I feel lucky to have found my significant other in college. I am not sure how I would navigate the dating scene out in the real world and can imagine meeting someone worth giving a second thought can be quite the challenge in your late twenties. The husband and I technically met online back in 2002. While chatting with a fellow Intro to Business classmate on AIM, Kevin wandered over into his room and somehow took over the keyboard. The conversation continued via AIM when Kevin returned to his room, leading to us eventually meeting for lunch at the Winthop food court.

I have often wondered if Kevin and I would be deemed "compatible" or matched together on online dating sites. We kind of listen to the same music, we sometimes eat the same food, but how do you define compatibility? We work well together as a couple now, but I would not have predicted we were meant to be when we first met. We probably weren't all that compatible at the beginning and didn't actually start dating seriously until nearly two years after we met. We knew we cared about each other, though, and knew we had to at least give a relationship a try. Almost 10 years later, we are getting ready to celebrate our 5th wedding Anniversary. Maybe AIM should use us in a testimonial commercial for successfully matching us together!
The method of matching complete strangers together based on how they answer certain questions intrigues me. I think it would be interesting for Kevin and I to each create a profile on a dating website to see if our paths would cross and who they say we are compatible with. On second thought, I would hate for Kevin to find a new lady who will cook for him!
