Since my last post about Social Media and Dating went over so well I am going to write something else about the subject matter. In this day and age when communication or avoidance of communication is at its abundance it is hard to tell when to say what you want to say. The beginning of relationships and the entire courtship thing is hard. It isn’t the easiest thing in the world.
You often wonder, what do you say, when do you say what you want to say, and when are you going to get out of limbo? I know these questions are never easy and usually their is horrible timing on everyone’s part.
So why do we bother with it at all? Why does when something that seems so great turn out so bad? I have been wondering about this for the past night. How could someone go from cooking you dinner and wanting to spend a lot of time (on dates, they averaged 5.5 – 6.5 hours) with you to NOT wanting to go out with you at all.?
It just seems odd this dance that we do. Social Media allows for us to know what our ex daters are doing all the time. With constant status messages on Facebook or Twitter you can figure it out even if you aren’t talking. Is that a good thing or bad?
What do you do when you are subject to all this communication. Plus, if someone is genuinely interested is the telephone used as a TELEPHONE and not as a texting device?
People still use a telephone for phone calls? lol. I think all this media communication makes it harder when ending a relationship with someone. It’s hard to get that closure that’s needed when they are still right there within reach. Yes I know, I’m not single, but it doesn’t mean I can’t imagine how hard it would be. I was single once. lol.
Well there was the opportunity to end it in person. He chose to walk out of the event and tune me out during the entire thing. So basically, the writing was on the wall. Why not end it there, when the opportunity is there?
