Has social media killed romance?
“And vulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art
of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say,
"This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with
the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all
that I am not."(Kutcher)
Social media has really gotten in the way of how we build relationships
with other people. Why are we using
these websites for dating? I’m not saying that they don’t work or that we shouldn’t
use them, I’m saying that I feel if you have a hard time finding someone those
sites would be great, but not so you can have an over the computer
relationship. If you are truly looking
for a relationship than you shouldn’t be hiding behind that screen embrace the true
you and all that the other person can love about you. If you can’t be the real
you around them then they don’t deserve you.
In today’s society many of us use texting for everything,
even to say I love you. Texting is so impersonal, what happened to two people
meeting for the first time exchanging numbers and waiting in excitement for
that phone to go off. Then once it did talking on the phone for hours just truly
being who you are. Now a days you hardly hear a couple talk on the phone and
when they do it is usually a whole lot of awkward silence and running out of
things to say. So, we just text. Texting takes away the anticipation and the
missing of the other person. It is usually short texts and when you get a long
one it’s a huge deal because they actually put effort into it. Why is it there is
a difference in mood between ok…(Sad), Okay(so-so), k(mad), okay.(mad), Okay(:,We
look so into detail. We text people sometimes because through text or on the
computer we can be however we want to people we have just met, but is that a
good thing. We should want people to love us for who we are not who we pretend
to be
You may not think there is much of a difference but, write
someone a letter and you watch it will make them feel special. Seeing it in the
other persons handwriting makes it more sentimental, more personal.(413)
