W: The advertisement said Dream Dates has matched up thousands of singles the world over! M: Unbelievable! They must be exaggerating the figure!

The information and specifications will be entered in a large computer database. M: A computer to decide your best date? That's really ridiculous! W: Look, it promises: Dream Dates provides expert dating service and a place for singles to meet. We'll introduce you to the person uniquely qualified to be your partner. M: Sheer slogans! Not reliable! W: It says you can enroll in a free trial membership! M: I won't do it even they pay me for that! W: Well, we don't have to believe this. Maybe I can tell John, and see whether he'd like to try it.
