allowed to engage in flirting behavior using personal accessories such as fans and gloves to indicate interest or disinterest. Once a formal introduction had been arranged, a gentleman would be allowed to walk a young lady home from a social event by presenting her with a card that asked if he could be her escort. The young lady could consider the offers and present her own card to the gentleman she liked best. In fact one of the more romantic aspects of Victorian courtship rituals was keeping a diary of the courtship and exchanging romantic letters.
Today we have email. We have virtual cards. We have Online Dating Websites.
The dot-com business model of online dating and matchmaking services has been rated as one of the best business ideas of 2000 and beyond by ‘Business Start-Ups’ magazine. An online dating service is a community dedicated to providing the best possible search, selection, and matching technology available, while members remain anonymous until such time as they feel ready to develop a relationship further. The rise in popularity in online dating is hardly surprising. It’s a consequence of our changing lifestyles today.
Single people increasingly have a need for some sort of formal intermediary in the dating process since many work long hours in demanding careers that can take them all over the world. Online dating is altogether a much richer and more fun-filled experience. It’s also more effective, in that people can meet many others who match more detailed criteria, far more quickly, and in a safer environment.
Online dating is growing at an amazing rate. The incredible thing about the Net is its ability to connect people no matter where on earth they are – to smash through traditional boundaries of time and distance in the twinkling of an eye. Couples who have met on the Net are already a new standard.
