The world of dating has certainly entered the new millennium and is becoming more diverse each and every day. It seems you only have to assemble your recipe to bake the perfect partner and off you go matching this recipe to other people’s ingredients.

Whether it’s services like Dating on Demand, soon to be launched by Comcast Cable, Match.com or a chat room, lonely lookers do no longer have to linger alone at bar while searching for their soul mate. If alcohol is your forte’, grapedates.com can match you up with another wine enthusiast to smell the bouquet. Heck, you can even send video flirts to someone’s cell phone! Even religion has jumped on the matchmaking train with special sites such as SoulMatch.com and Christiansingles.com. On the other side of the spectrum Swingerclub.com provides a platform for those who consider monogamy monotony. Really, whatever you are searching, you are bound to find it in the plethora of dating services on the net. Mixedrace.com and Saltandpeppersingles.com offer interracial dating, and Gaymatchmaker.com and Bgay.com offer dating for same sex relationships.

The question is, are the users of dating services themselves so sure what they really desire when they fill out their profile? One element the online dating technology can’t cater for is the thing happening between people that is commonly called ‘chemistry’. Haven’t we all fallen in love with someone before who didn’t share our hobbies, likes and dislikes or views on life?

Maybe one day we will enter our DNA readout into the singles dating profile and this will match us with our perfect mate. That could be an interesting prospect, especially if this perfect mate doesn’t encompass the characteristics our socialization tells us to look for.

So…daters start your engines…or ready those computers, cell phones, and ipods because the future of dating will definitely encompass technology.
