Fast-forward please?

This blog might be a bit hard to agree with, but hey, I think aloud all the time, so suck it up. Relating it to the title, these days... relationships work on a fast-forward sequence. It's almost as if it's a race to get into a girl's pants as fast as you can. A guy and a girl will talk on Facebook one day. They don't even wanna get to know each other before they end up meeting. The guy most likely will want to sneak a little the first day too! Is it just me who feels weird about this whole thing? Like, at least give it some weeks before you even let the person touch you, and get to know them properly. I wouldn't even feel comfortable meeting a person from the net until I know what I need to know about them. You don't just talk to someone overnight and go off to do things with them, unless you're a slut :/

I understand the excitement of meeting someone new but some people just cross the line. A few days ago, someone randomly added me. And I swear to god.. I have never been in a more uncomfortable situation before. These days, if you ask someone to help you with a job or give you a ride home, you're giving them an opportunity to ask for something back? Is that what it is? I have experienced this twice in a month. Maybe, I've just come across cheapsters. Yeeup, that's exactly what it is. And I am the kind of person that makes you more awkward, if I have to. If a guy is standing there with his arms out and asking for a hug, I'd say.. "Are you expecting me to hug you?" Saying it out loud makes them feel conscious too! It works for me. If by any chance, he says "yes." Then I'd say, "uh, NO." Okay, this was not a hypothetical situation. This actually happened, don't judge.

So, that was about strangers or "friends with benefits." I was actually on track to talk about the relationships on fast-forward. Have you seen people who actually "discuss" what they will accomplish physically when they meet next? I mean, seriously? Desperation to the utmost level? I have KNOWN couples who do this. That is so icky for me. I don't know if it's common or whether there is any pleasure to discuss it all. I don't understand the role of emotions if everything is pre-planned. Remember the days when you'd have butterflies to even hold someone's hand and take things slow? Yeah, those days actually existed until a while ago! I just wish that all this relationship stuff didn't come with a scoreboard for guys. "One down, 99 more to go!" If a guy is trying to feel you up the third day, take a hint girls! Quit the stupidity.

I enjoy holding hands rather than to stick those hands elsewhere. Call me a sucker for love, but it's true. I would enjoy sitting at a distance and be able to look into the person's eyes instead of sitting them as close as possible. I would enjoy intimate hugs over dirty wild kisses. Why can't people enjoy these little moments and let things slow down? I don't get it! I am not saying set a timeline for it all, but at least enjoy the moment before you rush into everything. Relationships that are just full of curiosity and are waiting to take things as fast as they can, also break up as fast as they can! It's true, at least according to what I have seen around me. Everyone agrees that the best time they have in their relationship is in the beginning phase where you're trying to get to know each other and have those mesmerizing moments to cherish. Why not make that intensity last longer? What's the rush?

Everything is in fast-forward, instead of play. My advice for you my friends - play, and pause for a while. Enjoy those little moments because they actually mean the best. Going out with someone before you barely know them is not a good idea. Take things slow. Hold hands, share laughs, look into each other's eyes, remain at a distance and feel the butterflies. Allow for your emotions to build a base. And if there is no play in your story, and it's on a fast-forward phase, please get a new DVD :) Because the one you're watching, totally ain't worth it.

Adios.
