Back to the Way It Used to Be

I just heard a commercial for a dating service advertising themselves as the on-line dating service without the on-line.

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't that the way dating always worked before the internet - Pick up a phone, ask someone out, and then actually physically meet someplace? What's the new invention here?

To my mind, physically meeting remains the best way to really get to know someone.  After all who knows what lurks behind an internet persona?

It saddens me to think that perhaps in this information technology age the idea of direct personal interaction has become a foreign concept.
