The internet...Thank you for the thoughtful comment! The internet has had a definite impact on relationships and dating, with a long list of the pros and cons of it. Regarding your comments about how to find relationships these days at the age post-college, I would think that a dance floor would be a great place... people are crowded and everyone is nearly on top of everyone, it wouldn't have been hard for that guy to sidle up and say "hi"...if I was single and interested I may have smiled back, but if he had I would have just smiled and held up my ring (signature move (tm)). It says a lot about a guy that a friend was sent over, and yes, perhaps it was in correlation to the internet and being able to not face rejection directly. However, major turn off. Seriously! What happens if I had said yes?? Would the go-between signal him to come over? Gawd, so immature! People with a fair amount of confidence - at least as much to go up to someone and say hello - are still the way to go in my book. In fact, I think that's how I got most of my boyfriends in the past. Make eye contact, go up and say "Hi." I never had the patience to wait... And adulthood can make your life busy, but if one's intention is to meet people, you have to make the effort to get out there. ...The internet is great for finding things you like in your community! It's all a matter of putting yourself out there, and I think a lot of people are shying away from that, sadly!<br /><br /><br />Yay Bunheads!jessica mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681137785594891236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-22594658965882478222013-03-26T13:58:00.047-04:002013-03-26T13:58:00.047-04:00I wish I could say that that's not how people ...I wish I could say that that's not how people try to flirt and meet others these days, but about a month ago a friend of mine (while a bit drunk) basically told me to tell my good friend how cute she thought he was. I wasn't comfortable with the situation, and long story short nothing came of that (from all fronts). I'm just happy the friendships are all stick in tact. You're right, I think it has something to do with both rejection and also the internet - the internet has made both interaction/conversation far more difficult, but also has given people a false sense of pride about themselves. I haven't done the internet dating thing, and I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible, honestly, but I think it gives everyone a platform to exclaim how wonderful they really are and easily elaborate the truth, if they'd like.<br /><br />There's definitely something about being in this age range that's so strange and hard to process - the post-college, working out way into the real world or searching to be in the real world - age range. The 24 - 30s, maybe even a little past that? That could easily be off, but people are all searching for how to make it on their own and meet new people, but it's surprisingly more difficult than we realize. It's not like being in college where joining a club or attending an event can happen as easily as walking into the wrong room on a college campus (basically where those things are easily accessible), but now people have to search and that's something that takes effort and time. Most of that time and effort is swallowed up by work and tasks and being an adult, which just leaves less motivation or energy to get out there. Maybe that's another reason why people are resorting to middle school ways...<br /><br />Hopefully that makes sense. Sorry it's so long and most likely poorly worded. You just happened to hit on things I've been spending a fair amount of time thinking about lately... :)<br /><br />On a much lighter note, I've got to catch up on Bunheads. I haven't become totally hooked yet, but from what I've seen I've found it enjoyable.neverbeenheardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05410490144367642957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969303765880145371.post-56224942317152221112013-03-26T10:27:41.374-04:002013-03-26T10:27:41.374-04:00Ahhhh yes, so glad you are watching The League.
