I'm glad I'm too old for all this "social networking" stuff. Dating was hard enough back in the 1970s and 1980s, before cell phones, and Twitter and Facebook and internet dating and such.
We did have answering machines. So you could screen your calls. But elsewise, you had to communicate face to face with a girl.
I had one girlfriend for all four years of undergrad time, and second one for three years during Master's degree chase. Both have been married for years and have their own kids in college now.
I turned out just fine, thanks to the lovely Mrs. Blowfish.
Thanks Mrs. Blowfish!
I know I sound like the Grumpy Old Man from SNL...
"We only had answering machines and no fancy schmantzy IPhones, but we wrote letters by hand and walked them to the mail box and we LOVED IT!!!!"
Also you could have a slump buster if you needed it, and didn't have to worry about anything worse than the clap or crabs -or pregnancy. World is a much more dangerous place for loose sex now.
