Match.com's Got Nothing on This

Last night my husband and I were watching TV when a Match.com commercial came on. Did you know that 1 in 5 relationships start online? I did not know that. Being an online kind of girl, it doesn't really surprise me. I meet a lot of people online. Then again, I'm not sleeping with any of them.

The last time I was on the market, you had to do things the old-fashioned way, face-to-face with lipgloss and cheap beer. There was no easy weed-out mechanism and you couldn't multitask a first date while simultaneously finishing up a work presentation and watching The Bachelor on DVR. Okay, I'm exaggerating. Nobody worth dating watches The Bachelor. Don't get me wrong. I fully grasp the allure and I understand the desire to use an elaborate system of checkboxes to find the ideal mate, but, like unicorns and fat-free pizza, I don't believe such a thing exists.

I turned away from my MacBook to face my husband, "Do you think we'd be matched up?"

Personally, I doubt any man-made algorithm would have put us together. Which may account for why we are still together.

My match looked at me and held back a sigh. "Did the internet even exist when we met?"

"No," I said. "But we did have Match.com. It was called a bar."
