Online Love Lives Up The Street
October 9, 2008
With the growth of internet access, online dating is an increasingly common way to meet people. A couple who met online have now found out that their new online partner is actually a neighbour from only a few doors up and has been for 17 years.
She’s a teacher and he’s an electrician; after several weeks of online interaction the teacher decided to give the electrician a call. She said;
“While we were chatting I said I’d just been to the shop. He said that was the shop he always went to,” she told the South Wales Echo. “When he told me he lived in (the same street), I thought it was a wind-up. I was stunned… He asked me over for a cup of tea, and that was that,”
The electrician added: “We’ve got the perfect compatibility. I’m a very lucky man.”
Is it may be fair to say that if we spent less time watching TV, surfing the web and playing on games consoles and actually left the house, we may find our dream man who lives just down the street.
At The Trafford Centre one night I found myself have a moment of ‘where has the romance gone’… it was an evening for the elderly and they were all dancing to swing music. It was very strange, I just think that we live in sombre times and I was left wondering… where has the love gone?
Wouldn’t it have been nice to see each other across a crowded room and notice that the other person was looking back at them? Maybe ask them to dance or get to know them, without wondering if they were actually a twelve year old boy?!
I hate to sound like I know I am, but our culture is pants!!! We work all the time, everything revolves around money and nothing is sacred or special. The Europeans understand about work / life balance and seem to reject all pressures to let it be taken away from them.
The story about the internet couple stirred something inside me and I think it is the fear that if technology takes over much more we will never have to leave a single room. We would be able to do anything necessary from the comfort of our home office and never actually have to integrate with anyone… scary and sad!!!
