Technology is nice, it really is but I think it's making us more and more dependent on less personal forms of communication. I admit I'm pretty old-school when it comes to a lot of things and especially when it comes to dating or like they used to say back in the day "courting". Text-messaging is fun and convenient when you're out and about or at work and just want to send off a quick message. What I can't get with is using text messaging as the only means of communicating with a person..ie, a full out conversation....ummmmm no, not my thing.
I remember a while back telling a friend about a guy I had met and that all he wanted to do was text message instead of actually calling and she was like "you need to get you a man 40 and over because that's what the younger men are into these days". I was pretty much like well I don't care if it's the year 2050 I still like to talk on the phone from time to time. I think maybe I was born in the wrong decade. I should have been dating in the 1950's or 60's when they had these or wrote hand-written love letters, or took you to the local diner for a milk-shake...lol. Being the hopeless Leo romantic that I am that would have been right up my alley.
I guess it was no surprise then that this quiz said I tend to fall for the sensitive romantic types. Sounds about right...the type that picks up the phone and actually calls...lol. That's about all I have to say about that. ~More later.

| Your Happy Word is "Bliss" |
 You see the divine in everything. You believe that every moment, person, and creature is unique and special. You are an oasis of calm in this chaotic world. You never lose your head. You can feel totally elated and exuberant from the smallest pleasures. You don't hold back when it comes to ecstasy. |

It's said that I will fall for the girl next door type. Thant sounds about right.
I hear ya. I think, if you allow it, technology will slowly erode the good communication that it takes to maintain any kind of relationship.
I used to be so anti-text...until I got a BB....shame on me. It's definitely not my sole means of communication, but it does make it a little easier to stay in touch but for romantic relationships there should be a balance.
I'm pretty big on face 2 face communication, but if I had 2 choose one I would talk on the phone because texting can be misinterpreted at times or aleast when I do it. I feel that tone can be confusing if u aren't that text savy.
@CurvyGurl..I still have a flip phone so I'm wayyyy behind the times..lol *smh*
@Champ..Text savy.....so whatchu tryin to say I don't know how to text? LOL!!! I'm trippin.
I'm over 40 and I like to text. Don't look at my statement, because you'll see that I send thousands of texts a month.
But then again, I just love to hear a soft feminine voice. There's just something about the tone and texture of the sounds of a feminine voice that puts me completely at ease.
@ Reggie...wow thousands of texts a month? I'd need the unlimited plan for that. Now females I don't mind texting you ain't gotta call me but if it's a man trying to get next to me then ummmmm he gonna need to get them fingers to dialing..lol
.......ahhhh that's precisely why I have that unlimited text/picture messaging plan.
