What happened making a phone call to a girl to ask her out for a date?
- They now have an easier alternative of texting instead.
What happened to picking a girl up from her house to take her on that date?
- They use the alternative of texting to arrange a place to meet instead.
What happened to turning up with a sweet bunch of flowers to show appreciation of presence?
- They think flowers are too passe or they spend all their money texting instead of calling, or think there's no point just cuz they're gonna die anyway.
What happened to just sitting somewhere nice with a cup of coffee and having a good old fashioned chat?
- They remember that cool big screen you have at home that's hooked up to cable tv.
What happened to that moment of butterflies in your stomach when you wonder if he's going to hold your hand or not?
- The moment is now about if he's going to kiss you on the lips tonight.

What happened to dinner dates and nice walks in a park after?
- They remember that big screen in your house and the amount of channels on cable tv.
What happened to sitting in comforting silence and appreciating the presence of the other?
- They start yawning after the clock strikes 10.
Romance is a novelty no girls can expect a guy to have anymore. Its D-E-A-D, dead. Is it really so hard to just call a girl or have guys really become such chicken shit that sms-ing is the only alternative? A single rose, a simple gesture to put a little smile on a girl's face. Spending some time in the fresh air, in a public park just sitting around - its free! Is it so necessary to stay in the confines of walls and head straight to bed the moment you yamn every 30 seconds?
Guys are becoming wusses when it comes to dating girls. What happened to the confident ones who just go for it without too much analysis, without looking for hints by "reading" the girl. Romance is dead - gone are the times of simplicity.
I just wish, some guy could read me poetry, compose a song in dedication of me - sweep me off my feet in simple ways. No need for lavish gifts, just what's from the heart. I'm not asking for too much am I?

someone once did that for you but now he's just part of history. maybe no flowers were given, but he certainly didn't think chivary was dead. heh... yes its me. but oh well, i'm sure he's not all that bad. i hear he's got an intellectual mind and so much more to offer. yes, its jealous me speaking. tired from tonight, i hope you'll feel better soon. you seem to be struggling quite abit these days, let jachin help you alright? he can't give answers, but he can provide the company. Friends and family is all we need, and sometimes a little more needs to come from the one you love. we expect to be denied, we don't expect and we lose track of the minds of others. take a step back and think, something you've always been teaching me. and i've learnt to appreciate you for your amazing character. smile cherie, he'll treat you better. no doubt about that. he'll truely see what a unique and special person you are as have i. take care and call me soon

You hit the nail right on the head. Babe, they aren't creative anymore considering the conveniences of technology and what money can buy. Yet, ultimately they'll understand that money can't buy your love. Only love and sincerity . Thanks for being there for me. Love ya. - D

You want chivalry, but did you ever sit yourself down and think if you deserve it?
You want romance, but did you earn it?
You want someone to treat you with the utmost respect, with sensitivity, peppered with romance, but can you offer the same back to him?
Before you start dissing people, it'll be good to think about whether you have the high ground.
i am sure you will find someone in OZ isnt it?....cant be that bad isnt it?...btw...i am sorry that i didnt even get a chance to meet up with you before you leave...life has been really busy since i enter uni....when is the next time you are coming back to spore?....ck
