so here’s what i’ve learned so far

–i don’t get the cadence, the pace at which these things progress.

–when you start chatting through emails with a man who interests you stay at 1 to 1. previously i would send or reply to an email and if i had an afterthought or three, continue the train of thought. i’m told that’s wrong as far as internet exchanges are concerned. intrusive is the word my daughter used if i remember correctly.

–apparently i depend on the feedback of face to face interaction where you know if the other person gets it or is bored. if its their turn to speak or yours, if you are talking over them or vice versa. voice also gives you cues that the email intercourse lacks.

–i’m not very good at internet-not-yet-dating. maybe i’m trainable, we’ll see. i do not like scaring away men who interest me, Sam I am!
