Lets take it back...




I don't know about you all but i feel as if technology is trying to take the place of vintage love. It may seem funny but think about it...
What is more romantic? An email or a handwritten love note? A text message that say I luv u or a phone call that says "Just wanted to say i love you. have a great day" Having a bumch of pictures on myspace or facebook or having a scrapbook forever? think about it...now which do we indulge in more.
When did it become romantic to recieve a text message with wording in codes to say i love you? Maybe im just feeling real girly right now, but i miss the love notes and the late night phone calls. i was just talking to someone not too long ago, someone who i consider myself to have a romatic connection with, and he told me he would rather text than talk...because talking "drains him out." It was then and there that i realized that we had a problem. I miss vintage love.
As women, we are naturally emotional. We want the flowers and the cards and candy. Not the pictures of flowers through a text message or the card sent from Hallmark Online. I know im not the only one who feels this way either...Guys, you have to get back in the habit of vintage love. Teenage love. Before we were crazed over cell phones and the internet. Do you guys remember the time we spent writing long letters in middle and high school? Do you remember the kissing and holding hands during lunch time? Do you remember sticking around after school just to see that special person? What happened to vintage love. Why are we allowing technology to come in and take over.
Maybe some people are OK with text messages and emails. but i am not. I live for the day that i get a handwritten letter. And its sad to say but i can't see that happening anytime soon. We have become dependant on a computer screen to do everything for us. Even love. and thats not OK. Its so funny, because someone can email you during a busy work day, text you at a club...they don't have to take the time out to do anything. Think about this, to call someone you have to get away from the havoc, you actually have to take the time out to stop what your doing to focus on a phone call. It only takes a minute. and we would all be surprised at what that minute could do, how much of a difference it would make.

  1. I agree with you 100% Texting and emailing is so not personal. It's fun sometimes, but not 4 lovers. I'm old school and still want that old fashion kinda love. Besides texting and emailing doesn't cost anything, flowers do cost a bit and writing a letter cost time. Most men are getting off cheap, don't go for it ladies. If he really loves you or wants you that bad, he will put in the effort and or put up the money. Love PS

  2. yeah i think if your significant lover can't set time aside for you, (not saying they should with everydrop of a dime--but enoguh to maintain a healthy intimate relationship) && they want you to accept that they aren't making time for you due to whatever reasoning and don't plan on changing it--the person clearly isn't worth it && not worth you...
