As I sit here watching a marathon of "Millionare Matchmaker", it really got me thinking. These days, traditional forms of dating sure are becoming extinct. Extremely wealthy men who can't find love are resulting to hiring this crazy woman in LA to find them "the one". What happened to the days of finding love through fate, destiny and pure serendipity? If there really is that one person you're meant to meet, why force love by hiring someone to speed along the process? Impatience and loneliness could have something to do with it I suppose, but if you pursue this yourself, what happens if you miss out on the real way you are supposed to meet that one person? I just think the whole idea is crazy.

Then there is the trendiest type of finding love... online matchmaking, through sites such as match.com and eharmony.com. My best friend recently met someone through one of those websites and she has never been happier, which I think is phenomenal. I just wonder if you're interfering with fate by searching through single people's profiles and literally choosing someone you want to talk to and possibly date. It all seems a little sketchy to me, but considering I am single, I am not judging these trendy ways of finding love. I am just a little bit traditional when it comes to certain things and I love reading stories about people who are happily in love and they met on an airplane or in line at Starbucks... ha! You may call me a hopeless romantic, but I don't care. I like to follow trends, but usually only when it comes to fashion. I swear, someday I will sit here and share with you all the story of how I met "the one" and it won't be as simple as "we met online" or "I hired a matchmaker". It will be a long enough story to devote an entire blog entry to. Yes, I dream big. And I believe in miracles :) xo
