Mix or total mismatch

Feburary 2nd, 2010
Cell phones and computers can be like your best friend. They go anywhere with you and keep you organized. (Or in my case, they help keep me disorganized! ) They help you stay in touch with people when you can't physically be with them. They play your favorite music whenever you want and always have photos on hand so you can walk down memory lane when you feel like it. To top it off, you can use cell phones and computers for business as well as pleasure.
But every coin has two sides.
With the fact you can get in touch with someone instantly that means almost no privacy. I've once gotten a call on my cell phone when I was in the bathroom and my friend was in the same building I was in. Also as much fun as it is to post pictures of the party you went to Friday night on face book, MySpace , or twitter you have to make sure they are pictures you don't mind friends, friends of friends as well as potential employers seeing.
Knowing that and the fact that I went to a wedding expo yesterday, I have wondered if technology and romance mix. It seems like a good way to keep in touch, send one another quick naughty or nice messages and let everyone else know if you're spoken for or not. With dating sites you can see pictures of potential partners as well as see if you can anything in common with them. So you will know before meeting them if you will be able to talk to them about something during dinner if nothing else.
But it can also cause miscommunication because you only see what the individual choose to post on their dating profile/face book. Sometimes what's on the internet may not be what you think. My friend Danielle and I have made a face book page for her plant. We named him Timothy and according to face book, he has gone out with both of us. We did it as a joke and to pass time.
(For those that care, my relationship with Timothy only lasted about two weeks. It didn't last because he likes the color green and I like the color blue. I will say though, he was a very good listener and really liked water.) Plus you may not know how often they update it. There's also the fact if you and your significant other break up, there's the tendency to visit your exes page to see if they're just as lonely as you are.
The cell phone can also be a cruel reminder of the fact you're single. If you're single the only people that call you are friends, family and work. That means you have no one to sext while watching Twilight and you want someone as cute as Edward to bite into you. ;0) Of course the phone is also all too happy to remind you of that fact you have no new messages. Of course there’s nothing like cuddling, kissing, and spending quality time with someone you’re attracted to and care about.
After my brief relationship with Timonthy, I think cell phones and computers should be like eye shadow. Eye shadow is used to help make a women look beautiful. But before eye shadow can work its magic on a woman’s eyes, they need a good foundation on first. In a relationship you need a good foundation offline so that the relationship doesn’t fall apart when wires get crossed online.
Unless your girlfriend sees something like a new picture of you kissing someone else. In which case, you're on your own there.
