Theory #31 - Theory of Dating in Bahrain

I wanted to say "the whole arab world" or atleast "the gulf", but since i'm not exactly sure how things are in those countries i'll stick to Bahrain.

Dating in bahrain is hardly ever something between two people. It's a threesome.

Always always always.... if done in TRUE bahraini style, a threesome.

you, your partner, and your phone. that's my theory.

I swear.. the people in China didn't have it that wrong when they created the Virtual Girlfriend on the phone

I mean.. if you REALLY think about it and analyze a relationship in Bahrain. There's a lot of sms'ing.
a lot of calling.

You're constantly looking at your phone. waiting for a call, waiting for a message, it's your phone that you stay up with long hours at night chatting with. It's your phone that you always make sure you have and that you smile at when writing a loving sms. It's also your phone you fling across the room when you're angry at the caller and it's your phone you ignore and try not to glance at when ignoring the caller.
honestly, even when your partner CALLS.. it's the phone that gets your reaction. whether it's a pleasing reaction of smiling towards it, or frowning and getting upset cause someone hasn't called you.
So how much PHYSICALLY do they see each other really? the bahraini couple? when he drives by and sees her standing with her friends? once a week maybe in an outing?

And now with video conferencing on the phone, wow... i'm telling you.. there's absolutely NO reason for guys and girls to actually MEET. there's gonna be so much going on with the phones they won't need to physically meet each other unless they're going to have sex. and you know what? i bet the virginity level in bahrain will go UP! cause then they don't gotta actually see the guy anymore. True there might be an increase in home-made sex movies that are sent over the phone... but the girl might still be "literally" in-tact!
it's getting a bit more evolved into using the internet as well. but now that we have internet on the PHONE.. it goes back to us using the phone even more to stay in contact with our partners.

this is what a bahraini couple should do.. when they start getting serious.. they should buy each other new mobile phones. it's like picking the third partner in a relationship for one another. which phones won't burn the ears after using it for a while, which phone doesn't have tiny buttons so that a girl can sms fast with her nails, which phone company has the best coverage and reception. or has roaming so that they keep in contact when they travel. which one looks good to carry around (for girls)..... i mean... if you think about it. most couples look at their phones and converse with it MORE than they do they're actual partners in bahrain.

am i wrong?
