Communication...Killin' 'Em Softly (A MUST READ)

Remember when you'd get a girl's number and have to call her?...at her house!? O.M.G. I know, its difficult to imagine such a time. Well years ago, that's what normal guys would have to do. But it is currently 2011 and the game has changed my friends...




Nowadays, a guy can see a girl at an "event" and not have to worry about saying a word. Like orally, no words have to actually be exchanged. Then he can go home and use his context clues to find her on facebook, send a request along with a private message describing himself with all of the time in the world. From there, after he oo so romanticly wins her over with his knowledge of emoticons; they'll exchange numbers and be in love after a couple of weeks. This seems to be an epidemic overcoming my peers and the youth of today. (Sidenote: I honestly don't think I could EVER date or be serious about a female if all she wants to do is text. Yeahh..)

I don't know about you guys, but I have a lot of pride in being able to respond in conversation at a frequent pace with out having to sit and stare at my phone for 5-10 minutes before I can come up with something funny to say. I enjoy getting a number from a face-to-face meeting with a female, waiting 2 days (u don't wanna seem too anxious calling after one) and getting to know her with an instant connection. Nothing can replace tone and sarcasim during a conversation. Two things that I looooove to use but doesn't ever get executed the right way thru text messages.

This doesn't only go for relationships though. The whole point of a phone call shows that you are taking your time out of your day and showing you are giving someone your undivided attention because you care. That you're willing to put everything else on pause to connect with them for a couple of minutes. Its the reason why you call your mother on her birthday instead of just mailing a card (well atleast I call if I'm not physically able to be there). If you want a beat from me or a feature, don't fckin text me. Don't tweet me, don't facebook message me, don't bbm me. If you want something from me, call. Its the least you can do. U can text saying you want to talk to me, that's cool but c'mon; NETWORK the right way. And if you feel you get too nervous or don't have good social skills, then you probably don't have any business with me in the first place.

Moving on, utilize the technology around you, but don't rely so heavily on it. You will always need to speak up if you ever want to get anything accomplished in this world. A face-to-face or phone call can and will go a lot further than a text message in a lot of things. With that being said; g2g, lol, xoxo, ttyl!
