Grover: “What is love?”
Chelsea: “Love is something to do with hugs and kisses and a warm feeling inside.”
Grover: “Yeaaaah! Boy, love sounds great!”

Thanks to online matchmaking, today your computer really can help you find the right man but the lyrics must have been like a glimpse of the future at the time:

Computer Number 3
will find the right boy for me,
and love for us both is guaranteed.
The Computer knows
the right woman for every man,
and happiness just keeps spilling
out of its database.

One of many million men,
is waiting somewhere for me.

“There is a little place in the jumbled sock drawer of my heart where you match up all the pairs, throw out the ones with holes in them, and buy me some of those neat dressy ones with the weird black and red geometrical designs on them. “

” All humans are 99.9% genetically identical, so don’t even think of ending any potential relationship begun here with ‘I just don’t think we have enough in common’. Science has long since proven that I am the man for you”

“I have a mug that says ‘World’s Greatest Lover’. I think that’s my referees covered. How about you? “

” God appeared to me in a dream last night and spoke your name in my ear. He gave me the winning lottery numbers, too, though, so you can understand where my priorities lay when I raced to grab a notebook and pen. Man, 37, living on hope and the next seven weeks’ bonus balls seeks woman whose first name begins with S, or maybe F, and rhymes with chicken, and has a surname that’s either a place in Shropshire or the title of a 1979 Earth, Wind and Fire track. Shicken Boogiewonderland, I know you’re reading this.”

So even if printed personals are a bit démodé these days, these personals could serve as inspiration for online personals, your matchmaking profile or even original chat up lines. Humour is usually a fool-proof way of starting a conversation, so why not employ it online, too?

1. Some questions are pretty sensible – even if you don’t answer “Yes” to all of them, it’s probably a good idea to think about some issues like finances and commitment, before you take a vow that will change your life.
2. Some of the other questions aren’t exactly bad, but today you should probably answer them the exact other way around if you’re ready for marriage!
3. Some questions feel like they came straight from the dark ages and make the questionnaire feel more like an employment form for housekeepers.

Whatever you answer – some questions will give you pause for thought, some will make you laugh out loud and in the end it’s still up to you to decide whether you’re ready for marriage! After the jump is the scanned quiz.

The fable about the Ant and the Grasshopper begins at this time of year – while the weather is still beautiful and the summer is drawing to a close, the ant is busy stocking up supplies for the winter ahead. The grasshopper, however, is enjoying the weather and couldn’t be bothered thinking about the cold months ahead. As winter sets in, the ant is nice and cosy, with plenty of food to keep her going, while the grasshopper suffers cold and hunger because he didn’t prepare for the cold season.

This analogy is usually applied to hard work that pays off financially when times get tough, but applied to online dating, the lesson also rings true. Some singles don’t log on to their online dating profiles for months throughout the summer. Why should they? They are having a great time, going out with friends, engaging in outdoors activities, going on holidays and maybe even meeting new people. Come winter, they begin to worry about the shorter days and the long, lonely nights. As the social calendar becomes less full, they realise that they are still single and have no one to cuddle up to in the cold winter months. Suddenly online dating sites become extra-busy, as singles try to find a partner before Christmas or finally do something about last year’s New Year’s resolution not to be single anymore by this time next year.

Other singles, however, are active on online dating sites all through the summer – and with that extra dedication, they have much more of a chance of finding a partner before winter comes. Then, to return to our fable, when the grasshopper comes knocking on the ant’s door in December, asking if he could take the lovely guy the ant met on an online dating site to the office Christmas party, the ant can say:

“Keep your hands off my man! (It is best to prepare for days of necessity.)”

Australian singer Kate Miller-Heidke has a pretty strong response to the question “Friends with your Ex on Facebook – yea or nay?”

The song is about an ex who broke her heart years ago and now wants to be her friend on Facebook. Her reaction: “R U ******* Kidding Me?”. She just doesn’t care “what kind of Cocktail he is” Instead, she says: “I don’t don’t give a toss if you’re a pirate or a ninja, I suspect you’d be a pirate but I don’t wanna verify it….and I certainly don’t want you poking me!” So instead of being friends with her ex on Facebook, she clicks “ignore”.

It’s all very “end of a relationship 2.0″!
