This correlates, for sure, because according to the various and assorted cyberdating websites, members are signing up by the gazillions. And, there are now web sites for the most specific of tastes; religious affiliations, gender specific, age related, they do the picking for you, throw it against the wall, and so on. 

It struck me that it is a wonder that previous generations were able to effectively date without all this important information just a click away.

But I digress. Back to the books and web sites that offer up advice on: what to do, what to say, what to think, what to eat on the first date, what to avoid, where to meet, how to book the caterer and what to name the children. 

So, I scanned a few of the titles, read a few of the on line sites, and found that there are a couple more suggestions that I can offer up.

1. Each profile should have a sell by date.

2. Sunglasses are not a fashion accessory.

3. An ipod, iphone, or newspaper with the current date should accompany the photo.

4. What "friends would say" is not an endorsement.

5. Reading the obits to see who is now single is not cool. 

If you have any other thoughts that you'd like to share, I'd give you credit, when I publish the gazillionth and one, next book.
