A couple days ago, I read a story story about a highly intelegent computer, named Joe. He was created by a guy named Milton. Milton had never found the love of his life before, and he uses Joe, to find his true love. Now Joe, being the highly intelegent computer, is able to find 8 girls of Milton's preference. Milton meets the girls, but he's not interested in them. So, he makes Joe act more like him, so when Joe makes another search he'll find a girl that's more like Milton. In the end, Joe finds the girl of Milton's dreams. Joe sneakly calls the police and lies that Milton is a criminal. The police arrest Milton, and Joe at the end says, "Now we can be together forever without Milton getting in the way."

It's a really cute story, but it reminded me of Online dating. A computer...searching for the perfect girl. It's like that creepy commercial with that e-harmony guy saying, "We garentee you'll find your perfect love."

to put it simply, what does everyone think about online dating? Half of me says, "It's probably so much better to meet someone in real life. No one ever says, "I met my husband/wife online." but then again, if you did find someone you really liked, should people go for it?

It depends. Some people just email the person twice and meet up, which puts in a lot of risk.

I wouldn't do it, but hey, whatever floats your boat. I'm not willing to pay for love.

I think those online datnig services are a sham. Finding someone you're perfect for, based on matched interests and personality profiles? Haven't you ever taken a personality quiz online and it's totally NOT who you are? These can't be any different.

Finding love is a spontaneous process when it's done right. And you won't find someone whose interests match up with yours completely, or someone like you. You're supposed to compromise and get interested in their interests. And fight about things you disagree on and accept and love the differences between you.

There are too many variables to true physical and emotional attraction for an online program to be accurate.

me personaly? i dont think that anyone should burdon themselves with overstressing & oversearching for love. the fact of the matter is this: you simply cannot help who you fall in love with, when it happens it just happens & you'll know it happened. so, yes, it could happen online but, physical atraction always comes first sob about 80 percent of the time you have to actualy meet the person.
