Pimping in the 21st Century ...

Boy sees Girl. Girl sees Boy.
Boy thinks Girl is cute.

Boy decides he wants to know Girl.

Boy weighs his options.
Boy can A) attempt to talk to Girl - but this may likely lead to an awkward conversation OR/AND looks of confused distrust from the girl by having a random stranger talk to her.

Or B ) Boy can go to Facebook.com !!

Boy chooses option B) and spends a day or two looking for Girl's profile

Boy "Pokes" Girl ......

After 2 days, Girl pokes back ...... things are looking up!

Boy sends a friend request !! (There is a 50% chance that he may be added but boy accepts the risk)

After 2 days Girl adds boy to list!! ....... Boy is ecstatic !

Now Boy has his opening.....His time to shine! He thinks long and hard about his first message ...... He is eager, yet patient ..... he needs to think of something special ; something clever.... something, that will leave an impression!!

...... He thinks for a day .... two days ..... three ..... and then delivers his well thought out introduction:

"Hi ..... wat's up :)"

........ Perfect !!

2 days pass and Girl responds: "Nothing ......... what's up with you"
Its the start of a beautiful relationship.....

All Boy now has to do now is see if he can persuade her to give him her instant messenger contact .... that way he can woo her with sweet nothings from his fingertips ....

If everything goes well, one day he may even get her phone number ..... and in a year or 2 actually meet her....

Is this what the world has come to? Five years ago if someone perused someone elses personal life over the Internet they were considered a stalker ..... now they are a stalker if they talk to them face to face ...

WELCOME TO THE 21st CENTURY !!!
