There are a wide variety of online dating sites from eHarmony to Match.com to name a few. If you have special requirements you can turn to dating sites such as JDate for Jewish singles to meet.
These sites promise to match you up with your perfect companion by taking your profile and using algorithms to determine who is a good fit. Once they send them your way you can go out and see if they computer was right.
In an era with so many ways to communicate, the question is why are we having such trouble actually connecting?
Could it be that everyone is so busy they would rather let the computer do the leg work so they don’t have to put the time in to spending time with a person to see if they are a good match? Or are we just so used to relying on technology that we feel it’s more qualified to know what we want better than we do?
Either way the past stigma of computer dating is fading. In the past it was perceived to be the last stop for desperate singles. Now there are many well educated, out-going and attractive singles who view this as a short cut to finding their soul mate.
Time will tell if these computer generated love connections will stand the test of time. If they do then we can look forward to more singles heading their way. If not then they might have to resort to actually going out and meeting someone in person.

Some people seem to be far more comfortable with people they meet physically. Personally, I find interacting on the computer a much faster way to get to know someone.
For those of us who are not "normal" or "average" it is much easier to find others like us than it would be offline.
For the past 14+ years, all of those I admire and collaborate most closely with are located all over the world. The closest lives an hour away. Distance does not matter when your relationships are online.
