I feel it was rude.

Hi all. I went on a coffee date with a man today. I had matched with him on a dating site. We had spoken on the phone twice before and got on well. Anyway, during the coffee date we chatted really well for ages. One thing I did find very rude was that his sister phoned him and he took the call! He sat and chatted to her for 5 mins or so while I just sat there. It wasn't an emergency call. He was talking to her about a wedding she had been to. I think he does like me but I am not sure I felt a spark after meeting him. Am I over reacting to him chatting to his sister? I would never do this to anyone myself. Wtf.

If he thought it was an emergency but then isn’t, he could take the call and say hi, sorry can’t talk now, will call you later.

Yeah he is showing who he is... move on and next.
I remember being out with someone first meet and sat talking to a female work colleague on the phone about absolute crap.
