Romance may be still alive.....

I recently met a guy on line that has change my view of romance in the cyber age....We have establish a certain form of intimacy on-line and I am unable to explain it...It started off as most cyber romance's do...I met him while posting on a website....We argued over pertinent topics and he sent me a private message. We introduce ourselves and initiated conversation...This turn into more frequent interactions and we exchange phone numbers. Phone calls turn into multiple emails, numerous texts and all night phone conversations. Then we decided to send pictures. Of course, both of us sent high school pictures that were not truly accurate. After several weeks of this, we decided to meet...There were shy glances, awkward interactions and a lot of intimacy..... We went on tours of the city, romantic dinners and late night dancing. We wound up the weekend with a blanket picnic on the beach. This limited interaction has enhanced our phone conversations and has made it extremely difficult because of the distance...And yes, I said distance. He lives about 13 hours from me. Now we have begun to write poems and we both have discovered that we have a special skill for expressing ourselves through words...So what do I have to say about this right now, I will keep my opinion to myself and keep you updated.....I will admit that when I laid eyes on him it was as if watching a sunrise, receiving a first kiss or close to being a natural high. Well for today and today only...Romance might be still alive.......

How sick is this really getting.....

I attempted to give this cyber romance the benefit of the doubt. After logging on to several websites it has become apparent that this is what is considered as cool in our society today...If you are not a member of myspace.com, singles.net and other dating websites than you have no real connection to the world. What I find very disheartening is why the need to create the facade of establishing love connections ,when they are promoting and exploiting sex. They garner high revenues by charging menial fees to be able to pick out briars from the rose garden. You know longer have to look at pull apart the flower to see what is inside the bud, because it is made available for your viewing pleasure. Sick is the word that I utilize too explain this phenomenon. Women and men of all racial, professional and economic backgrounds are using these sites as a cover for risky sex encounters. Perverts and sexual predators see this as a virtual playground to prey upon unsuspecting underage males and females. No commitment seems to be a popular theme song and it has not RSVP or VIP appointments. It is all live, raw and in the nude for inspection. It really affected me as a young woman to see women like me exposing their nude bodies requesting to engage in group sex and other wild encounters. The biggest issue is for romantics are that they hold fantasies in our head expecting Ms. Right or Mr. Right to magically fall from heaven or a grocery store. Why leave your love life up to chance when you really can just look at the smorgasbord and make a choice that guaranteed to cause food poisoning rapidly? The smorgasbord can fill you up temporary but can caused death if you are not careful. Therefore, I pose this question to the world. How sick is this really getting and once again where is the romance in a cyber sex age...It seems to have disappeared...

Real Romance.....A myth

I love to debate frequently on this interesting topic. This is largely due to the increase of cyber sex sites and the decrease interest in doing things the good old-fashioned way. Remember when you receive that important phone call and they asked for that special date...it gave you butterflies and gave you a sense of being sought after. Now people are sitting behind their computers with web cams waiting on pornographic images and emails. In this cyber age, men and women are displaying their bodies, private parts and souls for all to view. They have endangered the the sanctity of romance and dating. Why get to know the cow when I can look, view, and ogle the milk...And if I am willing, I can meet up for dangerous group sex and risky sex encounters with no attachments and no commitment. I posed this question all of the time: why would they want to endanger their lives and take this risk? There are many people that engage in this behavior daily and have no qualms about their activities. They are adamant about displaying and enjoying their particular sexual proclivities with no shame. Whatever happened to you getting to know a person, establishing a relationship, dating exclusively and then jumping in...Well let me tell you...Flingles.net and other similar dating websites has become forums for prostitution, degradation, and dangerous sexual encounters...it has become a door for sexual perverts to indulge in their sick fantasies. Is romance in danger of becoming extinct? Where is Romance in this Cyber age...it is gone and forgotten.....
