I was talking to someone about dating today (she is "back in the game" after many years) and she was saying how she sometimes goes "online" to meet prospective suitors. Wow, using the "world wild web" to meet men!! How times have changed. Now you can sift out the weirdos before you waste time shaving your legs and plucking your eyebrows! What with t'internet and cell phones with call display, you can save yourself a lot of grief and pointless hangovers nowadays, not to mention hours standing in some rain soaked, smelly telephone box hoping your prospective "boyfriend" doesn't pretend to be out when you call. The smell of urine will forever be inextricably linked with my memories of my teen dating! No, I didn't have a bladder problem and pee myself in my heightened state of anxiety!! It's just that public telephone boxes in England ALWAYS smell like a urinal! In a way though, it did seem sort of more romantic somehow. Specially if HE has walked all the way in the rain to the telephone box to call you! That was a good sign, except if you didn't really like him. Then you had that dilemma of having to go on a "guilt" date with him or pretend to be your sister and say you were out! And, if you did like the guy, at three minutes for 5 pence it was hard to have a " hot 'n' heavy" conversation when you  a) only had  10 pence in change and the shops were closed,  b) you had to stop every three minutes to put your money in! and c) there was the nosy neighbour from up the street waiting outside to use the phone and listening through the broken window panes to every sigh and smooch!   Come to think of it, maybe Live Links is the way to go but I cant help thinking my daughters missed out somehow!
