Sure, the e-mail was sweet, but what an easy route to take. At least a phone call would be polite. And if this person truly liked me, he could have made the 300-mile trip to tell me in person. That s what I call personal. Anyone could have typed that or even hit the send link.
Romance is special.
It is too great and entails such intense emotion that an e-mail just does not cut it, especially in the beginning phases. Somehow talking on IM became this great way to meet a potential love interest. I just could not imagine meeting the one over a computer. That doesn t represent personality. Like those words mean anything when there is no voice or smile to go with it.
