5031B:This girl I’ve been chatting with forthe past couple of months. She’s really      
    cool and she’s driving over here this weekend.                                      
5032A:Wait a minute, you mean you met her online?                                       
5033B:Yeah! I signed up for a website called match. and it is great!You fill in all     
    your details and preferences, like if you are a smoker or if you have any pets.     
    Then you find people that have similar characteristics and you can email them or    
    chat.                                                                               
5034A:That is kind of weird! What if she is a psycho or something like that?            
5035B:It’s the same as meeting people anywhere and dating them! I am just tired of      
    going to bars or being set up for dates by my friends! I think this is a really     
    cool alternative, especially if you are a bit shy.                                  
5036A: I guess it does seem logical. I’ll have to check it out!
