My brother (who is awesome) told me recently that a girl had asked him out via Facebook chat and he was pissed. He didn’t think it was cool. What is normal asking out behavior? I really have no idea. I wouldn’t have the faintest idea if it’s normal or not. What’s wrong with picking up the phone? If you have something to say, an email or chat is nice, but isn’t it nice to hear someone’s voice? Skype with live stream is better than being asked out via chat. Unless, it’s someone you don’t want to have call you. Maybe that’s the real problem. Just because you are “facebook” friends doesn’t mean that you are real friends. I heard someone once say to a friend, “Can I facebook you?” Their response was, “Sure, we can be “facebook” friends.” FB can help you get to know someone, or just be another notch on the belt. I’ve got soooo many friends- look how cool I am. I originally thought that I could get away with only having my real friends be my fb friends, then I realized that I didn’t want to hurt people’s feelings (unless they really annoy me). I’ve had to hide a few people because I don’t want to read five times a day about their work out. Yes, you are buff… I don’t care. People probably feel that way about me.. I always want to post what yummy treat I have just devoured. The other problem, I suspect, is that you don’t always want to give your phone number to some stranger who may never stop texting you. LOL… I guess facebook in this sense is an in-between, to check that person out to see if they are normal enough to date. We’ve all got that friend who just can’t help post about how lonely they are, how sad they are. Those posts just scream.. run!
I admit it, the prospect of dating scares me. Not sure that I’ll ever be ready. Just want to have fun without it being complicated. I’m hoping that I can just go do lots of fun, exciting things full of adrenaline with great people and never realize that they are dates. Denial sounds like a good place right now…
Random pic of me... hate blogging without pics!
So many things to think about! I agree asking someone out on facebook chat is kind of weird. But it seems that these days text/chat is the way a lot of people will go. Skype would be hard because you'd actually see the persons reaction, what if you don't want to out with them, how do you hide that? I suspect you'll get lots of blind dates as well.
ReplyDeleteP.S. you pic is so cute, love the hair cut and color!
Hair cut rocks! And do you really want to date? Already? Wow - you are braver than me.... Must keep me in the loop on how these types of adventures commence.
