MeetMoi is dating service which tries to make it easier to meet people while on the go. In case you're tired of the traditional online dating approach where you have to sit in front of your computer, then MeetMoi may be the solution for you. The idea is to speed things up, by allowing users to stay mobile while actually being able to contact other members.

When you end up in a restaurant, at the office, in the supermarket, or in a park, all you have to do is update your location via your cell phone, and see who else is there at the same time. Then, just take a look at their profile, and if you wish you can contact them for chat, flirting, and even arranging a rendez-vous right there and then. Since no one's actual location is revealed to others (only the general area), privacy is preserved. For communication between members, standard messaging rates apply, and from what I've seen on their site it's available through AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, ALLTEL, Boost, Dobson, and Nextel.

Registration is free, and can be done either from your computer or your mobile phone. Sounds like it's worth checking out!

Jessica Simpson has been seen dating the football star Tony Romo. However there are rumors of an upcoming marriage. Tony Romo has been spotted by US Weekly looking for rings. Jessica has been quoted to have said she "dreams of being a football wife."

The couple was spotted by the Chicago Sun-Times partying in Las Vegas last weekend. Simpson was seen with a large diamond ring on her left hand, however one of the sources said that she was very intent on hiding it from the cameras.

Both Simpson's and Romo's representative have denied all rumors of marriage. However, Simpson and Romo are not hiding their relationship. Simpson said that she's "in love-big time," in the June issue of Glamour. She also added that Romo loves her for who she is which makes her comfortable with herself. She admits that in her past relationships she was made to feel bad about the fact that she is not the most intellectual. Jessica feels she is better of dating an athlete than musicians, as her past relationships with musicians did not work out.

There is more concern about the relationship from Romo's side. His friends and fellow teammates feel that she takes his attention away from the game, and that this relationship brings too much unwanted media coverage to their game.

In the past most people would meet their future partner in high-school and get married after graduation. That has changed and most people find themselves obligated to finish at least four years of university, with marriage getting put on hold. Now, the common age for marriage is about thirty, if they get married in the first place. However, it is much more difficult to find a date after finishing university because there are no longer parties and other events where you can meet people, which is where online dating comes in.

Dating today is no longer for anti-social "losers." Now dating online takes a lot of the hassle out of trying to meet someone. By dating online you avoid having to spend time in noisy bars among drunks, and it's a lot cheaper. You can also escape your parents and friends hooking you up with their single acquaintances.

The best quality of online dating is that is extremely efficient, you can meet many people very quickly. There is no other way of meeting people so fast. You are more likely to find exactly the right match for you online.

As the saying goes, "there are plenty of fish in the sea" and online dating allows you to pick and choose which fish you would like.

Dating technology is ever expanding. The newest way to grab a date is with the use of your ZIP code. Now, when you go shopping for a house not only can you look at the price and the size of your new home — but you can see how many singles live in your new neighborhood.

Cyberhomes.com is a website which show how many single, married and divorced people live in each ZIP code area throughout the United States. This site can also give you the ratio of males to females per neighborhood, and the level of education of your potential neighbors.

This is a great way for meeting people though it's a bit more expensive to go about it this way. Of course, when you move to your new home you have to get outside and meet the neighbors, or your potential new date.

This site can be used for many other purposes, like finding out about the air quality, commute times, parents can find out about student-teacher ratios and the average grades of children in their new community.

Lindsey Groepper the spokeswoman for cyberhomes.com said, "The real estate market is so upside down now that people are starting to look at aspects of neighborhoods aside from just home values."

If you are in the midst of buying a new house, this may be the service to try out. After all, it's a good idea to date a neighbor… or not.
