Should you be using Twitter when not Single?

"it’s a site where you post updates about what you’re doing"

"And?"

"And then you can read other people’s updates too"

"What kind of updates?"

"Depends, some people write about what they’re eating and other updates have more substance"

"Why would you do that?"

I am on Twitter and had to explain what it is many times and those unfamiliar ones, gave me looks ranging from "I’m curious" and "I don’t understand" to "I think you’re crazy." It’s ok if I’m explaining it to friends but what if one day it’s my new significant other, the one who I want to impress, who asks me: "What are you doing?" Am I gonna say "I’m tweeting"? And how am I going to explain what Twitter is…

Let’s say he never sees me tweeting but stumbles upon and finds out I am on Twitter. There he sees what I eat, where I hang out, who I @, what I do. The whole mysterious side of me, the side I was trying to impress him with so much, vanishes. I become predictable…

So should you be using Twitter when not single?
