is this what we've come to?

last night a boy asked me why i never text him.
he was rather upset by this fact.

he then said that he usually only asks girls on dates that text him.
to which i responded that i usually only text boys who have asked me on dates.

to which, of course, he said that he would take me on a date so i would finally text him.

which is such a beautifully horrid and backwards idea that my roommates and i laughed for an entire evening about it.

and here we are, twenty-first century, connecting personally so we can finally connect virtually.
which is all we really want, isn't it?
a little virtual connection?

oh for the days of formal courtship, letter-writing, and house-calls.
