Dive Bar Dude: First time here?
Me: Yeah.
Dive Bar Dude: It’s a pretty shitty bar.
Me: (laughs) Well you’re here too so what does that say?
Dive Bar Dude: I live right up stairs so we can go from pants on to penis in, in like 5 minutes!
Guess what is back? That is right Something-Else Saturdays! YEAH! And I can’t think of a better way to jump back into this little feature on my blog then a great guest blog post by one of my favorite people from the great wide world of twitter!
Katie Little or has I first knew her @KT_Little offers us up some thoughts on two great subjects: Dating and Social Media. She asks some pretty great questions, and i look forward to reading what you all think about them. (and I also can’t wait to write my own responses as well) So here we go……My first ever (ever!) guest post and the return of ’something-else saturdays’
(drum roll please)
Dating & Social Media: Can You Make Them Work?
I recently rejoined the dating scene – luckily enough I have met some really great guys.
One thing that I always notice every time we go out for a meal – we order then afterwards while talking to each other, we pull out our devices (I don’t have an internet based phone but I use my iPod Touch). While waiting we still talk to each other but spend time on our devices.I never really ask ‘oh are you on Facebook or Twitter’ because sometimes that is awkward for me.
Personally, I want to keep my social media identity a secret. I am a HUGE tweeter – and have my account public.
But when is the right time to tell him about your other identity? Or maybe not? Here are a few discussion questions I want to address.
Discussion Questions:
- Is there a right time to tell him you are active on social media?
- Are you like me – you feel want to create a protection around your social media community?
- What are ways/tips to tell your man without him freaking out you’re tweeting every second bout your date?
Katie is currently looking for employment in the social media industry. At the moment she currently is a nanny for a 1st grader and babysits for 6 families. She holds a graduate degree in leadership and management with a focus on social media and leadership from York St. John University in York, England. Katie’s strong background in customer relations, communications and leadership has contributed to her many successes.
In her spare time Katie caters to the whims of many canine companions through her business Your Puppy Nanny where she provides “loving care for when you’re not there…”
I got my flu shot this year for the first time in years. I don’t believe in them, and I always end up sick after I get it, but I did it as a christmas present to my mother. Who is convinced that I lick subway polls in the car that only people with the plague ride.
Well FYI I’ve been sick all week. Like spent two days in bed sick.
I got stuck with a needle and I’m still sick.
FYI…..this sucks!
