Rantings of a Work Wife

Thanks to technology there are so many ways to stay in touch. I almost think there are too many ways to keep in touch. Cell phones are our personal little computers. You can talk to almost everybody you know at almost any time of the day. Social networks, instant messenger, chat rooms, and..... remember emails? These all great ways to to stay in touch with your siblings, your best friends, work affiliates, and acquaintances. But when it comes to your significant other it's best if you take your romance offline. Instead of myspace, romance him face to face.
So much can be misconstrued and lost in translation when the majority of your communication is online. Also, what will you talk about when you finally do see each other at the end of a long day if you've been IMing, tweeting, and texting ALL DAY. An "I love you" text or something racier might be good foreplay to keep your love life exciting but unless your in a long distance relationship that should be the extent of it. After all this person wakes up beside you and sees you at your best and worst. They aren't dating your carefully crafted online persona. They know the real you, who always burns the toast, & leaves wet towels in the floor.
If your relationship is just in it's beginning stages you want this person to fall in love with the real you, not a series of witty online quips. Too much availability during a budding romance can make it crash and burn. In this era it's impossible not to google your new beau. But I highly recommend getting to know a potential mate in person, because that is whom you will be spending your time with.
