And at the time I was like, don't talk like that. You're not going anywhere. And it took me like a year to realize what a gift that was that he gave me because he gave me the ability to say, I don't have to feel guilty about this. He wanted, he wants me to be happy and he doesn't want me to mourn my whole life.

No, we didn't have apps. We didn't even have cell phones as a matter of fact. So there were no apps. Yeah, dating has changed. I really completely, and I'm not positive it's in a great way. So there was a time where I thought, oh, like texting is really unique and it's great because you can have conversations with people and you can have it like when it's good for you.

You don't have to always be on your phone. You can have a conversation. You don't have to pick up a phone and talk to somebody when it's convenient for them, not necessarily convenient for you. But what I feel like I really noticed, and this was even my dating experience, not just my kids, is that you don't really develop a real relationship.

Like you can be kind of a different person when you're texting. You have time to think of the witty replies and you have time to... make your life seem maybe more interesting. When you're face-to-face with somebody, you get way different things. You get the authentic them that doesn't have time to think about their answers, which is better, I think. And you also figure out if you have a chemistry.

And I don't think you can do that via text. Like somebody can be really witty and interesting and like a person you think you're falling in love with. And then you can walk into a restaurant to meet them and find out that that was totally untrue. And you wasted a lot of time.
