Dating


Ok, so lately, I have noticed my brother has been into typing in Word. I don't mean like small paragraphs. At first I swore to God, that he was interested in starting his own novel, which in turn surprised me, seeing as he isn't really the type to take interest in such a thing. Being the great investigator that I am, I straight out asked what his deal was, and he told me. He met a girl. Because he was kind of pining over his ex still, I congradulated him and asked how they met.

A resiliant red started to creep up into his face, as he stumbled and choked on his words, ambling to skirt around the issue. He actually met her in the internet, and as it turned out, he had met her on eharmony. As it turns out, frustrsted with not finding people with similar views as he, was quite difficult, and so he decided to take on the world of internet matchmaking. He has encouraged my sister to at least try it, since she hasn't really found anyone either.

Jokingly, I told him I would wait til I was about twenty five until I would cave in. I know that internet dating is actually pretty successful, and people get married with the matches they fidn through there. In reality, I know it is a new wave of technology with things to come. In my reality, I am a bit old school. I want to meet my future husband the old fashioned way, with a great story, where an action occurs and startes off a series of spectaculary amazing events. I want to tell my kids that we were introduced, or that I tripped over something and he laughed at me, causing me to hate him for a while. Technology is the thing, and my generation is riding with it, but I am having trouble in enoying the wave.
