Elationships - A Strange New Way of Dating

Computer love is what many people call it, but to some computer love takes on a completely new meaning, as it has progressed into a new kind of relationship. Believe it or not, there are some people who have no yearning for a real live, hand-holding, go out to dinner, lip-kissing date. While these individuals have an serious desire for companionship, their perspective of companionship is rather different from that of most people. Did you ever think such a thing would become a reality for millions of people?

This new kind of love is identified as the “elationship”. Exactly what is an elationship? An elationship is a virtual relationship that involves people who, for whatever reason, are no longer attracted to a real life affair, just a virtual one.

Online dating has become more popular, and for those who struggle with finding a date, online dating has made finding a date simplier and easier; however can you actually be sure of what sort of person you are dating? You would imagine that people who resort to online dating would anticipate a great deal of deception, but somehow many people don’t consider deception as an element when they bond with someone through an online encounter. Think about it , people are not always truthful when they post their information online. There’s the playboy who says he’s not married, when in fact he is in his second marriage. There’s the guy who says he’s searching for his soul mate, when he is actually looking for nothing more than a sexual encounter. Then there’s the woman who is searching for companionship, but she is still posting an 18 year old photo of herself online.

It seems that real life interactions do not turn everyone on. Instead, more and more people are willing to settle for a relationship through the Internet. Personally, I rather a relationship of the touching kind to that of a relationship of the “e” kind.

How much excitement can you get out of running your fingers through someone’s hair virtually? Where is the excitement in giving your date a virtual kiss before saying goodnight? I do not know about you, but my hormones are not stimulated electronically. In fact, I have a tough time comprehending why anyone would spend so much time communicating with someone that they have no intentions of meeting.

People are becoming increasingly afraid of any and everything as we move deeper into the millennium. So I guess elationships are the result of fear. Real life relationships can be difficult particularly for those who are less assertive in their ability to create one.

Some things about entering into a relationship will never change. Those who pursue a relationship will always have to deal with several elements of anxiety. There is the fear of being rejected, the fear of being made a fool of as well as making a fool of yourself. But this is just a part of the cycle of falling in love, and that is the one thing that I would not want to exchange with an elationship.
