The illusive girl ..........

Online chatting is a craze among youngsters. In the computer center of my institute u will find that more than half of the boys are chatting with some Tina , Mina, Priya so on.
Some use their original ID and some fake or proxies.But one thing is common among them, they have a craze for girls.Most of them have come from a back ground where they didn't had an interaction with the girls. Most thought nothing except studies in their school. Some of them where really lucky to reach here and some really... really unlucky enough to land in this institute. But the craze for girls is same in all of them.The matter is aggravated further by the fact that there is no girl in our batch and this make the boys to look outside for some flirting and fun.Net is better than any other place for this purpose.And orkut and messenger are just customized for this purpose.
There are boys who are bold enough to approach the girls and there are boys who just roam around the girls in their friend's friend list like bees around their hives. This has created a short of cold war among those belonging to the first category and the second category. The bold boys do all the kill and the others like vulture wait for the remains.
There has been few success story in this online romance. One nice boy got hooked to a nice girl from distant Maharastra. Every thing went fine, the jan pahchan grew into love and even their where plans for marriage , but only then the girl asked for boys photograph.The demand was met and after that he never heard again from that girl.
Some others where lucky enough that their romance didn't go that further. One of my close friend set a date for himself. She came ,but along with another girl. That was a nice package. Set one and get one free. He never told us that what happened to him during the date.May be he feels that we might grow envious.That girl still calls up the boy to look for another date dinner but he turns down each offer. May be he got his quota full at the first time itself,but it is unlikely and and the reasons are for u to guess.
The world is full of such examples.This makes me to think over the future of relationships in these communities.
Can they be substitute for the interaction in the real world.I think it is highly unlikely.
These online interaction is not the permanent solution. They are just a place for frustrated youngsters to relieve some of their frustration. How can u have real friendship with a person u have never met,never seen and never felt.
After all we aren't even sure that the girl with whom I am chatting is really a girl or not.May be he is a boy in disguise of girl. The search for a friend ( no matter girl or boy) should start from the real world.There u have a higher chance of meeting the right person.
May be u can take the help of latest technology in ur great endeavor.
The right place to look for one is in ur surrounding.
But my Insti friends should be forgiven for taking the direct short cut. The reason being ....u need to have one in ur surrounding to up look to. Unlucky boys..............

Good text naman, but beware vikas may be hearing all this?..
Perhaps rapid rate of virtual relation forming and breaking over web are due to low-commitment requiring nature of the web coupled with ease with which one can missproject one's self into a refined one. It may be stupid to form the kind of flirting relations on the web and expect them to last long. But isn't it the way guys like it as long as chatting through text and voice goes well? Migration to some stuffed flirting may be heady, but for entry level flirturers net is doing fine. Poor fellows like .... mess it wrong way by adding sentiments to the play.
On the other hand social networking is realy doing fine for seekers with a genuine liking for discussions and networking.

Haha.. I can tell the pain. My orkut's reserved for friends and acquaintances. Girls only in hard copies for me, coz a bird in hand is always better than two in bush. haha.
