Search Results: perfect match

"Back in the day" (when I was a young man, shortly after the Spanish-American War,) there was no internet, no cell phones, no texting, no FB, IG, SC, Twitter, G@G, TInder, POF, match. com, or anything else. Somehow we survived!

Anyway. . . sometimes, a friend's girlfriend would say, "I have a friend who would be PERFECT for you!" When I asked, "What does she look like?" they would respond, "She has a great personality," and that let me know to not expect a beauty queen. Sometimes, the friend's girlfriend would set up a date, sometimes it would be a double date with the friend and his girlfriend, and I would just show up and meet the lucky contestant. Sometimes, I would call the girl to arrange the date but I never met her, or saw her, in advance of the date. These were called "blind dates;" perhaps that term is still used.

Usually, there were no great surprises, because I entered such dates with virtually no expectations, though I did have one date with a girl - Candace -from Agnes Scott College who was charming and beautiful! None of the blind dates resulted in a long term relationship, but it did develop some dating skills that later became useful (I started college when I was 16 - not common in my day - and was trying to date girls who were at least 3 years older than me. Yes, that was harder than Chinese arithmetic!)

Have you ever had a blind date? How did it work out for you? Did he or she "have a wonderful personality?"

Lets take Instagram for an example.

Perfect videos and pictures of cute couples doing amazing things while you and your lover are sitting on the couch in pjs eating pizza, lol. These ‘perfect couples' makes people second guess their relationship. After all, he could find somebody younger and thinner and she could find a rich guy whom is always showering her in gifts.

Also the fact that there are too many choices. Everybody has this idea of how their partner should be like and nobody really can match the image. No one really works things out anymore, because its easy to replace someone now a days.
