剛剛..肥g妮雅同學問我英文寫了嗎? 我重複聽了不下20次 但是...我古鉤了20秒 結果...... RUSTY DORNIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): A bit nervous, Faith Sedline (ph) waited for her date to show up, a man she'd only met online. FAITH SEDLINE: Hi, nice to meet you. MATT: Nice to meet you too. DORNIN: Internet dating services are booming. Match.com reports that in the two months following the September 11th attacks, membership went up 70 percent. Love experts say that's not surprising in times of uncertainty. PEPPER SCHWARTZ, SOCIOLOGIST: And even if it doesn't happen to you, it reminds you that you don't even want to watch that news without your special someone on the side of you. So I believe that the services have been used more. DORNIN: Services that cater to just about every heart's desire. Want someone over 50? Their senior friend finder. How about a churchgoing friend? For Jewish singles, there's jdate.com, and for the rest, matchmaker match.com and kiss.com and the list goes on. Doug Wyllie, began scrolling for "the one" in September. It was soon obvious to him that more men than women were hitting their keyboards for a date, nothing like a little competition. DOUG WYLLIE, ONLINE BACHELOR: I don't make a lot of money, and I don't have any power per se. So, that makes it very tricky. But it's fun. You know, it's fun to meet new people. DORNIN (on camera): Men still outnumber women, because for many women, looking for Mr. Right on the Internet is just a little scary. But Sedline says after her experiences, the greatest danger in online dating is getting carpal tunnel syndrome. FAITH SEDLINE, ONLINE BACHELORETTE: You don't know whose going to walk up and you're going "oh, what did I just do? Why am I doing this?" But that fades pretty quickly. DORNIN: And how about the stigma of using "the classifieds?" SEDLINE: When people hear that I cop up to online dating, they go, their first thought is "oh, you can't get a date." And you know, I just thought it would be fun and you get to meet a lot of people. DORNIN: So Faith met Matt and had lunch. Well, that was that. But she ended up meeting someone else online. For Doug Wyllie the hunt continues in hopes that the woman on the screen will match the woman of his dreams. 我懶得整理 誰來告訴我英文考啥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? --
