Wireless Romance

I remember in my day (I'm not talking dinosaur days here, just albino tiger days, rare rare days that are fast fading now...) when a guy wanted to ask a girl out, he prepared for it like an examination, except slightly more expensive, I'll tell you why.
First, he gets an oxford dictionary, then he gets some flowered stationary, a good fountain pen or two with different colors for drawing hearts and such, if he was artistically inclined, of course (pen of choice was usually red and blue or black)He calls a friend, who has really good hand-writing and can assist in finding complex words that best describe his state of mind. the 'big' words are to show the girl in question that he is really smart and to make her dizzy when pronouncing them.
After writing the letter, he sends someone, who knows someone close to her to have it delivered, yes rigorous but quaint and somewhat romantic.
The girl in question is not under any obligation to acknowledge receipt of such letters and the guy follows up with two or more letters before he finally steps forward to inquire formally. As you may have noticed the system takes time and effort on the guy and the girl alike.
Because if the letter was from a guy you really fancied, you CANNOT under any circumstances reply in kind, you stew in waiting, until he approaches you in person.
Today, hook ups(notice i use the word 'hook up'? cos that's exactly what they are!)  are faster, guys are bolder, and maybe in their own thinking wiser, gone is the trusted friend with good handwriting and sound counsel, to be replaced by a keyboard and a strange fellow in your screen called 'wizard'.
Gone is the dictionary, totally replaced by thesaurus! and they needn't see in person, they can meet via any of the social networks(and you all know the ones I'm talking about!)
I can't help but wonder if that's why relationship break ups (marriage, friendship, any kind!) are on the rise.
Statistics will show that there are more divorces among young adults now than in say, twenty years ago! Interesting, no? One would think that now that we have access to connect (wirelessly) with our loved ones, we would be closer and it would help the relationships to get stronger, but the more wireless and fast our connections get the worse it is on relationships.
Now let me clarify that I'm not casting aspersions on technology and its growth in recent years, it has been of immense benefit to mankind.
What I'm saying is, just because emails travel in the speed of light (really?do they?) doesn't mean our emotions should travel that fast! you burn out!
I think things have become so easy that people are taking it for granted. Guys have the Adam complex, while girls, like Eve are just desperate for fun. What you don't work for, you don't value!
In my opinion, I think emails, sms messages, bbms have robbed messages of originality and individualism and its sad, because its the same red heart emoticon you sent when you saw the picture of the new Gucci fragrance you sent to her to say you love her.
Where are those men, that used to sit down and craft a complex worded romantic letter just to win a girl's heart?
I miss the old days though, but that's because I'm an albino tiger, very rare! What do you all think? Tedious letter writing on fragrant stationary or Wireless romance? you decide!
Ciao!
