X’d Out

Just when you think you’ve escaped the ex in all ways his hairy little face pops up. These days it doesn’t even have to be in person to mean anything. Isn’t it funny how when two people break up now (in the computer generation) you can’t just stop calling them and avoid the bar you met him in! We now have to delete him off our cell phone, our hotmail address book, and our msn list. We add them to every impersonal avenue in our lives just to ‘X’ them out after a few months.

In this computer generation we can now date online, which is like choosing the good non-bruised apple from the heap at the grocery store. However, you have to know you want an apple and not an orange or banana.

So is this online dating scene supposed to make this chase easier? The bar scene creates a stereotype in my mind – all the guys are sleazy and are looking for a hussy. The online scene makes me think, is this a last resort type of deal? The ones that can’t get laid create an online profile? Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying either of these are true. I have had a profile on an online site and I do go to bars. In the end I consider myself to be a classy relationship type of girl (but I also know how to dance on the speaker like no other).

So when did my mind or biological clock take over and tell me to look for the relationship with meaning and ignore with disgust the fun filled night of simple flirting? Should I presume the fun flirty girl been x’d out of my own life?
