IMing this hopless romantic’s perspective
under 100hookup,Online Dating,RelationshipsAdmittedly, I’m an old fashioned gal. It took me a while to accept that in today’s age the majority of couples that get together meet ala the Internet. What happened to kismet? Can you imagine what our great-grandparents would think…you met your Beshert how? On the computer? What is that? And how do you meet someone?… Fast Forward …not only do couples meet on the Internet but people text each other to set up those dates. The sport of dating has turned into a practice of efficiency and multi-tasking. Is the ever present accessibility beneficial or destructive? And then of course there is even IMing. I recognize I may be in the minority here but I prefer not to spend my free time in front of the computer and when I log on to 100hookup, I like it to be a quick venture. Respond to some emails and log off. But inevitably some guys prefer to chat via IM. I prefer to be outside playing and meeting “you” in person… I’m guessing some people find it efficient and effective verses the back and forth of “old fashion emails.”
I know online dating works. I have met so many people who have met their partners this way. And yes, even including my mom and her current sweetie. Perhaps this old fashion gal has to give-in to technology, IMing and this modern age of dating.
