Title: Dating 101

ILLUSTRATION/JOKE: More and more of the couples that I do pre-marriage counseling with met - ONLINE.
I was single at the very beginning of the information revolution. Online dating was in it's very, very early stage. It wasn't long after I got online... with the old dial-up modem, and when AOL was still a thing. I remember my first and only online relationship - it was a girl in TX. She was a good Christian girl... pretty attractive... and she mailed me cookies....I thought it had real potential... until I discovered she was coco for coco-puffs.
Today there is - SILVER SINGLES. So no matter your age or stage in life, online dating is a thing.
So if you are into the online dating scene... let me give you a little advice I found:
ONLINE DATING HEAD'S UP:
-If a woman says she's 40ish, that means she 39 1/2. If a man says he is 40ish that means he is 52 and looking for a 25 year old.
-If a guy says he's huggable, that means he's carrying a few extra lbs and has more body hair than sasquash.
-If a guy says he's laid back, that means he lives in his parents basement and doesn't have a job.
-If a girl says she is bubbly and fun that means - she NEVER shuts up.
-If a lady says she is an independent woman, that means she has control issues. She will be your boss and make you like it.
-If a guy says he is average looking, that means he fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
INTRODUCTION: Modernity likes to pretend.
-No longer does the literature professor ask, "What does this novel mean?" Today the question is, "what does this novel mean to you?".
-The concept that two + two = four is now up for debate.
-Even your gender is presented as a matter of personal preference and expression.
But roads are old-fashioned. Imagine approaching a road with the same rules we apply to so many other things in this modern world:
-The road has curves, it winds ...
