A really cute guy, who was obviously gay, was sitting across from me the other day when I was travelling on the LRT. I thought I would catch his attention and flirt with him, hoping that it would lead to more. Sadly, he was buried in his phone throughout the entire 20-minute journey. He was either sending SMSes or playing some high-tech game. Or his phone must have been extremely attractive. At any rate, we didn't lock eyes and soon he got off the train.
Mobile phones are really killing the gay scene. You can hardly cruise anyone anymore. Everyone's too busy with SMSes or games to pay any attention to anyone around them. At least if they are making calls, their eyes would still scan around - but honestly, how many people use their mobile phones for phone calls these days?!?
Gone are the days when you could walk around town and have a bit of fun cruising guys. Now you have to SMS them first before you'd catch their attention. And then you'd end up flirting virtually instead of doing IT for real.
