So you know how you talk to someone online/in the bars/on the phone and you are somewhat romantically attached to said person. Even if it's just for a night or whatever. You know how you start making things up in your head. Like what the person likes and dislikes. Like the way that you'll have sex the first time. Like the way that you'll meet the parents. How you'll get married. Where your little hut on the beach will be located for your honeymoon.
Ok well maybe you don't get detailed with it but hey you make some assumptions about the person you're talking to. None the less you think about these things and for some reason they are more important to you than everything else. It truly is sad that we don't take the time to actually get to know the person that we're talking to.
Maybe it's fear of "What if I am wrong?" or something obnoxious like that. Maybe it's something to do with how we were raised or even society as a whole taking on what we can't easily access. I wish people were telepathic (or at least me) so i could just jump into their minds and go "Ohh well that makes sense now" and life would be easier. I'll tell you if we were all telepathic privacy would become a thing of the past really.
Anyways this was sparked by someone who I have been texting (only when we are both drunk really) who mentioned that I have a bad attitude.... I have never met this person before just texted with him. Yeah it's dumb to dwell on but it made me wonder what really could he have known about me from very few drunken texts.
Ohh well he doesn't matter in the long run but none the less the question remains
"Can you really know someone from texting them or not?"
