One of my favorite scenes is from When Harry Met Sally when the old married couples describe how they met. The one that sticks with me is the old man who says that he saw his wife in a crowded cafeteria, told his friend that he had seen his future wife and married her two weeks later.
I know that movie is supposed to explore the eternal question can men and women every be friends? Hemingway says no; Nora Ephron says...no. But I think the real question it asks is whether or not how you meet will determine the longevity of the relationship. If you don't have a meet/ cute is there anything to go from?
But in the age of the interet are were ever going to meet cute again? I mean telling people that Dr. Phil matched the two of you up is never going to sound good.

That's what I always think of when I think about online dating services: in a few years your kid asks you where you two met, and you tell them, "oh, we met on an online dating site!" It's just kind of... weird. One funny meet-up story I know is that my seventh grade Social Studies teacher met his wife while waiting in an emergency room while one of his friends was getting her stomach pumped.
