TMaybe it's the smaller town I'm in now, maybe it's that the world isn't the way it used to be with F2F being put on the backbench to more impersonal means of communication like writing a blurb to sell yourself on a meeting site. Honestly, there isn't much 'dating' going on where you get nervous because you like her and she is waiting in the hope you won't be too late or too early as if it all means something to speak about the way you like her. So you have to don a more sensitive approach in the beginning as to not unwittingly offend an open heart hoping for a 'sign'. Nowadays it just feels brutal and estranged from what human interaction used to be. After all etiquette of communication and being softer with peoples emotional states does NOT take much effort and isn't' it nicer when you leave people (even if you have no plans to contact them again) feeling like they have hope in the world to run into someone jovial? I feel better within myself when I have an amicable interaction. So let's do that :-). That way regardless of whether I am close enough to buy you some flowers and a movie ticket or a meal so we can just revel in the electric nature of our newfound delights in one another, you will feel like I have and that's what matters.
