a relic from my dating days I’ve been Generation X’ed; I got the message by text. A last minute change and my day was rearranged. The zombies cross the street, staring at their phones. They cannot tolerate a human voice, and yet, cannot be alone. It’s not a “relationship,” despite the  frequent  f***king. It’s just a casual acquaintanceship, full of frantic commitment-ducking. Ambivalence and  indecision aren’t what I call attractive. In fact, they summon my derision. So, I must be proactive. It’s not that you aren’t **** you’re just too Generation X-y.

Generation X'ed (PF re-post)
a relic from my dating days I’ve been Generation X’ed; I got the message by text. A last minute change and my day was rearranged. The zombies cross the street, staring at their phones. They cannot tolerate a human voice, and yet, cannot be alone. It’s not a “relationship,” despite the  frequent  f***king. It’s just a casual acquaintanceship, full of frantic commitment-ducking.
