Love Online Article Review

Online interaction is quite different than the interaction that my parents’ generation is used to. I myself even am a little uneasy about the topic but others close to my age and younger have little to no issue with 100% online relationships. In the Article, Henry a 15-year-old is in this very situation. He drives all the way from Massachusetts to Nebraska to meet the girl he’s been dating online. This type of interaction and behavior is becoming more and more common in today’s world of instant communication. The whole thing seems strange because it is not the ordinary thing to do. The extravagant things that Henry does for his girlfriend, such as the wine stain imprint of his lips, struck me as odd when I first read them. Then I realized that they would not be strange to me if it was a regular relationship and they saw each other every day face to face. My own feelings of uneasiness are attached to a stigma against online dating that I have. It’s not that I don’t accept online dating or look down upon it, more that It is still unknown and new to me as I myself have never experienced an online relationship.
