Romantic Tech Skills

One of my favorite things about the guy that I am dating is that he has excellent skills with technology. He can fix my computer every time that there's a problem with it. I know that doesn't sound particularly romantic but sometimes usefulness is better than romance!

Actually, he's pretty good at using his tech skills to send a little bit of romance my way as well. He's the kind of person who is always sending instant messages and text messages and emailing me photos to stay in touch with me throughout the day.

When we first started dating, he already had the plans to spend the summer in a foreign country. He wasn't able to talk to me much while he was gone. However, he always found a way to stay in touch. One time when I had a dentist appointment that I was nervous about, he used an SMS gateway to send me a text message from an Internet cafe that he was at. I wouldn't have known how to do that but he did and the thoughtfulness behind the gesture was sweet.

Of course, he does the more traditional romantic things as well. He brings flowers on my birthday and all of that. But honestly I prefer the way he uses technology to get into my heart!
