Hooking up

I'm hooked by the recent ABC dating show Hooking up cuz it gives me flashbacks of my own online dating experiences, sigh, what a waste of time. When a man and a woman are set up in the dating scene, with the mindset that he/she is here to date/mate, even though they don't really know the person sitting across the table, they know what they are here for. Especially the first date, it can be really awkward and painful. Today, people are too busy to engage in a long and meaningful courtship, they would much prefer a quick lay, a one night stand, with no strings attached. Skip the flirting, ogling, and all other relationship phase stuff, let's cut to the chase, that's where the name "Hooking up" comes from, what a cold and pitiful name.
