Many of us want love, but seem to be looking around in all of the wrong places- all except the internet! Have you ever considered connecting with your potential soul mate in the virtual world? I'm talking about online dating, now considered the 'newest' and most common dating tool to find love.
In the article called The New Dating Tools: A Card and a Wink, I read about different ways you can connect with someone through the internet. Lori Cheek, a 37 year old architect founded a venture such as Cheek'd which had its debut in May.
"Users receive calling cards to dole out to alluring strangers they encounter in their everyday lives, be it in a club or in a subway on their morning commute. Recipients of the cards can use the identification code printed on them to log onto Cheekd.com and send a message to their admirer. A pack of 50 cards and a month’s subscription to Cheek’d, where users can receive messages and post information about themselves, is $25. There is no fee for those who receive cards to communicate with an admirer through the site."
Each card has a cute message on it which communicates exactly what you really would like to say to your crush! It's a great tool for those who are shy. You simply slip him/her the card and hopefully if they are interested they will find you according to your Cheekd.com information displayed on the surface.
Most find this way to be beneficial because it's faster, more organic and less formal. Companies such as Match.com and eHarmony.com definitely have competition as more and more online dating site arise and are trying to advance technology-based love connections because it's easy, fast, and best of all exciting!

What is your opinion about online dating? Have you ever tried it? Would you? or do you think it's just a desperate attempt at finding love?
If you have a story (good or bad) please share!

Boring
Maybe you just need to open your mind a little bit. New ideas are always refreshing.
I would personally be terrified to hand out "a card and a wink" to a cute stranger, and a bit suspicious of a man that hands me a card at a random public place. Maybe the city has turned me into a paranoid person.
Having said that, how cute would it be if you met the love of your life, because he had the guts to flirt with you this way...
maybe the city has turned me into a romantic.
