If "Netflix and Chill" was the social and dating phenomenon of the last year, there's a new one in town. With the outrageous success of "Pokmon GO", it looks like "Pokemon Go" and Chill is coming right behind. It's good to see that it's bringing people together— seriously, people are getting dates out of this thing. Which is great, because it's also tearing relationships apart. There are loads of stories on social media about losing their significant other to the new addictive game. And although they're all said as sort of half jokes, I've dated a gamer before and let me tell you, the struggle is REAL.
The one problem of course, is that while Netflix is a comfy couch-based activity, perfect for cuddling up and then abandoning the laptop completely in favor of sex, "Pokemon Go" is less, well, chill. I mean, it's got people driving across roads, climbing into fountains, and (I kid you not) finding actual dead bodies. I don't see how running around glued to your phone and screaming the names of Pokemon can possibly lead to any sort of intimacy or even casual sex. But I know gamers, and I don't underestimate them. "Pokemon Go" & Chill will persevere.
