I remember being mesmerized by my grandparents dating stories. My grandmother would tell me about the dances she attended on the air force base. She’d talk about all the ‘young gentlemen’ that she danced with. Those were the days where if the date ended with a kiss there were no further expectations! In today’s crazy world, dating has been redefined! So much so, that blind dates are almost obsolete.

 My friend Will is setting one of his friends up with one of his girlfriend’s friends. This used to be the kind of situation that would become a ‘blind date,’ Not anymore! Will’s friend has been texting his ‘blind date’ for the last few days. In fact, since they’ve never met they’ve even been sending each other picture text messages. They are interacting on a whole new level. They’ve never been out to dinner, but they are already establishing a relationship. Technology is totally changing the dating scene!

Have text messaging and on-line dating sites changed how people get to know each other? Do you have any techy-dating stories? Maybe you met on-line? Maybe you started texting before you ever met face-to-face? Tell me your stories…
