You don’t even have to wait for the check. In fact, they’re even better than actual dates for the main reason that if all goes to shit, you can just turn off your computer and go watch Dexter or something.
There are many different ways to have a Skype date, and if done correctly, they’ll trigger the exact same emotions that an actual date would. Just last week, in fact, I found myself holding up a glass of $4 merlot and sharing a mock toast with the woman on my screen as we exchanged misty-eyed endearments and it made me wonder if other people’s lives are this … different. Since the end of this “relationship” I’ve found myself in many more unique dating scenarios where Skype became unavoidable. So when Australia would suggest this Skype thing, I’d avoid the topic or come up with excuses like “I have a nasty zit right now,” because the idea of having to talk to someone while worrying about my connection freezing in the middle of some kind of fucked up facial expression was too much for me to handle. We never talked on the phone because 1) I hate the phone, 2) I’m not even sure I know how to dial an Australian number, I mean, aren’t there letters and stuff? 3) When I have mushy feelings for someone they’re usually the last person on earth I want to talk to because I get so nervous that my throat closes up and I eventually have to just put myself down for a nap. (It’s normal.) The majority of our “relationship” consisted of emails and text messages. I tried to make the term “Skating” stick in this context, but it didn’t work because there’s already a thing called skating and it doesn’t involve candlelit dinners with your computer.Ī year ago I’d never even heard of Skype, but then I somehow fell for an Australian girl I met on Facebook who I never actually met in real life. This is most easily done in the form of Skype dating.
Sometimes life unfolds in such a way that you find yourself having romantic feelings for someone who lives far away, and then have to put your imagination into overdrive in order to “date” them.
