Text Dating

I have been riding the dating train for some months now, and have already found it to be an exciting yet bumpy ride. Adult dating is a process. Full of unwritten rules, game playing, and much higher stakes than adolescent dating. I'm not sure how much I love the game. I've been having trouble wrapping my brain around the rules and regulations. Penalty here, penalty there, I'm still playing but I have been benched quite a few times and to be honest needed the break. 
In any case, I decided to blog about my experiences in adult dating. I recognize the lack of privacy I am inviting into my life but figure what do I have to lose. What's the point in secrets? We all have to push through the shit of love at some point, I'm just inviting you to share in the shit with me, at least I won't be as lonely as one can often find themselves when they are indeed in the shit. So if invading my privacy sounds intriguing to you by all means engage, if not exit now. 

First shit for thought - TEXT DATING. What is this? The last few men who have asked me out, have done so via text. I think this is pathetic. Please do not ask me out like this. I would like the man I end up with to have the cojones to pick up a phone. Has facebook/myspace (who uses that anymore really?)/twitter made us lazy daters? Electronic communication lets us off the hook in terms of our comfort zones. Its much easier to sound nonchalant in a text and for those of us who are shy its an easy out. I don't care. That's no excuse. Where's the romance? I want to hear a voice, I want to see a face. You can't read someones emotions or intentions in a text, which is why it is so safe, so destructive, and so inappropriate for dating. I have asked out two men recently; one I called, the other I walked right up to. If I can do it, you can do it. Reattach those cojones and dial the phone!
