My start at an (almost) new era

My boyfriend wants to date as if we are in 1972. The "right" way of dating. So, we are supposed to live across the road from each other, and only see each other twice a week. Once at church and once on a group outing with our friends. This goes on until we are married I guess?

So for the next little* while I am (we are) not participating in any "new" technology communication. No texting (dang, thats our main form of communication. No emailing, no facebooking. And, we can only call each other to and from landlines**. Since, he lives in the middle of nowhere, with no land line this may pose a small problem. Guess he'll have to drive to the nearest convenience store to give me a call. Too bad gas isn't 70 cents a gallon. Oh yes, way back then we were still an imperial country!

Here goes!

*This really is not going to last long
**I'm not sure on what level Tom is aware of said experiment, but since I can't get a hold of him it's hard to let him know.

I know it's none of my beeswax (is that a 70's term also?) but what in tarnation (I believe that one is from the 30's) will be the point of this darling experiment?
*bright side*
At least you don't have to dress in over the belly button polyester slacks as part of this 'fun' experiment.

I think it sounds like kind of a cool experiment.

Just think of the great bunny ear television you can watch! Beachcombers, Laverne and Shirley... sigh.

He is such a romantic!

Does this mean I won't be see Thomas for midweek suppertime anymore?? I agree with you Bec, I don't think this will last very long (bright side of this experiment) This is how your Dad and I dated and it was the pits from my point of view. Who wants to go back to old ways? Which ones are good and which ones not? Who gets to say? Everyone is different.
Of course , YOU are dif. so maybe this is for you for today. :)

This was also the way we dated way back when. We saw each other one day during the week where we spent our date on opposite sides of the kitchen table-doing homework! Believe it or not! We also saw each other on the weekends. It really was not a bad way to date.

The land line rule will definitely be a challenge. Good luck!
