by Tony G. Rocco The Main Event: Dating When we’ve made a choice (and been chosen) through whatever matchmaking methodology we’ve employed, we are ready to venture out on the extended test drive called Dating. This is when we take a long look at the merchandise, evaluate the handling, the responsiveness to our needs, the reliability, and, of course, the ease of maintenance.

Is Internet Prince Charming a Reality or Fairy Tale?
