If you guys forgot; I'm the edit assistant here, and have the occasional meep meep. Today, I need to vent, re: dating.
Whatever happened to opening the door for the lady? Or, walking her home?
The other day the girls & I went to a club for a friend's birthday (note: I'm in school up in RI, so by club, I mean "the club", the one which everyone goes to on the weekends). I met a cute guy, and, I must say, we hit it off pretty well. The conversation was not forced, it was just flowing.
Sparks aside, he also managed to do everything right: bought me a drink, danced with me and managed to slip in a few kisses here and there.
Unfortunately, my night came to a screeching halt when my "responsible" friend realized the bottle of wine she downed wasn't sitting too well.
We needed to evacuate immediately.
As I was making my good-bye rounds (double-cheek air kisses, and sorority hugs), McDreamy was next in line...
The moment of truth awaited.
Would we exchange numbers after a night of heavy making out flirting, or would the fun end here?
The suspense ended with a dud: "Friend me on Facebook,” he said after the obligatory parting kiss on the cheek.
Music stopped, dropped my red solo cup & my face went white.
Facebook? Like, really? (Insert Elle Woods voice here.)
When it comes to dating, it seems as if our generation hit an all time low.
In about 20 years we've gone from phone calls (Home phones. Omg. Did he leave a message on my family machine!? He must really love me.) down to texting, then slumped to e-mail, and now, we've hit rock bottom at Facebook.
Combine that with a dying sense of chivalry, and the dating world is forever changed.
With every breakthrough in technology, men get a new excuse to be more distant while we're checking our blackberries, voicemails and (sigh) Facebooks for some form of communication.
So, with my quick answer letting him know he can do the ‘friending’ up in this piece, let's see if Mr. Charmer lives up to my meager expectations.
If nothing comes of it, I can at least gain an ally in Mafia Wars.

omg. hahaha well, it's sad but true. I typically won't meet up with an online date until I can stalk their facebook page first. But yes - when you've already met, er.....made out ;) with the person, for lack of a better word, in-person, "Facebook friending" over asking for a number is unnacceptable!
This is so true.. and so sad! That's why I'm glad I'm done with dating! I was still in the "text message" period.. but I did get a few myspace messages from my then-future husband. I was like. no. You need to calll me. Hahaha!
