I went on a date with a guy I met online and he spent the whole time texting and Tweeting. When I told him I thought he was being rude, he accused me of being “old fashioned” and said everyone does it. Do they?

No – and especially not on a first date! We’re all guilty of playing with our phones while waiting for someone or while someone’s in the bathroom, but to do it to the level he was is disrespectful and immature.
The only kind interpretation is he was nervous, but his reaction to you calling him on it doesn’t fit. Not worth a second chance, or date!
