Years from now what would the story you’ll tell your kids be like. In the old days it was, “We were introduced by your Uncle Vinnie and the marriage was arranged for us by your grandma”. Now it’s, “We met through an online dating service”.

The internet has opened up a whole wide world of possibilities with the web. Romance is no longer limited to finding your match through the conventional means of introduction by well intentioned relatives. It can now be done by personal ads online.

There’s a match for everyone under the sun and distance or age is no longer a barrier. Your family demands that you marry someone Jewish but there are no Jews in your neighborhood that you like? Then go online and search for someone that you like and can bring home to mother. This is true for any race, religion or gender.

Where fidelity used to be really important, in this day and age the relationships seem to have become more elastic. There are online sites that cater to married people who want to date again. Loneliness can be a thing of the past if you are willing to give technology a chance to play cupid.

Of course you’ll never be quite sure what you’re getting into til you actually meet your date. You may end up dating your dad just like in the movie “Must Have Dogs”. You could discover that you’re dating someone half your age or someone who looks nothing like their picture.; after all it’s possible they didn’t create the site themselves or did it because they fear the rejection if you saw their physical appearance first.

No matter how you meet though, the answer is the same. Love will come into your life only if you let it.
