Following up on the previous post, I remembered a scene from the latest movie, He’s Just Not That Into You, where Drew Barrymore goes on a virtual date via video.
As someone who has been stood up when going on blind dates, I actually find this concept alleviating. It’s a great way to meet the person, from the comfort of your own home and with very little risk of humiliation (assuming you feel humiliated when your date says he’s going to the car to get something and never returns). You can meet the person face to face, so to speak, and gauge their conversational skills, eye contact and hear their voice – I saw a show called “The Science of Sex Appeal” on the Discovery Channel and they concluded that women are also attracted to the sound of certain men’s voice (and vice versa, too).
Although I would never replace an actual date with a virtual one, I think it’s a great, and comforting, way to break the ice.
It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
