Meet A Beautiful Fantasy Date Nearby
The internet is great for putting you in touch with people you never thought you'd meet, from all walks of life and from all parts of the globe. That said, we don't all have a jet-setting lifestyle and we can't necessarily pick up our lives to join a prospective mate on the far side of the world. That might be a beautiful fantasy, but it's not that practical for most people. Maybe love should conquer all, but sometimes it is trumped by geography. That's why local dating sites are so practical, they let you target your search to people in a certain area.

Try The All New Virtual Date
"What," you ask, "in God's name is a virtual date?" I asked the same question when I first heard the term. I'm a nerd, and I do nerdy things, but I never thought that online romance would become the subject matter taken up in scientific journals. Also, being so generally bewildered by human interaction, I really never thought that anyone would be able to say that there was anything like a "next logical step" for anything in the world of romance. But, I was wrong, and so here we are. The interest, I guess, is in the technology of human interaction and virtual dating is apparently the next evolutionary step after online dating personals.

Gimme A Love Gadget!
Have you heard about those machines you can get that tell you when you’re in close proximity to another single person who is also armed with a similar device? I heard about these years ago. Someone said they were very popular in Japan, although I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one. However, that doesn’t stop me from wanting one. I think they’re a great idea. GPS for single people! I just wonder how that would work.

They Prey on Fear
When it comes to the technology utilized by dating sites, one of the worst ideas I’ve seen are the blind-calling services. You’ve probably seen them. You sign up for a dating site and find someone you’d like to chat with. Instead of having to give out your phone number, you can use this service to connect by phone anonymously.

Watching My Words
Have you ever written something insignificant to someone over email or instant messaging and then WHAMO! they write something back tearing you a new hole where none belongs? I had that happen to me today. Mind you, I called her something that she felt offensive, but to me, it wasn’t offensive at all. The written word used to be something that I used to put on a pedestal.

IM: Do Not Disturb
I always find it funny when dating sites have instant messaging as one of their features. It seems like such an intrusion. Sure, it’s great if you’re undiscerning. The more contacts you can make the merrier, right? However, I think that for anyone who really cares about who they date would find this a pain.

Loving Troj/Erazer-A
Well, it looks like our love songs are in serious jeopardy. The danger lies in a virus that promises to cripple your computer and lay a beating on certain files. The malicious file is called Troj/Erazer-A. It is seen by some to provide more of a community service than anything else. Those people are largely those who understand the damage peer-to-peer networks have caused.

Instant Messaging and Online Dating
Email has had such a profound effect on snail mail, but the same can be said for instant messaging and the telephone. Friends that I once chatted with every couple of days on the phone are now mere contacts on my chat client. Sure, we now touch base more often, but for shorter durations, and the content that is digitally delivered contains less quantity, and more often is of questionable quality, than those discussion we had on the phone.

Is it something new or a rehash of what we’ve seen before? That’s what I’m left asking after hearing that Lavalife has launched a singles chat room based around Skype, the free Internet chat client.

Online Dating Kiss of Death
Have you ever wondered if your enthusiasm for online dating was perhaps the kiss of death for a relationship? I have. Having been online four almost half a decade, I’ve leaned the ins and outs of the dating game. I have a pretty good sense of how a profile should look and feel and what needs to be done to maximize my overall return. Part of the process requires you to log in frequently.

Can I Call You?
Instant messenger kills me. I’ve met a number of people online and it’s always interesting when they’re so stoked to get on to messenger. I have a problem with instant messaging in that I find it’s a sub-standard way to communicate when you’re meeting local people. It takes longer to type, you can’t express emotions and if you’re sarcastic, watch out!
