Modern dating


What’s all this about people twittering? All these people
Flittering from one method of communication to the next
Trying to work out which is best.

                                                 “Maybe I should send a text?
Are we ready for a phone call? Voice to voice contact might
Be too much too soon. I’m not convinced we’re ready for
Actual talking so maybe I’ll stick to Facebook stalking until
I know a bit more about her.”

                                             “Is this what you do? Determine
The potential of a love and whether it’s true based on what
They put on their Facebook page? Which, as we all know, is
Nothing more than a stage on which we play a part. Facebook
Knows nothing about the inside of our hearts.”

                                                                      “Mate! You are
Totally right. I’ll check her Twitter page, that’s much more light.
No one puts anything heavy on Twitter. It’s the easiest way to find
Out what she’s like: Funny? Flirtatious? Secretly bitter? What do
You think? And maybe, if she doesn’t seem crazy, I’ll ask her
Out for a drink. You’re right, this is so much better than
Checking her wall.”

                              “On second thoughts, why don’t you give
Her call? What’s the worst she can do? Say no and knock you back.
At least over the phone she’ll approach it with tact instead of a blunt
Personal message that ends “Please don’t write back”. Besides, she
Might hardly ever even check her wall, maybe she’s the type of girl
Who actually waits for a call. The worst that can happen is she hangs
Up, thinking you’re a bit of a prat.”

                                                      “Mate, I’m just not ready for that.”
