Are you one of the many flocking to online dating services? If you are looking for the perfect match, online dating services seem to be the way in the 21st century for some people, even college students.

Whether you are looking for a hook up, relationship or true love, itcan all be found online. There are many places to look for a match, like the advertised eHarmony.com where people claim they have found their perfect match.

Yet, the popular online dating services for college students such as collegeluv.com and okcupid.com offer a free matching service, which attracts students to those sites.

Often the websites offer a test that asks questions pertaining to personality, looks, likes and dislikes to assist in setting up a personal profile available to other match seekers.

Otherwise, an information sheet is submitted that also includes information on personality and dislikes that can be matched up with a lucky match. Then there is the hope of a relationship being sparked after finding a compatible match. Once matched with someone, there is the option of communicating with them.

Although some college stu- dents have tried to find their perfect matches online, it has been observed that Cabrini students find their relationships in other ways.

Janene Gibbons, a freshman English/communications major, said, “It could be a bad thing, but it could also work. I’m not totally against it. I’ve had other friends do it. I need people from my surroundings though.”

Many Cabrini students believe online dating to be mainly something adults would do.

Matt Triboletti, a sophomore exercise science major, said, “It’s more of an adult thing. You usually only have people in their 40s doing that. Plus, you could meet a lot of weird people.”
