I don’t get free drinks anymore because of smartphones.
I used to be able to sidle up to a bar and flash my smile.
Then I would strike up a conversation with a guy.
Later he would buy me a round.
Now, no one looks up from the phone.
They are constantly scrolling,
Tindering,
Or furiously texting.
I spend more money in bars.
Or I spend more time at home.
The End.
Everybody needs somebody, sometime, right?! A new book called Quirkyalone by Sasha Cagen challenges that old notion that we all want to be in relationship. She proclaims that many single people are no longer waiting for the perfect match, but they are living their best life alone.
Well, I went to the website and took the quiz to see if I am a quirkyalone. I was surprised and kinda disappointed to find that I am very quirkyalone. I guess I can console myself with my battery operated friends who come in handy (pun intended) when my other friends are out on dates or moving in with THEIR boyfriends, damnit!
