Relationships, romance - they take work. Sure, social media takes work too, but that is something completely different. The thing about social media is that it easily becomes about one person - the person creating the content. I personally would not accept a twitter proposal, as I see it as a highly narcissistic. A proposal of such manner is more about the one extending it, not the one it was intended for. If they can't look each other in the eye and take that big next step, maybe they should find someone else. <a href="http://www.dateme.bz" rel="nofollow">http://www.dateme.bz</a> I don't think that social media is influencing romance, but I do believe that social media is becoming a lazy way to relating.

But it's not about me getting a boyfriend or not. How would you suppose that I don't have one anyway? Regardless, I am just someone who believes in good old fashioned romance! And frankly, this is my personal opinion about things :) I appreciate yours as well. Good luck to you too! Dear RubyDoo, I appreciate the sarcasm in your comment :) Cute!

A groom Tweeted his "I DO" to @futurewife on Twitter and no one got too excited about that... I think you need a boyfriend yourself, and make sure u send him this blog so he won't propose to you on Twitter, and you should be just fine... Good Luck!

For example, the other week, he planted roses for me in his Farmville farm: <a href="http://andfaraway.net/blog/2009/11/20/romancing/" rel="nofollow">http://andfaraway.net/blog/2009/11/20/romancing/</a><br>It was nicer than real roses.

A Twitter proposal is and always will be void of those :) I said even popping the question on a linescreen would be more romantic just for the effort involved to make it happen :) In my humble opinion, romance needs some effort combined with a little creativity and a lot of love.

I think there is nothing evil in social media, social media is just what it is because it is part of the society... people there is the same people out there... “pop the question on the linescreen during a football game” So, what would be the difference between this and pop the question on twitter??? on the football game, even if it is the superbowl not so many people would be reading as in twitter… the romance??? what do you refer to real romance??? may be if there were more movies about couples proposing in twitter or social media people will start thinking that is true love.

It's found only in poetry, novels and films. I've come to believe that what you refer to as “real romance” was never real in the first place. It's found only in poetry, novels and films.
