Stories of online disaster dates
By Joseph Hong
The Internet provides the perfect medium for fantasy. Alone at the computer, you can log on to a chat room and instantly become anyone you (or others) want. On the other end, you imagine youre hooking up with a Keanu Reeves or a Sung Hi Lee look-alike. Some of us are looking for love, and others seek friendships or maybe just a cyber one-night stand.
It can be a risky affair (pun intended). According to some psychologists, rarely does online chemistry transfer to old-fashioned love. Most online dates end in disappointment, despite, or because of, the expectation of love, romance, or sex. AsianAvenue.com, one of the most popular Asian American cyber meeting places, polled 21,489 of its 1,324,000 members and found only nine percent had successfully dated another member.
