I'm sick of being the one that's left behind. It seems with all my relationships, I am the one that's left, its rare that I do the leaving. Even boys that I've dated for a spell and remain friends with seem to employ this attitude of disposability. If we are to remain friends folks, it works two ways - I cannot, and will not any longer, be the one making all the effort to reach out and try to make plans. And another thing - inviting me to a large gathering where I will see you for 30 seconds, perhaps, all night long does not constitute plans. Especially when I haven't seen you in months! Tweeting me and saying hi on facebook are great and all, but don't count as contact either.
This isn't a ploy for pity or crying out for help, those in the know will know me better than that, this is just me venting and getting shit off my chest. For as far as technology has taken us, I still want old fashioned, face to face contact every once in a while, especially from my friends!. I'm not looking to date a computer, society judges me enough for dating men!
All of this pondering has left me questioning technology. Are we better off with it? Are we forming lasting relationships when our only interaction is mostly online? Are they even relationships at all? Oh what tangled webs we weave...
