So, a couple of things I've learned recently.
1) Guys ask gals on dates via SnapChat (what's snapchat?!)
2) Guys and gals don't call each other on the phone anymore.
First thing's first - SnapChat. If you don't know what it is, good, but I'm about to tell you.
It's basically an app that you can post a picture, and whoever you send it to can only see it for 3 seconds up to 24 hours. After that, it's gone "forever" (We all know nothing is gone forever on the internet). If in the wrongs hands, this could be a REALLY creepy app, and recipe for trouble. ANYWAY.... Apparently guys take a selfie (don't even get me started on selfies), and put a caption on it "will you go to the movies with me? my mom is driving." If you can't ask a girl on a date WITH YOUR VOICE, what makes you think you can talk to her FACE TO FACE in real life? No logic. None. It's awkward. The whole thing is awkward.
Now, onto guys and gals not talking on the phone anymore. It was recently brought to my attention that "People don't talk on the phone anymore. It's weird." Someone told me, after not being texted by a friend in a few days, "(insert name here) hasn't communicated with me in 3 days." I nearly fell out. What is happening? First the Biebs gets arrested, and now this is considered communication. Surely a sign of the end times.
My most fav memories, you know WAAAYYY back in 2006, were of me and my boo staying up late and talking on the phone. My favorite time of the day was when he would call. Yes, we texted, too (they did have that back then), but it wasn't the bulk of our communication.
I'm so sad and feel like kids these days (did I really just say that?!) are missing out on the best parts of getting to know someone. Hearing them laugh, instead of reading LOL, the nerves thinking about if a conversation gets an awkward silence instead of sitting and wondering if they were going to respond to your Snappy (oh dear). What about being able to tell if someone's smiling on the phone, instead of just seeing a :).
My most special memories are hearing my boyfriend (now hubby) clear his throat anytime there was even a half second of silence on the phone, and hearing the nervousness in his voice when he told me he loved me, IN PERSON. I would be so sad if my future children never had these memories.
I'm not hating on texting. It's convenient, and you can do it while you're going to the bathroom. You know you all do it.
I gotta go. I'm in a real deep texting conversation with my husband. We're planning our future via text. (SEE HOW SILLY THAT SOUNDS?!)
