Who do you think was wrong?

At the end of the day he is rude enough to ignore you, you called him out on it and he didn't like it. Obviously as I didn't see what happened myself It's very hard to say what tone of voice you had when saying it, but if you said it politely, then he shouldn't have been rude and you had every right to set that boundary and wanted the same respect you were giving him...not ignoring. But if you yelled it at him then maybe you could have said it in a better way like 'is everything okay, as I noticed you're on your phone?'...that way it sounds like less of a demand but a question to get him engaged. But its happened now. I would move on and just keep this in mind for next time and hopefully you won't get ignored. 

OK missy. What made you think you have the right to talk to him like he’s a child? He saw right into you when you told him to do that. You have the typical female entitlement complex most women have. I hope he ghosts you. Go find a beta boy you can abuse. 

I guess he came to a fork in the road...one direction was with you, the other...his phone. He made his choice, now move on. As handy as cell phones can be, they'll lead to the downfall of mankind. When a guy walks away from a sexy young lady to be with his phone, civilization is doomed.

If he doesn't want to talk you can't force him find someone else to converse.

Anyone who talks to you like that is not a strong person who knows how to respect others. Mutual respect is one of the keys to any long lasting relationship. I would run like the wind away from this guy.

May I suggest that the first question to ask yourself when considering whether or not to date someone is, “Is this person a strong person?” If they’re not, no matter how much you like them, how much they like you, or how “cute” or “hot” they are, - please don’t date them. A strong person has good character (honesty, integrity, trustworthiness), displays a positive attitude (cheerful, caring, friendly, forgiving, helpful, and respectful), fulfills their responsibilities (for handling people who are pains in a positive way, for always trying to make a good choice, for taking care of themselves, for serving others), gives their best effort, and demonstrates self-control (of their body, anger, mouth and money).

My suggestion is that you put in the effort necessary to become a strong person (if you’re not already) and eventually look for this type of guy (otherwise you’re setting yourself up for a broken heart). Unfortunately this type of man is difficult to find – but save yourself the heartache and don’t settle for less.

(Please remember that you eventually want a 50 or 60 year marriage - not a 5 or 10 year marriage.)

Hope this helps!

PS The best way to get to know a strong man without dating is to participate in the activities of a community service or a school organization.

It always helps to know ages.  We don't know if you're 16 or 30.  But asking who was "wrong" is pointless.  Nobody is going to tell you that you were the wrong one here.  So now what?

My point is this.  I've been happily married for almost 15 years and in all that time, my husband has never even come close to talking to me like this guy talked to you.  Sure, we've had arguments and 1 or 2 got kind of loud.  But he loves and respects me too much to ever talk to me like that (and vice versa).

That's my answer.

Yikes! Do not ever, EVER let a man get away with calling you names. It's the first sign of an abusive nature. You're lucky you got out of this one. 

He was way out of line & you just dodged a major bullet.

What now? 

Congratulate yourself for not accepting that sort of behaviour or feeling the need to accept less than you deserve. 

"What now" is that you congratulate yourself for dodging a bullet.

First he was quite rude, then when you called him on it, he said utterly unacceptable things to you. It's really wonderful that he's avoiding you. May it continue.

You were right.  I mean we don't know what tone you used when you asked him to put his phone down, and maybe your tone was harsh, but he was WAY out of line by what he said to you in return regardless what your tone was.  He sounds like a turd.
