How The Internet Will Ruin Your Chance At A Relationship

Oh, Modern Love, you with your late to the party trend pieces. Googling a prospective date? What is this, 2000? Everyone who’s anyone knows that that’s standard practice — how else can you be sure you aren’t about to get into bed with a serial killer?

Okay, yes, googling someone you’ve just met can introduce you to some interesting information, and maybe make you feel a little awkward around them — but just chalk it up to first date jitters and laugh the whole thing off, kids! If people didn’t want to be googled by random strangers, they wouldn’t put themselves on the internet. That’s what I always say, at least.

Um, sorry, who’s the girl in the picture? More?

On topic, if someone can’t handle that I made some comment on lube, that I take interesting random pictures and that I reviewed some iphone charger on amazon, I don’t want to date them anyway.

When my husband googled me back in ’02, he saw an Amazon.com book review that I’d left in high school and fell completely in love with me. I’m not saying my great ass had nothing to do with it, but the cuteness of my review certainly helped. Here’s to the internet advancing a relationship!
