Kissing with the TV on


I read a statistic in a magazine that said, “In the average lifetime people spend 2 weeks kissing, and 9 years watching TV.”

How depressing! And we wonder why relationships are so dysfunctional. I have often thought that TV is detrimental to today’s society. With obesity rates rising, and test scores falling, we are spending less time interacting with one another and more time sitting in front of the television.

And seriously, how dismal. Kissing is probably the most exhilarating and enjoyable activity you can partake in. What is better in life then a good snog with someone you are in like with?

So, my idea for a solution - a conclusion I got with some help from a brilliant male friend of mine – is this: if you have a significant other, and you are watching TV with one another, then during every commercial break, kiss. You don’t have to makeout, although that would be fun, just a kiss.

Just try it, you never know, it may improve your relationship, and if nothing else, you get some more mindless kissing!

The Wonderful World of Dating: a semi-caustic look at dating in today’s world, given from the heart of a chronically single girl, appears every Wednesday right here at

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did. You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hrut because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

Don’t be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin!
