On Love at First Click


Redefined Flirting.

Facebook, gchat, and twitter flirtations - among others - represent the natural progression of relationships today. As pokes and winks are publicly exchanged via fb walls and twitter feeds, family histories, favorite colors, and self-conscious idiosyncrasies are slowly but simultaneously divulged. G-chats eventually inquire about exchanging digits and solidifying Saturday night plans, as the gap between the anonymity of the computer/ipad/iphone screen and the natural nervousness of waiting for the doorbell to ring (or text to arrive) is finally bridged. Enjoy!

  2. Reinventing oneself. Great expression. My husband and I still do that after forty years. It can take the form of even a single solitary sentence and a smile. And it has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with love.
