Do you want to hang out tomorrow ?   Oh , I can't . I have a date !   Really ? Wow with who ?   This girl I've been chatting with for the past couple of months . She's really cool and she's driving over here this weekend .   Wait a minute , you mean you met her online ?   Yeah ! I signed up for a website called match @ . com and it is great ! You fill in all your details and preferences , like if you are a smoker or if you have any pets . Then you find people that have similar characteristics and you can email them or chat .   That is kind of weird ! What if she is a psycho or something like that ?   It's the same as meeting people anywhere and dating them ! I am just tired of going to bars or being set up for dates by my friends ! I think this is a really cool alternative , especially if you are a bit shy .
