When did it become acceptable, to propose to someone on a social network? Is this what we are to expect from the future.
No more romance, no more thoughtful planning ... just a "Hey babe, thought I'd post this on your Facebook, and make it completely impossible for you to say 'no' because all your close friends and family are reading... but will you marry me?" Oh yes, this screams potential!
Think I am kidding? I am not. A close friend of mine recently got engaged this way. Now, I don't know what's worse. The fact that he did that or the fact that she actually said yes.
My response? "How about you be a man, and face me when you ask me to be your wife for the rest of my life."
Yet, people didn't seem at ALL phased by this. It's as though, this kind of thing has been going on for centuries now.
She later turned to me and said, "He told me it was the beginning of the proposal." I would think that would be the LAST part of the proposal.
What is going? Why did everything become so 'fast paced', 'need it now', 'it's so fluffy I could die!' type of deal? I mean, really ... What would you do? How would you react? If the man you'd been with posted that up before even speaking to you or gauging your response ...
That to me, would be a huge deal breaker...but maybe I am living in my own little world, because everything seems to be changing around me oh so quickly, and I really do not like what I see.
Technology is not always a good thing.
