Cyberdating for the New Millenium
Are you looking for a compatible mate, either from your own or
another ethnic background, who shares your values and goals? Then
say goodbye to nineteenth-century marriage brokers and "picture
brides"; say hello to cyberdating!
When Eric Fagan began searching online for a soulmate in
September, 1998, he was 63 years old and, by his own account, an
average-looking guy with little computer expertise. Over the
next ten months, he e-mailed more than 400 women (of whom about
half responded), corresponded with about 100 and met 20 in person
before finding a woman whose beliefs, habits and hobbies were
compatible with his.
Eric firmly believes that if he can do it, anyone can. He
reveals his search methods in his book entitled
Cast Your Net: A Step-By-Step Guide to Finding Your Soulmate on the
Internet (Harvard Common Press, 2001). Based on membership cost and total
number of people signed up, he recommends the websites below to start your
search
AmericanSingles®.com
Match
FriendFinder
