I thought this particularly relevant to this blog. Although, I 'm sure XKCD had higher-minded ideals like privacy rights, net neutrality, transparency and choice. Ah well.

You pass, feel longing, and meet eyes. You turn, smile...but don’t say anything! On CL you post a description, hope that your love sees it, responds, meets you, and marries you. An ideal system…post a vague enough description and flocks will respond, meet me, and buy me ponies. The idea? I will pick someone for a missed connection every week. Eye contact, a verbal exchange isn't needed. I will simply describe them on CL. I plan to provide the responses for my reader(s).
