Are you a Text-a-holic? (Dating Advice for Men and Women)

The relatively new technology called Textin' is destroying the way we effectively communicate with one another. Call me crazy but whatever happened to just calling some body and hearing their voice? Now don't get me wrong. I'm a big advocate for new technology but textin' is a cold and impersonal way of communicating. It only has a few positives: exclusivity, no awkward pauses, and quick messaging. Textin' is a very inefficient way of trying to get to know someone because there are no emotions involved, no sounds, apart from the click-clack sounds on a keypad, followed by an annoying ringtone. And worst of all, there is nothing intimate about it. And yes I know that more and more people are textin', but that does not mean that it's necessarily a good thing. These Text-a-holics are becoming a generation of mindless drones that are slowly losing the most basic and precious form of human interaction, speech! When it comes to dating, men and women need to call, hear, and speak to each other in order to establish a real personal connection.

Think about it, your intuition about a person is much clearer when you finally hear their voice over the phone for the first time. You also get to gauge their personality, their emotions, as well as their intellect much closely. Textin' should not be used as a dating tool because it does nothing to improve it. It keeps you more distant and disconnected from the person that you're trying to hook up with. Call the person that you're interested in, speak to them, hear how you both react to each others voices, setup a date together, and meet each other in person. Besides, if a person would rather text you than call you, he or she is either already in a relationship, a social outcast, very timid, or they're just plain flakey and secretive. And I don't think that's the kind of person you would want in your life. Now do yourself a favor! Stop textin' and start CALLING!

HE DOES NOT WANT TO MEET YOUR FRIENDS! (Dating Advice for Women)

Ladies! Ladies! Ladies! Let me tell you something about men and dating. We do not want to meet your friends! Yes, I know it sounds harsh but hear me out. Let's say we met at some moment in time, conversed, and decided to exchange phone numbers with one another. Now later on, we decide to contact one another for an official meet and greet. This official meet and greet can also be called a "first date", "meet up", or "hanging out". Now on a date, men are thinking that we are going to be meeting with you and only you! We do not want to meet anyone else! Not your friends, not your brother, not your mother, not your father, and especially not your crazy co-worker with the glass eye that won't stop staring at us. We want to meet only you because we are interested in getting to know you more and possibly have sex with you in the near future. And if you've proven to be more than just another sex buddy, we will promote you to honorary girlfriend! And by then, we will gladly meet your friends. I know that you bring your friends for confidence and safety reasons but, you really don't need them. Why bring them for confidence and safety? Men do not want a woman with low self-esteem. It's too much of a hassle. And when it's comes to safety, we are meeting at a public place for that reason alone. And if you're really unsure, you can also meet us in the afternoon at a public place that is familiar to you.

Bringing your friends to our meet up spot only proves to us that you don't trust us, you're an immature person who can't do anything without her friends, and that you probably have a boyfriend. So next time you're going to meet up with a guy that you like, lose your friends! We don't want to meet your friends!
