I really have tried to ignore this taboo topic due to the type of attention and/or flack I could get for discussing this. However, this is an issue that makes me bat shit crazy. Really, let’s talk about this topic since I can’t tell you how many tweets I see regarding this.
Ok, first irritation, tweetA meets tweetB. TweetA likes tweetB which leads to tweeting. TweetA has other tweets their tweeting with. TweetB finds out and goes ape-shit with accusation of cheating????????? Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously, tweeting relationships are a simple outlet that is free, fun, uncomplicated, and should be condition free. Let’s face it, it really is hard to meet people today. Not to mention, sex isn’t really safe anymore. So to combat this problem, chat rooms as well as twitter have exploded in the number of people participating in these types of activities. That being said, this type of situation with tweetA & tweetB should not exist, right??? Wrong!
Lets make a list of some basic rules that should apply between people engaging in this type of activity & see if we can suck the drama out of some tweets problems, ok?
RULES OF ENGAGING IN TWEETING RELATIONSHIP:
1. Age must be stated clearly before any activity begins due to safety issues and consent problems that plague most adult fun. Shouldn’t have to include this one but in the heat of the moment, you would be surprise what you can forget to ask which could burn your ass later.
2. Clearly state what you are wanting out of this tweeting activity and be honest. Online seems to be a place where most people release a part of them that no one else sees. However, in relationship online, remember that you will find yourself reverting back to real self. So just be utterly honest to avoid future issues.
3. Realize that a tweeting relationship is NOT a real relationship despite the feeling involved. The mind is a very powerful receptor that produces feelings you would never dream it capable of. Please use logic to filter these feelings into logical conclusions. Realize that real relationship rules do not apply to tweeting since it really is all spur of the moment fun & self pleasure.
4. Possessive, jealous, rejection, heartache, betrayal are not words that should ever describe a tweeting relationship. If they are, end it now. The only words that do apply are friendship, understanding, tolerance, patience, support, tenderness, affection, and pleasure.
5. If at any given time, either party decides to end the relationship, remember to be friends. If you possess the maturity to engage in an tweeting relationship, then you should have the maturity to end it in a pleasant, kind way with continued support given freely between each other. Remember it was the friendship that began the tweeting so don’t lose that due to the heat fizzing out.
Ok, that should cover the basics. Just keep in mind that tenderness with a healthy dose of respect is what everyone is searching for online and in the real world. Apply that principle and you will never lose in either place. If anyone wants to add to this list, shoot me a tweet (@kl_phipps) & I will add to it often. Just my lowly opinion for what it is worth! But this is not an open invitation for everyone to attempt at tweeting with me ok???? Hence don’t blow up my damn DM cause I discussed something making me bat shit crazy!!!!!!
That is sooooo true! Well thought out, well written and very well received here at least š
Your right, i’m glad you brought this up cause you know what happen’d to me :\! And from that day on i never want to trust a person again that i don’t know. There are lot’s of personality’s out there, and some are just evil or just making jokes, not like most that are real people with real feelings.So to answer you, it is possible to have a relationship on twitter, or anywhere ells like msn and so on. One of my friends got marry’d through the internet, i feel’t like, woow that’s amazing, and it is. But for me personally, i will never again start a relationship, like a tight one again. it only hurts you š„ …!!!
I think it’s great that you tackled this subject. Humans crave attention and acceptance. I truly believe people seek to connect with others, whether in person or online. It’s impossible to know who you will feel a connection with. We tweet with others and base our opinions on the subject matter we discuss.
I have made many new friends on twitter, including you, sweet fairy š
Some friendships have moved beyond the confines of 140 characters. I’ve exchanged email addresses and developed friendships based on common interests .
The twitterverse is a place where one can get lost, become someone else, express thoughts and opinions, flirt, joke and connect. The rules of attraction change by the tweet.
Have I engaged in a tweeting relationship? Yes, I have. I love to exchange tweets with smart, sharp, and funny men and women. Is some of it inappropriate? Yes, sometimes it is, but always done with humor.
Great job! Very thought provoking.
Aw thanks lucy!! I agree. Sometimes I wonder how powerful connections made through the mind online can be stronger than connections with people in daily life. So seems logical to bring in emotions that follow daily life relationships but its not, is it? Just thoughts i’ve been having lately.
Love you girl & appreciate you like you wouldn’t believe!!
