"Love in the Time of Algorithims"

About a third of single Americans are using online dating sites to find love and companionship. These sites aren't the first technology that's changed the way we date and think about relationships, but they're dramatically changing the game. We explore the history of dating technology, how it works and its broader effect on our social dynamics.

After watching "This American Life" narrated by Lisa Ling on the OWN network in 2011. They covered a site and service called A Foreign Affair. I signed up and talked to a number of women around the world and ended up finding my mate in the Philippines. After 10 months we are almost together because it takes a while for Immigration to process Fiance Visa. I take my hat off to A Foreign Affair service. I did go to the Philippines to spend time with her and family, by the way.
