I wonder how it is these days between two people who are romantically involved or not even there yet, just have known each other for just a little over few days and kind of like each other and would like to proceed a little forward to explore if there are any prospects of getting romantically involved.
The beginning of a new relationship brings in such beautiful feelings. Exploring other persons reactions to little things like making a phone call but putting it down the moment you hear their voice on the other end not knowing what to say, passing by ignoring them a little, trying really hard to avoid them not wanting to give away the fact that you are dying to check out their every single move and analyze them to see if that is somehow related to you :) Aaah! those sweet nothings.
I think all those delicate gestures have become super ancient already. In this digital era everything is public. More or less! Facebook, twitter, non stop updates about every single breath you take and publicly talking about anything and everything in your life does not leave much for imagination.
You meet someone new, the first reaction is to Google their name, check their Facebook a/c, their wall, their friends list, their likes and dislikes, twitter updates, go a step forward and check their LinkedIn profile to see their work history, analyze why they studied what they did and why they worked at the places they worked, amazon and eBay shopping history, wish lists, Picasa/Flickr pictures so on and so forth.
And god forbid if they are into blogging (non technical stuff) that's it you have got a free pass into their soul. It gets very easy at this point to soul search and see if this person is right for you, your wavelengths match or not and ditch the person just after you hear their name and not even seen their picture or met them in person once.
Whatever happened to the uncertainties involved in meeting strangers getting to know the traditional way or should I say the ancient way and slowly nurture your feelings and let them evolve from liking to love. The bliss is all gone. Hmm....
I pity this age youth for not having all that we had. They are missing on all these beautiful things. But again they have an advantage too. They don't have to have to deal with the debate that your heart and head go into whether to listen to your heart and get carried away with your feelings or listen to your head which warns you with all the tell tale signs which might make this relationship not work. With all the information overload you have, and if you are smart enough you can connect the dots and decide right away if this person is right for you or not.
But for sure you are going to miss that new feeling,the beginning of a new relationship, the longing to see or talk to each other etc. I am glad I am not from this age and I am old fashioned even for my age :) I did benefit from all the subtle nuances of a new relationship and cherish them even Today.
