32 steps to finding true love

In my last post, I mentioned that I had tried a number of online dating services. On one of the services I responded to a woman who's profile attracted my attention. A few hours later I received an email which contained 32 questions that she wanted me to answer so she could decide if she wanted to take the next step and meet me. What has happened to just getting on the phone or sitting down over a cup of coffee and talking?

I decided to answer her questions... LOL.
