Being in a relationship means having a partner who you share the most intimate and personal details about yourself. The person you date is the person whom you open up to about your hopes, dreams, and the details of your day. However, thanks to websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace everybody is sharing all types of personal information about themselves. Based on what we used to think a relationship was composed of, are we all in one big relationship together?
Are network over shares making us poligamists? -- knowing all the intimate details of a person used to be reserved for a significant other, but are our over shares causing us all to have that connection, voiding the intimacy of a relationship? Personally I know way too much about Lindsay Lohan thanks to her constant Twitter updates. I believe her over sharing has forced upon me a relationship with her I do not want. I can't open a magazine or read a website without seeing her cracked out 130 character rants. These thoughts that we would save and share only with our someone special are now being broadcast for the world.
Were all giving away details of ourselves that normally we would only allow our significant other to know. Where is this going to force relationships to evolve to? Is our boyfriend or girl friend just going to be the person we sleep with and don't talk intimately do, because I thought tequila and one night stands already cornered the market on that.
