Boy, if I could only get Oldest into this program. Oldest has... questionable... taste in men sometimes, and seems to be at a loss for how to meet decent people to date and hopefully marry.
"Great Expectations" might be able to help her; they're like a combination of an online dating service and an real, physical, business -- they've got a website but also buildings where offices are actually located, which I kind of like because I like to think that things will continue to exist in the real world, not just online.
But more important is that Great Expectations isn't a "matchmaker," like many sites are. They set up twice-monthly member events where singles who have joined up go to mix with each other, meeting in person, in the community. So the members are meeting people, in person, who live in their area.
And not just any people: Great Expectations screens members and does background checks, so they'll weed out the people nobody would want to meet. Photographs and videos are all kept current, so that a member could see what the potential date looks and acts like now, not five years ago.
It all sounds good to me -- so I probably will mention it to Oldest, so that she can find a better way to meet people than hanging out in... where is it young people hang out nowadays? The bowling alley? I don't even know.
