..........find/meet your prospective 'soul-mate'???
How successful is it?
And, to me (we dont encourage dating in my country; I got married the 'arranged' way!), it looks like an excuse to have' fun', pardon me if I am wrong.
So, tell me, make me more aware of exactly how it works. And, does it deliver the goods (no pun intended!)??

Arranged marrieage, I don't believe in that myself, why should I let someone else pick out who i am to marry, What happens if you don't think the same way, what happens if your not really attracted... dating in the USA, is not the idea of loosing virginity, I have dated several women, since my late wife's demise. I have met some nice women, but we are not on the same page, or ideas... I think parents should still discuss sex and dating with there kids, what happens with an unwanted pregancy, of course that should not happen, got to much birth control available, sorry to say we got to many people in the world now, and they talk about the carbon dioxide, well each one of those new mouths breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide... and there you have more global warming ...

Each persons culture has a right and wrong way. The western world dates. I like it. It is unfortunate that some peoples values have declined to where now if you go on a date there is an expectation of sexual intercourse family values are poor as well.
