I've noticed that a lot of questions on G@G seem to be "My crush said hello to me, does it mean he wants to marry me?" or "I bought this girl a coffee at the vendor machine, will she date me now?" and honestly it makes me wonder if the majority of young people - and people my age - have grown so socially inept that they are not capable of properly communicating.

Many people in your generation rely heavily on texting on their phones to communicate with others. Texting is an inefficient means of communication and much of te information in verbal communications is lost. Volume, inflections, pace, emphasis, etc. . . . all are missing from text communications. When you text a question to a woman and she tects back to you, "fine," does that mean she agrees with what you said, or does it mean she is angry and you need to find another place to sleep tonight?
If you spend most of you tme texting, you smply miss much of what humans convey to each other, and not understanding each other is the result.

Those questions always make me die a little bit, inside.
"He said he wants to marry me, and start a family. Does that mean he likes me?"
Hahahaha. Yeah, really makes you think, don't it?
I don't know the answer, but I've been laughing, and scratching my head over this one for a while now.
Maybe the people are lying about their ages? I sure hope so. But I don't think so.
My hubby says he's read this is happening. Communication skills have plummeted due to social isolation from covid.
I agree, I see questions like that and wonder how these people manage to function in the real world. There are many things in life you're not taught but naturally my learn through childhood by observation but it's like these people grew up in isolation.

The wrong brain 🧠 is working at the flirting moments. We tend to thing with our other major organ during those times 🤷🏻♂️
More people than we think are neurodivergent and and many are more open about it. Don't think it's fair to label that socially inept or stupid as I saw below, the way they interact socially is way different from the norm, thus interacting with others in these situations will be difficult for most
"and honestly it makes me wonder if the majority of young people - and people my age - have grown so socially inept that they are not capable of properly communicating."
That is correct.This girl has such a beautiful face and body ONG
I think the majority of them just want extra confirmation on what they already suspect/know.
