Choose chemistry, Internet, surveys and electronical dating openers...

Is social networking relying too heavily on the Internet’s squeaky clean analytical data produced by excel spreadsheets and accounting? Or, does this approach up your chances of “good chemistry” for lasting relationships? That’s what Chemistry.com aims to do. The new website, takes the goals of eHarmony and PerfectMatch.com (owns Chemistry.com) a step further.

The site fosters "chemistry," while matching dating partners, and seeks to build loving relationships through its core foundations - compatibility and chemistry. While other matchmaker sites may help you find out if you're compatible, Chemistry.com says its system is based on years of research into human attraction and successful relationships, and therefore is designed to help you find both of these essential elements for partnerships.

According to a recent New York Times article by David Leonhardt on these online dating sites – “… they move into the still murky science of personalities. PerfectMatch deems some traits, like energy level and optimism, important for a couple to share, so that they don't clash over how to lead their lives. But with others — flexibility, perfectionism, emotion — a marriage can benefit from difference…”

The scientific approach might be the thing to do, and has the potential to make a match anywhere. What are your thoughts on online dating? Does this really work? Do people have any opportunity to meet their true love using this method? Is this changing how we perceive love in the first place?
