Dating in the fast lane

You really got my motor running with the article on speed-dating (“You Can Learn a Lot in Just Three Minutes,” Nov. 13). Michelle Maltais’ touched a chord with me, as I too have sampled the Match.com experience. It’s fast-food love. Internet dating forces us to pass judgment on others through a photograph and a small essay. But the truth is that chemistry between a man and a woman can never be written down as a scientific formula. Yes, you can learn a lot in three minutes, but think of all that you miss.
