It Seemed Like So Much Of Romantic Relationships Today Have To Do When The People Are Not In The Same Room. Whether It's Texting Or Emailing Or Facebooking, There's A Kind Of Distance Between The Participants. I Think It's Sort Of Shifted The Energy Of That First Romantic Meeting, Where It's Quicker, Perhaps More Desperate, More Energetic, In A Whole Different Way, And It's Resulted In A Situation Where People Seem To Be Sometimes More Comfortable Having A Sexual Relationship Than An Emotional One.
