THE MISSING LINK | Cupid's arrow finds its mark -- in cyberspace

If your "bar scene" is your keyboard and monitor, and your friends 
still make fun of you for it, tell them to go reboot themselves! 
Mouse clicking can get your love life clicking, according to a 
British psychologist. He says cybercourting can really lead to true 
love because each person already knows the other pretty well before 
they meet face-to-face. That makes the transition from the chat 
room to the living room much easier and brings more depth to the 
relationship table. Another advantage to virtual mackin'? The psych 
says guys are more emotionally honest and open when they're online 
while women are more overtly sexual. Basically, guys and gals act 
abnormally honest over the Net.
