WIRED — Mar 11 — These days, if you're single and have internet
access, you're about as likely to have an online personal as not.
Not long ago I read a series of articles about how membership in online
dating sites was leveling off. Of course it is! If a
matchmaking site is any good, it stands to reason that people would
pair off and cancel their memberships. The lines between meeting
online and meeting offline grow fuzzy. Ask me where I met my boyfriend
and I'll tell you online, on a motorcycle listserv. Ask him, and he'll
say offline, at a party thrown by another member of the list. The
internet has become as ordinary as any church group, running club or
singles hangout when it comes to meeting a special someone or
two. FULL ARTICLE @ WIRED
