Remember in first grade when you first “liked” a girl? The way you couldn’t really look her in the eye because you got embarrassed and how you got mad whenever any of your friends would mention that you had a crush on her? It was the true essence of “like”- so innocent and pure. Nothing manufactured about it; you acted that way because you honestly felt it, even if you couldn’t articulate those feelings.
Fast forward to today…Between Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, “liking” has never been easier. Somebody post a pic of their newborn? Hit the like button. A snapshot of 3 coeds in bikinis on the beach? Like. New Tumblr post about abolishing racism in Senate Debates? Like that one too. In reality, we throw around the term “like” so much these days, its sometimes hard to distinguish what we actually like from what were trying to save as a favorite or who’s picture were trying to boost into the stratosphere of the Popular Page. The term, at one time used to describe something that you preferred has become so diluted. We’re not supposed to be counting “likes”, we are supposed to be giving our sign of approval on a product or idea that we would actually recommend.
It is extremely important that we remember this history when we decide to “like” a woman. If you want her to see that you are interested, you’re going to have to show her. Words are the same as hitting the “like” button to women; they just don’t mean much. It takes quite a bit of thought and action to actually show a woman that you like her, and as much, if not more work to keep her interested once you get her. So don’t take the easy way out. There’s no button to express what you like in real life. You actually need to interact with your surroundings if you plan on leaving an imprint.
