Most people don't go on traditional dates
They are too afraid to go on blind dates
Too afraid to go on multiple dates
Potential couples fear rejection
So they text each other how they feel
Being spontaneous has lost a lot of meaning
At least it will be a Facebook post
A Facebook post to show status
A Facebook post to brag about seeing someone
Texting can ruin relationships
Texting leads to miscommunications
People rush to put labels on their thing
Because most people are too insecure to not have
some form of security saying that he's mine
I wish I could go back in time
Where dating wasn't a constant battle
A constant battle of showing your interest
While remaining distant enough to avoid suffocating the spark
Where you didn't have to worry about a good morning text
Where if you wanted to talk to someone you would call them
Where it was just you and them and not all your Facebook friends
Whom always put their two cents into where you two should be at
Where relationships weren't built over text and then destroyed in person
Oh how I wish I could go back in time
Kind of a ranty "poem." Today I came to the realization that I have never gone on a blind date or a traditional date where I know very little about the person before going out with them. So today i tried messaging someone on tinder and told them that I want to go on a traditional date instead of learning about one another through text. I told them they could pick the restaruant and I would pay. Then they told me that would be moving too fast for them...... I laughed so hard when she sent me that. It wasn't like I was inviting her over to my house for dinner. Dating has become such a **** show nowadays.
