Today the world has been taken over by technology and the technological advancements can be seen everywhere around us. From centrally air-conditioned buildings with escalators and lifts to something as small as a smart phone, the technology has really changed the way we used to live and the way we used to interact with each other. The boom of social media and the internet has really made things happen for the young guys and gals who loved to socialize and meet new people. In fact, there have been entire dating websites set up with the sole purpose of finding a perfect match for yourself and starting a new relationship whether for the time being or for life.
However, the question is can you find true love relying on technology? And does technology stand a chance against real human emotions and feelings? Well, there are mixed thoughts on that and you will have to dig a bit deeper to determine where exactly do you stand.
Love Calculators And Dating Sites
The role of dating sites in finding new life partners has been described above as well but then there are love calculators as well. Online love calculators claim to have a systematic approach that they use to determine the compatibility score or love score of couples based on their names. Yes, agreed that there are some fields of study that deal with such calculations and such an online calculator can very much rely on that. But how credible it can be is still a big question that needs to be answered. In fact, we’d say that dating sites may perform better in this regard as they are not telling you how compatible you are with a certain person, rather they provide you a platform where you can find new people, get to know them through online chat features of the website, hang out with them if you feel comfortable and then decide after some time whether you two are compatible or not having known each other closely.
If you talk about the working of love calculators, on the other hand, it is all quite simple. No matter which love calculator you choose to use online, they would require you to enter the name of your partner along with your own name and just hit that calculate button. A certain calculation is performed based on a secret formula that only the calculator knows itself and then you are shown the compatibility result. The result is shown as a percentage or a score out of hundred depicting how compatible you two would be and what kind of love life you guys can expect. However, other than that, you don’t get any further details about your compatibility, the similar habits, or the likes and dislikes of each other. So, you are kind of blind sighted as far as those aspects of your love life are concerned.
Can You Trust Love Calculators?
Well, nobody can tell the exact thing here. In fact, it is more of a hit and trial thing where sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Sometimes you get the most accurate results and your partner is exactly what you had always wanted in your life and sometimes it is the complete opposite. Obviously, one name can be associated with so many different people and they all can’t have the exact same personality traits and likes and dislikes. So, how can you know if the compatibility shown is for the person who you want to develop a relationship with.
That being said, it is suggested that you shouldn’t just rely on the result of a love calculator, no matter how credible it is, and get married to somebody right away. Instead, it is a better idea to take these results with a grain of salt. It is good enough if the calculator says that you two are compatible but it should be your first step on to the ladder. You can then start to meet them in person, have dinners and hang out together for some time in order to know each other closely and find out what kind of similarities and differences you two have. Whether it’s the difference of opinion, taste or even the smallest of things around, you should notice each and everything and then evaluate what differences can be tolerated and which of them are of more serious nature. Then, after a thorough evaluation, you can finally get to decide whether you should take your relationship further or not.
The Bottom Line
Yes, it is true that technology can come to our rescue everywhere and it has made our lives a lot easier than before. However, when it comes to your love life, you cannot just rely on a love calculator no matter what others have to say about it and how credible it may be. Instead, you should rely on both technology and common sense to find your perfect partner and start enjoying your life together. Check to see what your favorite love calculator has to say about your relationship with the person you have a crush on and then get to taste it and find out if things are working exactly as predicted by the calculator. Give it some time before making your final decision because, as it happens, sometimes everything goes perfectly in the beginning and it’s only after some time that you start noticing those major differences between you and your so called loved one. So, always practice caution and make the right choice!
