Some people love dating. They enjoy meeting new people and
experiencing new activities. They're social animals. They go to speed dating
and networking events without a (figurative) gun pointed to their head.
I've never actually met these fictional people. I have no idea what remote island on earth they must inhabit. I've just heard rumors
about them.
For most of us, dating is a drudge. Dating makes you feel
like you're the old time prospector during the Gold Rush. You keep panning for
gold and coming up with nothing. Or you think you've found something, and it
turns out to be nothing and you feel like a fool afterwards.
So instead of dating you end up staying home and watching
too much reality TV. And pretty soon that's all you're doing. You know you need
to get out…but you can't talk yourself into it. Would it help you at all if you knew that men don't like
dating either?
Well, at least there are aspects of it that men find just as
awkward and off-putting as you do. And here's the most intriguing results of a
recent survey: new technology is making it harder for humans to communicate
instead of easier.
Men say the biggest source of their frustration is text
messaging. 32% of the men in the survey said that they don't know what to say
in a text message to someone they had just started dating or when to send it.
So,
while you're sitting next to your iPhone wondering why the guy you just started
dating that you really like hasn't texted, it's because he's sitting next to
his iPhone trying to dream up something wonderful to say and wondering when
would be the best time to send it to you.
Does this make you feel any better about all the awkwardness
that goes on when you're first dating someone new? I didn't think so. Just wait
'til you hear what men have to say about the awkward first kiss…
