Online Dating

A

Do you want to hang out tomorrow?

B

Oh, I can’t. I have a date!

A

Really? Wow with who?

B

This girl I’ve been chatting with forthe past couple of months. She’s really cool and she’s driving over here this weekend.

A

Wait a minute, you mean you met her online?

B

Yeah! I signed up for a website called match. and it is great! You fill in all your details and preferences, like if you are a smoker or if you have any pets. Then you find people that have similar characteristics and you can email them or chat.

A

That is kind of weird! What if she is a psycho or something like that?

B

It’s the same as meeting people anywhere and dating them! I am just tired of going to bars or being set up for dates by my friends! I think this is a really cool alternative, especially if you are a bit shy.

A

I guess it does seem logical. I’ll have to check it out!
