      They may have been 'prehistoric' .. but @ least people were still willing to meet in-person, interact and have real conversations with one another. Today .. asking for a date w/someone is all done on LIVE chat, face time or whatever. Oh! and hopefully your date can talk normal too. Most speak the same way they text ... abbreviated! Ya need a pocket dictionary to keep up w/the OMG's, LOL's, tee zee he she's, WTF's!!, IMO, BFF's etc etc.
      In my day .. the only {important} abbreviations we needed to know were .. BYOB, IRS, SSA, FBI, CIA, DEA, ATF, FDNY, NYPD, DSHS and OBGYN. 😎

    It's a fun song with a quick short story. Moral is keep the spiciness in your relationship. Don't just settle into a box, have date nights or overnight escapes or do silly things like walking in the rain. Its very easy to get into a daily routine, especially after the kids come, but to keep a lasting relationship you must work at it and have special times to look forward to.........without the kids around.

  • @gmunden1

    It's about rekindling a relationship. They each thought their relationship was becoming predictable and routine. At the end, after meeting in the bar, they realized that they were looking for the same thing. It's a funny, sweet, and beautiful song about two people who love each other.

    They were both bored of the same old dull routine. But what they didn't realize was that everything they were both looking for in their relationship was always right there and they just never realized it until she placed the personal ad and he replied to it.
    The personal ads for adults in the newspaper was a big thing back then.
    There were even sections for kids and teenagers looking for pen pals in the teen magazines. At age 13 or so, I had a girl penpal that lived in another state that we wrote letters back and forth, and swapped pictures. Unfortunately, we lost track of one another.
    Sometimes when I'm looking through the old photo albums and I come across her pictures, I always wonder what happened to her. She would be my age now... late fifties.

    He may not have a lot of hits on the music charts but Rupert Holmes is very accomplished. He has written several shows for Broadway, both musicals and plays, and recently published his first novel "How To Murder Your Employer". I listened to the audiobook (narrated by Neil Patrick Harris) and it is really good.

    This song is so popular because they found their love again. And they have more than they had before. Just imagine that, you are tired of your lady, so you are going to cheat. You goes to the Tinder or some crap like this and randomly reply to a woman, because "If you like piña coladas
    And gettin' caught in the rain
    If you're not into yoga
    If you have half a brain
    If you like makin' love at midnight
    In the dunes on the cape
    Then I'm the love that you've looked for
    Write to me and escape"
    and when you meet her, you find its your own lady. From all of the people you find each other again. It must be destiny.

    As an older man now, I think it used to be quite a typical feeling when you get into relationships early in your dating 'career', maybe neither of you with much experience and so you drift along together after a while.
    Maybe nowadays with the internet telling everyone what everyone else is doing to spice up a dull relationship, it doesn't get to that stage.
    Certainly after a few relationships have been and gone, it helps us realise what we like and don't like, maybe also what the warnings signs are - although freinds tell me that online dating apps are full of married people claiming to be bored, so it's possible life has always been this way.
