In that excerpt you quote the founder of an online dating website as saying, I frequently wonder whether matching you up with excellent folks is becoming so efficient, as well as the process so pleasurable, that marriage will end up dated." I laughed when I read that because my encounter, and the encounter of a number of my pals, with online dating has been one of ultimate frustration and routine disappointment.
