UR GR8 <3

Okay, I know I'm not much of a dater. So, I accept that maybe there are some rules and rites of which I am not entirely aware. I know I'm socially awkward and that maybe I didn't develop socially as fully as I should have. I blame it on private school. Call me crazy, call me awkward, call me socially stunted, but I think that, as a lady, I should be treated a certain way.
So, let me tell you a story. A story about a girl who gave her phone number to a guy. The particulars of how she met the boy are not important. But, he asked for her number and she gave it. Lucky fellow, if you ask me. He has her personal phone number and you may be asking, 'what does he do with it?' Oh, I'll tell you what this boy does with the phone number. He sends the girl a text message.
Again, maybe I'm really out of the dating loop, but a text message? I remember a day when a girl would sit by the phone waiting for the nervous phone call from that special boy. But, now, we just reduce the conversation down to one short sentence, in text speak might I add, and then send it over the airwaves. Did he not want to waste his minutes? Or, maybe it was his time he didn't want to waste. I can only imagine what the relationship would be like: dinners at mcdonalds, movies downloaded from netflix, and ecards for anniversaries.
I think I, and I think you, deserve a bit more than a text messaged date invite. I deserve to be chased, to be pursued, to be called, for heaven's sake. Does the romance have to be sucked out of everything? I know we're not in the movies and love rarely happens like it does in Hollywood, but can't it even be close? I think I deserve a little disney magic.
