I don't mind the technology. I just think people should talk to each other if they want to get to know the other. Not just list off things about themselves.
I do mind it, but even if I didn't, I would still agree with you. I don't mind this, I guess, as an ice breaker, but if I ever actually want to get to know someone, I'm not going to do it online. You know?
I tend to agree. It's too easy to hide behind the relative anonymity that comes with this stuff, if you ask me.
Besides, I'm not going to tell anyone anything worth knowing if I can't gauge their reaction or feel confident that I can trust them to keep it to themselves, where necessary, and you can't do that over a phone.
Yeah, I'll give you that. I know that feeling entirely too well.

Hell, it does exist back home for me and it STILL took me some time to get used to it. I figure that means you get a free pass. Have you been here very long?

[ She was still getting used to this "socializing" thing tbh. ]
But you sound like you've experienced this sort of thing before.
