Dating in the Social Networking Age

I have a few single friends that are currently in the dating game and it got me thinking about how easy single people have it nowadays.  Social networking has made dating and asking people out way easier than it used to be.  I remember when you like someone you had three options, either go up to them face to face and start a conversation, write them a note or get a friend to let them know you were interested.  The face to face interactions were always the hardest as rejection is very hard to deal with face to face.  Nowadays with Facebook, text messaging and other social medial (Twitter) you basically can “talk” with someone for days before even meeting them face to face.  If you don’t like each other, you simply stop texting or sending messages via Facebook and its over.  No face to face rejection, no embarrassment and most importantly no headaches.

I’m a married man now so I don’t have to worry about this type of thing but man would it be easy now to meet and talk to women.  Maybe it’s me but social networking has made dating so much easier.
