8 Reasons Why Technology Is Ruining My Dating Life
- I would rather be on Pinterest instead of waste my time dating a “nice” guy who I know is going to start talking to me about his favorite dragon themed video game…so I spend some prime date nights on Pinterest. But maybe that really saved my dating life instead of ruined it.
- My prime date nights spent on Pinterest show those cute photos of couples and now I hold men to higher standards that they never fail to disappoint.
- When you think you find a decent guy and you show up on a date where this boy decides to wear a phone on his ear, his face, and his wrist. Thank God those Google Goggles (or whatever those loser devices are called) failed, or else I could never date again!
- A movie, where no interaction is required (and even discouraged), is now considered a quality date even in a relationship.
- The day I had a boyfriend that made me watch 8 hours worth of Archer reruns. Needless to say, it didn’t work out.
- Tinder. You can guess why yourself.
- Full on conversations were not meant to be over text messages. Can I get an Amen?!?
- Thanks to my Facebook account, boys are too afraid to ask me out to my face and suddenly have a hidden Internet confidence to ask me out over Facebook Messenger; or worse, I have no idea who he is and he thinks I have been waiting my whole life for him to notice me.
Exhibit A:
Boy: I saw you at the party last night and want to take you on a date.
Me: Why did you not ask me last night when you saw me at the party?
Exhibit B:
Boy: Hey wuts up? I met you once when I was five I think. Anyway, I think we should get together for drinks.
Me: I don’t remember, clearly I wasn’t interested then and I am not interested now. And we can never have kids or grandkids because I would be too ashamed to tell them this is how we started dating.

Okay, technology is ruining my dating life because of myself sometimes, and I also know that it can be used in good ways too. My point is that you should not ask people out over Facebook, and when you are with a person, spend quality time with him/her.
