Dating today is so different now. Technology has really changed the whole scene. What with match site dating and texting and email, it really is a different world. And I'm not so sure I like it. As much as I find it easy to avoid talking to someone I don't want to converse with, I find it harder to get to know someone if you mainly communicate through texts and emails. And truthfully, I don't have time to answer my phone and chat awhile anyway. I work all day and take care of my child in the evenings. So a brief email to confirm a date works fine. But can you still really get to know someone if there is no verbal communication during the week? Does this slow the getting-to-know-you process? It seems to take away from the whole concept of a guy trying to woo a girl. What kind of romantic courtship is taking place through a text? It seems to diminish the importance of the date. It keeps it on a casual level. So is this letting guys off easy?

Interesting topic! Technology certainly has put a new spin on things.
I've found it easier to get to know someone through text or emails, because it's an easy ice-breaker. It'll be less comfortable during the date.
However, if I don't hear from the guy during the week I would deem him uninterested in me and I would write him off as un-date-able. I think there should be something, a simple "Hello, how are you" on text would even suffice to show some interest.
I wouldn't say technology only lets guys off easy. It definitely lets women off easy as well.
AMEN sista! I think I am right there with you... what to do what to do... It's nice to see i'm not the ONLY one still single and looking.......
