Can we find true love through the computer? The kind that penetrates our souls and changes our lives utterly? Helen Fisher thinks we can. The Rutgers University professor says that falling in love can be simply a matter of meeting a person who stimulates the right neurons. “There will always be magic to love”, fisher says. “But the complex brain-body network that produces the elation, craving, and obsessive thinking associated with romantic love is just waiting to triggered.” One U.S. company has used her research to launch a new match-making site called Chemistry.com. Users respond to a set of questions Fisher designed to capture their inner selves. (“Do you ever find yourself counting things?” Or “ Do you think it’s important to do the right thing, even if it hurts others?”) Their responses are then crunched and matched with other user’s – perhaps with pyrotechnic results. Chemistry.com is just the latest among Internet dating services, like Perfect-Match, TRUE, and the Christianoriented eHarmony, claiming to have harnessed the science of compatibility. Their lengthy questionnaires are only a starting point, of course. Dating – and falling in love – remain activities best done in person.
