがずっとスマホを見ていると、まるで一人でいるかのような孤独感を覚えることがありますよね。私も以前、同じような状況を経験しました。当時は「自分だけが楽しみにしていたのかな」と悲しくなり、気まずい雰囲気が続いてしまいました。 しかし、相手のスマホ使用には仕事の連絡やクセが影響していることも多いと知り、無理に怒ったり責めたりするのではなく、まずはお互いの気持ちを丁寧に伝え合うことが重要だと感じました。例えば「あなたと一緒にいる時間がとても大切だから、少しだけ目を合わせて話せると嬉しい」という風に伝えることで、相手も無意識のうちにスマホに注意が向いてしまっていたことに気づきやすくなります。 実際に試してみると、スマホを少し置いてお互いの目を見ながら話す時間が増え、自然と笑い合えるようになりました。そうした時間が、また会いたいと思える恋人との“心の距離”を縮めてくれるのだと実感しました。 また、デート中ずっとスマホを見てしまう背景にはストレスや疲れが関係していることもあります。もし、仕事や他のことで忙しいパートナーなら、「今ここにいる時間は二人だけの大切な時間」と理解し合う工夫が必要かもしれません。 まとめると、デート中にスマホばかり気にするパートナーに対しては、理由を責めるよりも「一緒にいる時間を大切にしたい」という気持ちを素直に伝え、少しずつスマホから離れる時間をつくる工夫をすることが大切です。心のつながりを意識したコミュニケーションが、恋愛関係をより豊かにしてくれるでしょう。
