It's Exhausting

One of my favorite movie clips comes from "He's Just Not that Into You". In the clip, Drew Barrymore's character Mary explains how with technology, we have unlimited means of receiving rejection by men. It's hilarious, because it's very true. Gone are the days where a man simply says "I"m not interested". Instead, you notice that their responses to your texts are delayed. When you post something on their Facebook wall, they simply like it without responding or they might untag themselves from a picture. And then there's telephone etiquette--is it ever appropriate to have a DTR over text? If a date invitation is carried out via a voicemail, are you allowed to also reject them by leaving them a voice message? In Mary's own words, technology truly does make relationships "exhausting".
