Am I too old fashioned for my generation?

I feel like I'm too old fashioned for my generation. In an age where no one calls it' all texts and FB messages that get forgotten about. I was recently told how it was weird that I brought a cake to a friends house who had just moved in together I had thought they would offer tea or coffee and serve the cake instead they said they would have it for dessert the next night. I didn't mind but was sad as I had hoped we would have a sit down and a good old fashioned chat over a warm beverage. I was told it have been more normal to bring beer. I would love to hear what people do that others might consider old fashioned or out of date? As well as some great places to meet people that doesent involve clubs or online.

Hi Lolou and Everyone,

I like to go to the library to borrow books and Dvds too.

Hand written cards and letters are wonderful.

We always have a tablecloth on the table and use serviettes, not cloth ones though! Maybe I will change that!

I like to post out thank you cards.

I have been known to hand out hand written invitations.

Etiquette is a dying art for some people I think.

Like Croix, I have been know to use "dear" quite a lot and still do so on my correspondence which I hand write.

I do enjoy social media as well. I love seeing photos of family and friends on Facebook, I email a dear friend who lives in Europe and do send text messages. That is as modern as I get.

Cheers all from Dools

Hello lolue,

I also go to the library to borrow books,

I like sending birthday, Christmas,christening,etc cards, I can always put a special meaningful message on them, doing by bf is not personal. I always take some cakes, slices when invited for a cuppa or dinner at a friends place.

I like to hand write letters and always address the letter with dear..

Being old fashion is nice. I say keep it up, be true to yourself.

kind thoughts
