Gimme' Gimme' More

We live in a world designed to give us what we want when we want it and at a reasonable price. For instance craving a juicy hamburger we are open 24 hours a day ready to fill you with arteory clogging goodness. Sex? well take a ride down east hastings and you can have your pick but if that aint your scene just drive to the nearest establishment serving alcohol and look for the drunkest member of the sex you are interested in. Our generation can get whatever we want it when we want it; we don't even have to be able to afford it. Any credit card company practically will give you a card (as long as you have a job) I'm sure they love kids our age just foaming at the mouth for the newest thing but our young budgets can't always afford it so what do we do we geta credit card. With all this easy access to material goods at such a fast speed I can't help but wonder: where is the satisfaction when nothign is worked for? And what is all this give it to me now teaching us? And what's more what is it bringing into our relationships?
Take me and Dane-Cook* for example; everything is good however when we first started out we rushed into things physically maybe too fast. The i want it now mentality of our generation and anyone who has ever lived to be a teenager fuels our actions but the "okay" that we are consantly given by society for every other want or desire causes us to simply leap in and seize what we want when we want it. Now where is the bad you may be asking? We don't work for it. Half the fun of a new relationship is making the other peson work and seeing how long you can defy those urges. Our gimme' more and "okay then" mentality makes us lose appreciation for those things. It brings a sense of urgency to a relationship and a certain amount of pressure; because we know if we do not give in to our partners requests they can easily go find it else where [thats not to say they necessarily would] but still its there. This in turn leads us to do things that we are perhaps not ready for in a relationship. That said how fast is too fast and how slow is too slow?
Too fast: when you do something you are not emotionally or mentally ready for. Remember in relationships it is all about doing things on your time on your clock. If you're not comfortable dont do it
Too slow: still just holding hands on the 10th date. Too slow is harder to define i think because once again its all about what you're comfortable with but you don't have to be a Mormon about it.
Don't let someone with a Gimme' More mentality pressure you into anything. You are not a 24 hour drive in. If its rights its right if it wrong then its not right. You'll know the difference.
