No, that doesn't mean you're dating your computer. Although, with the time
I spend on mine we could be considered going steady!
Really though; in the 60's computer dating meant you went into an office, took a compatibility quiz and your card was fed into a giant "HAL" sized computer. Your card was spit out with a bunch of holes in it. From there, the holes were matched up with someone most likely to be your mate. Since I wasn't really around in the 60's, I don't know what the success rate of that service was.
What I do know is that in the 2000's computer dating is still around. Sites like Match.com and others, fill the web with opportunities for the lonely, looking for a chance to meet Mr./Ms. Right. In fact it's no longer a rarity to know someone who has subscribed to the service and met someone they really liked.
The future of dating has been reduced to a Username, a log in code, and a 5-year-old picture of yourself-- 10 pounds lighter!
But it is a successful service! What do you think of this? Would you ever consider doing it? Don't you think it's dangerous? And why is traditional dating almost a thing of the past?
Remember, these online services cost money, asking someone out in real-life is less expensive. I wonder if more men use the service. What do you think?
