Social Media Lovers

I was on a breakfast date one morning. We'd chosen a gorgeous southern style restaurant. The walls and floors were made of dark mahogany, as vintage photography was displayed throughout. The waitress served my eggs benedicts and country style potatoes. It was beautifully arranged on the plate. My first thought was "this would make a great Instagram picture". At the same moment my date says "thank god you aren't one of those girls who is always taking pictures of her food". I had a moment of silence. I stared at his baby blues then took out my cell phone and snapped a pic.

The whole point of the date is to get to know the other person, so he might as well know up front that I Instagram all. Needless to say the pic of my breakfast lasted longer than he and I did.  I can't be with a grumpy person, who is mad at the advancing world of technology. It made him seem old and boring in my eyes. He bad mouthed most apps Instagrammers, Snapchatters, Facebookers and Tweeters. All of which are fun by the way. Social media is here to stay buddy, sorry.

Let me clarify that the pic took a second to snap and then the cell phone was tucked away into my purse. Then all my attention returned to my dates baby blues across the table. Never was there a moment where he felt ignored, as I would not appreciate that done to me. We enjoyed great conversation, the date lasted several hours. Throughout the conversations however, he trash talked social media once again. I respect everyone's opinions and heard him out and of course debated all.

I need to be true to me, as all daters need to be to themselves. I am a social media person. It keeps me updated, well informed and happy. I am a Instagrammer, Snapchatter, Facebooker, Tweeter and most importantly a blogger.

While dating, listen to your date, have an open mind, be who you are, listen to who they are. Then make a decision on compatibility. Some people are set in their ways, you can't change them and you shouldn't. Good luck to Mr. Grumpy and all daters.

Happy dating and thank you for following Marisa's Misadventures*
