#SkypeMarriage
Mom: *at the dinner table, talking with me about one of my internet friends* I dunno how you feel, but I think he has a crush on you.
Me: *Facepalm*
Mom: *shrugs* And, I mean, you guys are right, you're both too young for that kind of thing-
Me: I'm not dating till I'm thirty.
Mom: But it would be really cool if you knew him for a long time, got to be really good friends, and then dated him.
Me: -.-
Mom: Maybe you could have your relationship via Skype.
Me: ? Uh, long-distance relationships never work out, according to fanfics and television shows.
Mom: Well, I mean, it wouldn't work if you were married-
Me: *laughs* Ha, Skype Marriage! That's another requirement of my marriage, it has to be over Skype, even if the dude is in the room over!
Mom: *sigh* What I'm saying is, you could just get closer in a friendly way over Skype.
Me: Then it wouldn't be dating.
Mom: That's not what I- Well, I just- all my friends who married their highschool sweethearts stayed married, and why? Because they were friends beforehand.
Me: But then there's that fear of ruining your friendship if the relationship doesn't end well.
Mom: Some people can just agree to go back to being best friends.
*conversation continues, then eventually drifts off towards the topic of how our food was cooked*

Mom: You know, but maybe he and you could-
Me: *eye twitches* MOOOM
