Why do singles email and text so much? Whatever happened to face-to-face conversations?
Technology sucks. That's a lot of time and destroys the relationship of each. I was the other day about the malls, grocery stores and high art. t, running errands and have macker 20 girls and only had 5 phone numbers and I do not know what to do. . . . because they are so used to this shit online dating, and they seem scared or afraid. . . Back in the day is made or 10 years, scoring 10 out of 20 of them and get at least 15 issues, nothing has changed w / my appearance. Really I have to fly to Costa Rica or a third world country to pick up other chicks?

Approaching people and dating can be scarey, so text and email break the ice and let you be who really are or who you want to be easier than face-to-face interaction.
IT has its place, unfortunately that cant be blamed for the acceptance ratio you are experiencing. I would check into your approach. Times change, and how we approach changes as well. It used to be you could go up and say you liked someone, and wished to “court” them. Do that now, and you may freak out some. Today, women are more interested in comfortability, and with you as you approach. Sometimes it takes getting to know someone on a few occassions before they let you into their world. Its because of IT, that we are now open to the new world where more options are available.
sum they text like me. cuz they really do not know who you are dealin’ wit so textin is better.
Come on you should know this answer, people like to txt and email because it easy, and becasue you don’t have to face that person and do all the shy and looking like a idiot stuff, I hate it becasuse you don’t know if that person is real or not, some people like to pretend to be someonoe else half the time, the only one good thing about it is you get to meet people all over the world! I have to agree with you face to face is more exciting!
Don’t waist your money on a ticket to Costa Rica just come to South Africa, here we still like the face to face conversations better!!
I think technology has under minded the development of interpersonal social skills, but I also feel that crime and fear have made meeting women more difficult. You hear on the news daily about women being raped and/or killed by acquaintances or boyfriends, and women are warned to screen the people they give their numbers to. Its probably not just you, but more a representation of the times making the difference in your “numbers” not to mention that, but if you were hitting up the dating scene 10 years ago, and your still hitting it up now, your working with a diminishing audience. Young girls are not going to be as trusting with you, and older women are often already committed. Your problem and questions have a variety of explanations…
Technology, like everything else is good with limitations.
What I have noticed is the way the technological slang undermines the youths ability to “write” proper english.
Take for instance this “excerpt” from one youth’s yahoo question:

i know what you mean…this guy i knew would ONLY text me. he never called me until i told him to. i guess because he was nervous to talk to me. but how do you expect to be with someone if you can get the nerve to talk to them on the phone? i love my phone but sometimes i get annoyed when people are only texting me. you just need to find a girl that actually WANTS to talk to you over the phone and in person. they are out there i know b/c i am one.
