The "Online Flings"

In Anatomy of a Boyfriend, the main character Dominique and the boy she has a crush on, Wes, have been sending many emails back and forth now. Wes invited Dom to a New Years party that his friend is hosting and Dom gladly accepts the invitation. Up until this Amy, Dom's best friend, had been hinting at her that she and Wes could totally have a thing and that Amy knows Wes is single since they run on the same track team and Amy scopes out his relationship status a lot. Dom and Wes barley talk at the party but afterwards have tons of e-mail and IM conversations. I can really relate to this because in out generation most communication is online, and not only that but Dom also gets really excited when her and Wes have these online conversations. Many teenagers these days socialize a lot with people online and can even have exciting conversations that turn into the highlights of their days. The same thing that happens with Dominique and Wes, is a really typical high school fling communication and I really enjoy reading about it.
