Textual Relationships

With the rampant increase in cell phone text messaging, an entirely new sort of relationship has emerged. I call it a "TEXTUAL RELATIONSHIP". It is one that is very informal and limited to 160 characters per transmission and involves no kissing, touching or warmth. The up side? It's safe. You can't get pregnant and you can't catch a disease. The downside? Well, if I have to tell you that, just keep texting your little hearts out. Because if you're not smart enough to figure that out, than you shouldn't be in any sort of relationship at all. But I'll give you a hint.

Texting allows no emotion or feeling to show, other than a one dimensional cold one that is often misinterpreted. It is one step above no relationship at all. If you're in a "textual relationship" and it seems to be your only form of connecting with your "significant other", than that person is really not a significant other and probably looks at you as a pretty insignificant part of their life.

Perhaps this post might more aptly be called "Textual" Relationships!
