luvnpain Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Ever feel like technology has had an adverse effect on dating? Well, here's what happened. Met a guy and chatted him up. I was attracted but didn't have expectations because of different racial backgrounds and everyone is not opened to that. Well by the time I got home and washed up, I had a text. Yaay! He said he was glad I talked to him, with a sweet goodnight. So I thought maybe he could be interested. Well, everyday he has texted but no calls. The time of the texts, and what he told me he did for a living made me feel like I couldn't call. So, that initial spark is gone for me. Texts for me are not for conversation. I don't connect that way. So, is this strange? Am I too old school for the texting/myspace/twitter/facebook minded people of today? For those who primarily communicate by text, why do you feel it is a way to connect? For those who don't like communicating by text (or written word) initially, what specifically bothers you about it? For me, it is really impersonal and takes out nonverbal body language which I like to see to really take cues from a guy on attraction. It is good for fyi stuff, but not for getting to know a person.
