Textationships?

Well, one of my girlfriends (these are friends that are girls, not anything else, get your minds outta the gutter) was talking to me about something she calls textationships.  Textationships are relationships (sorta) that only involve texting or maybe some other social media.  Is it really a relationship when it only involves technology??  There are some people that think so!  I remember way back when being on match and just emailing someone, or texting someone and them thinking it was something more than words.  They never made an effort to meet me, but they thought there was something there because they typed some letters into a device and hit send.

Has it just become a sign of the times?  Texting is a great way to keep in touch with your peeps, but it doesn’t replace the human touch.  I have fought via texting, let someone know how much I love them via texting, broken up via texting, not got married (hahahahah) via texting and pretty much done everything including grounding my kids via texting. 

BUT, IT IS NOT A RELATIONSHIP IF IT ONLY INVOLVES TEXTING!  Sorry to get so yelly, but to my girlfriend who’s guy friend is thinking it’s a relationship, IT”S NOT!!!!  I think sometimes guys use texting to keep them in our minds.  Have you ever noticed when you (a girl), starts liking a new guy somehow you start getting texts from previous guys?  It’s like they can smell some other guy trying to pee on you.  Not literally giving you a golden shower, but trying to “leave their mark on you”.  They know there may be male competition coming into the picture, so they want to let you know they are still out there.  Now, it doesn’t mean that they are going to ask you out or anything, they just want to  ”mind f#&k” you a little.  Maybe some guy will finally break the mancode and tell me how guys know this about you??  How the heck do they know when you like someone else and about to delete their number from your cell phone? 

Okay, back to the subject at hand.  How do you decipher what is a relationship and what is just texting because they or you are bored or lonely?  Well, if you aren’t having any human interaction that involves being in the same space at the same time with that person, they/you are bored and or lonely.  In order to have a relationship, you need that human contact, touch, whatever to be called a relationhip.  Even if it’s only a friendship.  If it only involves technology, an automated reply message will have the same effect.
