Technology is ruining relationships.

Remember, you probably don't, when people didn't have phones to make plans? All discourse had to be made in person.

Everyone is so overly reliant on technology these days. All these phone calls and letter writing.

Ridiculous.

I agree.

Everywhere you look someone has their friggin face in some kind of device, phone, computer, Tablets/Ipads.....IDK... kind of weird if you ask as me.

I stopped into a coffee shop a few days ago and people were just glued to their electronic leashes....

Granted, I'm on a computer as I type this, but I have a life outside of a computer screen...

With that said, endless texting with someone you meet online without ever getting together in person is stupid and a waste of time.

This guy needs to sh%& or get off the commode. Tell him in your next text that he needs to make plans to meet you by this weekend at the latest; otherwise, he can log back into POF and find a new texting buddy, because you've got better things to do.

Not accurate, this dude loves chatting on the phone

None of those people you saw at the coffee shop do though, I'm sure.

I meant it in the generalized sense.. of course some of those people have lives outside of the computer.

What is your major malfunction, btw, You always always always have to get argumentative.

It's like you get off on it......

It would be to your benefit to do it, considering that, in 2013, most other men won't.

Things like saying you're running late, or will call later... stuff like that.

I think it's more of younger generation thing... the 20's somethings, although I do know people in their 40's that text too much too...

You don't like texting or talking on the phone so how is someone supposed to get to know you?

You pick up the phone, use about 3 mins to make a date to meet up somewhere.


Does that sound OK???
