Google your soulmate!
No, I’m not saying to Google a potential romantic interest (although almost certainly you can learn very interesting factoids about someone that way!) What I really mean is that for those of us seeking true love, Google Romance may be the answer.
I, for one, am constant amazed at how accurately Google produces the sites I need from just a few search words, and continues to assist in more and more details of my life. It seems only natural they should turn their phenomenal power to that most complicated of issues - the dating game. Google Romance will use “psychographic matchmaking software” to match your personality profile to your perfect match, then send you on a free date - all the while serving relevant, Contextual Dating advertisements to assist in your love life.
Unfortunately, at present their server is returning a “Romance not found” error, but I’m sure I’m just doing something wrong…Better check it out yourselves!
Alternatively, you could try out one of the more elaborate dating systems I’ve heard of, you could check out Regina Lynn’s look at the digital dating trail (part of the Sex Drive column at Wired magazine, an interesting albeit sometimes disconcerting read!), a piece about the mathematics of dating (or moving house, for that matter) or indeed my (hopefully) humorous piece on Numeric Dating.
Beyond that, I hope you had a good April 1st!
