Web Tech - real vs. virtual life

Read the last paragraph of Mark’s post here. Especially said paragraph’s last sentence.

Well, you know, the last sentence isn't true if you're dating someone who you met through blogging...

You know what's funny, though, is that at the moment I'm pseudo-dating someone who found me through blogger.

In the immortal words of Magic 8-Ball: "Outlook Good." ;)

Every time I want to make a bad pun on "Outlook good" (“Outlook - bad. Thunderbird - Good.” comes to mind...) I have to remind myself those are a major contributing factor to me being (and staying) single.

How does one “pseudo-date”? Through long instant messaging sessions?

Teri said...

Pseudo-dating = friendship with the possibility of dating. Involves two months of long instant messaging sessions; a lot of online flirting; several phone calls; a touch of serious discussion about morals, long distances, being somewhat weirded out by it all, and the notion of developing a relationship; and making plans to meet over the labour day weekend to see how it works out in real life.

Unless he's vastly different IRL, I anticipate dropping the "pseudo" by this time next month.
