Summerarizing todays articles 9/18/09

In today’s article “Getting Back Into It” a guy named John Connor and his wife were married for thirty three years and counting. After his wife had passed away n 1997 John with three grown children for the first time found himself sad and al alone. One day while John was on his computer while at work an ad popped up. It was a match.com ad. He hesitated at first than clicked on it. He wound up meeting a lady around his age who was divorced and also worked with computers just like john. "The Internet gave me a new way to meet and date at this stage of my life," says Connor, 60, who divides his time between homes in Plano, Texas, and Naples, Fla. "It's making that initial effort--when you find yourself alone after so many years with one person--that's the hardest part of dating." As John said in the article.

Another article that was read today was called “Is eHarmony biased against gays?” When you are making an account on eHarmony it only allows you to choose man seeking woman or woman seeking man. There is no man seeking man or woman seeking woman. Which personally I think is a brilliant idea.

The last article we read today in class was called “The Dating Detectives” The article talks about a boy named Vikas Sharma. A 28-year-old operations manager with an IT company in Mumbai So, like many in India's mushrooming urban middle class, Sharma began dating someone online, using one of the dozens of matchmaking sites that have flourished in recent years. "I met a girl on a matrimonial site, and our relationship reached an advanced stage," he says, by which he means they had been chatting and meeting off and on for several months.
