Cyber Love
Imagine a romance of the kind of Romeo and Juliette version 2003.Balconies with colonnades, enflamed love letters, furtive embraces all over now…..All this belongs to the past. The new way to womanize, ladies and gentlemen is the Internet. Yer ! There is room for NTIC in the heart affairs
The clubs for discussion, for those rare people who haven't known them yet, well, they work like the sweet old clubs of the past : people meet to speak, to exchange ideas, to discover different ways of life and of course, to womanize ... Apart from the fact that everything's happening here by means of computers. People have a common opinion about the
"Tchatche".
According to Lucian, it is stupid to believe that one can meet the person they love using the avenue of those forums of discussion."To me, spending two hours before a computer chatting with girls about whom you know nothing about but names which may not be theirs is a waste of time". The same to applies Faty, a 19 year old classtomate of Lucian.To her, the " tchatche " is above all a risky adventure. " In my class last year, there was a boy who was very keen on going to Tchatche clubs, even when we were in a computer science room, instead of following the class he would indulge himself in virtual talks. In order to teach him a lesson, a female classmate thought up a hoax. She would find him on the same forum almost every day doing as if she were somebody else. One day, she gave him one appointment in town so as to mock him. He went to the appointment and was roaming about all the afternoon. Once in class the following
day everybody took him for a ride, and this went on for weeks ". " I am sure that now, He will not repeat it again " she assured.
We have understood that the "tchatche" has its opponents but also its fervent advocates like Kader, 21 years old for whom it is excellent. " It is a god-sent gift for people who are shy like me, I no longer sweat profusely from shyness before any girl seeking words, he explained. Before a computer screen, I become a real Casanova… Ok ! for the time being nothing has been concrete". " But in the mean time, at least I'm training myself to know how to womanize. Besides, beyond the womanising dimension, we meet people who are really likable and we broaden the horizons of our acquaintances. For example, I made friends with a very lovely canadian. She lives in Saskqtcewan, it is at the end of the world, we'll undoubtedly never see each other but it is cool anyway, we send each other e-mails, she talks to me about her country and I about mine, we tell each other about our lives" he added.
Nafi, 22 years old, think that there are very lovely people. "I one met on a senegalese student living in France, he was in Nancy, she said. We exchange e-mails regularly and when he came for holidays in Senegal we went out together and every thing was ok. He went back but our story goes on". This is a fine love story. It shows that even if there are hoax, funny stories and sometimes very dangerous surprises as well (like when one amuse themselves giving their true names, their phone numbers and their addresses to perfectly unknown people) the "tchatche" is also and mainly a super means to broaden one's horizons, to make friends and to open oneself to different cultures and towards those that are still unknown ".
