robertina Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 It sounds interesting though, at least it's fun to read his thoughts! Thanks!! yes, and as always he starts from personal experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezza Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thanks for posting Robi! Ooh I can't wait for the original. In the mean time, I can haz translated summary? Oh that's too bad. How about here? It's a different photo hosting site so maybe that might help? Yus, you can haz! Ok, so adding to what Robi said, this article deals with friendships and relationships in the age of Facebook. He starts off by saying how he went out with someone when he was 22, not long after having signed his first record deal, after they contacted him through his Myspace. They only went out for a couple of weeks, the other person saying that's how online dating worked, but he wasn't aware of that, and he didn't like that at all. Then he goes on to say that online dating's become normal. He writes about a couple he saw who'd met in a queue in a café, the boy asked the girl if she was on Facebook, because he wanted to see her again, but she said no, that she preferred reality. That's the thing about the internet, he says, it gives you the opportunity to contact people you wouldn't, or wouldn't have the courage to speak to in real life. Online you can dig through a person's past, and get to know them bit by bit, through photos for example. He admires people who shun this kind of contact, and wonders how they do it. A female friend of his, who amusingly only wants to meet rich men, says that the internet can break down social barriers such as the economic or professional background of a person. You can know a lot of things about a person before you meet them, which changes the dynamics of a relationship, something he didn't understand before. He finishes by saying that the internet is part of our reality, and that the girl in the café had got it wrong, in reality she was saying that she didn't like the boy, it was a way of making him feel stupid.

lollipop_monkey Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yus, you can haz! Ok, so adding to what Robi said, this article deals with friendships and relationships in the age of Facebook... Thank you! I'm going from a kind and fine Google translation, but what's he saying with "...non sapevo che esistesse un'etichetta degli appuntamenti via Internet. None e come fare sesso occasionale."...? Google translates that to mean that basically there's an understanding with online relationships that they are about casual sex, and that he's not into that sort of thing. Is that what that actually means? I so can't wait for the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like occasional sex. it leaves you with a sense of uncompleteness. I let myself being involved emotionally and i was furious. It was my fault but i could feel like a whore anyway.'' more or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Thank you for posting it, Robi. Can't wait for the original, though.

crazyaboutmika Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks a bunch for summing it up I translated a bit myself but I also have to look after the little ones and cook RL ...so I didn't go very far ************************************************************* Finding out about love at the time of facebook I was 22 and I left school after having signed with a music compagny and devoted myself entirely to music. For a year I didn't go out with anyone. But one evening I found I had a friend on my my space page. I had no idea who he was and two days after we went out together.A short story; in two weeks we saw each other four times. It had been perceft and when it was finished I was a rag. "This is the way it works" I was told afterwards but I didn't know then. I had no experience, I didn't know there was an etiquette when you meet someone on internet. Nor how to behave in such occasions; I had buitl a castle in sand. I really got involved and it made me mad. It was entirely my own fault and I felt like a whore. This is how I learned about the rules on internet. ************************************************************** I love it when Mika shares his feelings Best column ever :fangurl:ing and heart melting Edited February 3, 2011 by crazyaboutmika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
