SO TRUE! Doesn't even have to be sexual, just a hand-hold, a hug or a kiss. The scent of perfume or colonge that stays with you after a date... All that stuff. Couples need that closeness to 'meld.' You don't get that on the damn telephone.

Nothing against internet dating, my two best buddies are enjoying married life with nice, attractive ladies they met online, but they were LOCAL to them. It was like meet online, a couple of nights of IMing or phone chats and then 'let's meet for dinner tommorrow and see what happens.'

My problem is that I live in a small town and my internet options are all long distance. I've gotta get back to the real World, like I said. There are some cool clubs and events around here, just gotta stop whining, get off my lazy butt and get out there and meet people.
