What happened to the days when a man actually called you on the phone to wish you good morning... or even left you a lovely message saying "Hi what are you doing... would you like to go out tonite!" Then you call them back and talk for 5 hours and don't realize where the time has Gone... and please don't give me the I'm too busy crap... cause we make time for what we want. Call me old fashioned but I want that back... there was a time when a suitor would come to the house and sit on the porch with the one he liked because there were no phones.
I know we live in the age of technology but there is nothing like the personal touch. For some reason guys think it easier to text... because they may be "too busy" to talk... well it takes more time to type what you are saying then to place a call and for me to actually hear your voice... when texting, things can easily get lost in translation...and I feel like the voice of the person you like is the sweetest thing imaginable! Okay, there are times when texting is okay... for example"running late" or "in a meeting and was thinking of you".
I love the sound of a voice when it's being sarcastic... Or telling some corny joke... it means a connection a bond like you are truly listening and understanding... and I the same for you... remember when people used to say.. you sound so sexy on the phone... and listen to your sleepy voice I love it!
Since when are we dating if all we do is text... and I haven't even seen your face since we met... I am smart enough to know you are not that busy. Fellas, just know that to us it's like your not that interested... we thank you for the attention and taking the time... but really that's worth about a grain of salt.
What I really want to know is when this transition occurred and when did this become an acceptable form of communication for dating someone. Dating this day and age has become some weird non traditional... hot mess of an activity... So at this moment thank you Greg for actually giving a sister a call... right after we met and leaving a message... and calling me to see if I wanted to go to lunch... Yes I do ;)!
Kudos to the men who still value the personal touch...
I swear I was just having this conversation with a girlfriend at work today! This new age texting thing is just laziness. When I was in the dating game some years back, I remember when I would come home to an answering machine full of messages. Now I'm surprised to hear from friends what a phenomenon it is to date via texting. Whack! A phone call is much more personal and says "I wanna' get to know you."
