Making Friends – Past And Present
1998 -
“Hey, I’d like to get to know you better. Would you like to go out sometime?”
“Sure. Pass me a napkin so I can write my number down for you. Call me!”
2008:
“Hey, I’d like to get to know you better. Are you on Myspace?”
“I’m 1HottMoMMa from Miami Lakes. Add me!”
1998:
“Dude, my girl just paged me. She wants to know what I’m up to. Do you have a quarter? I need to find a payphone and call her.”
2008:
It’s been about ten years since I’ve been out there and how things have changed! Dating this day and age is a whole new world compared to when I was in my twenties. As if dating isn’t already confusing enough, these days a good understanding of consumer electronics and fluency in SMS language are basic requirements in communcation. And so I ask, WTF?
I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s going to be like when my daughter is old enough to date. Hopefully, I’ll still be hip enough to know what’s up. However, I don’t need to stress over that for awhile because she’s not dating until she’s twenty-five…LOL.
Some days I feel about as old as the dust on top of my collection of vinyl record albums. However, I did manage to get carded this weekend! ;-D
TTFN !!!
Oh mama, I feel your pain! Its harder the older I get! My 37th Birthday was last week and I can’t even believe it! I don’t feel this old! Plus the dempgraphic/ dating pool I fit in is so blurry! Where and how do you meet a good man? Ok well at least a guy who doesn’t drive me crazy that can put up with my ass! LOL
