Internet dating has inserted itself into mainstream culture. It is
convenient, widely accessible, and reasonably easy, even for the
somewhat less computer adept. Yet despite its widespread appeal, it
has a relatively low success rate. This study examines not only why
people use the internet, but how various types of people begin
their exploration with inherent assumptions of the outcomes.
Moreover, certain character types may be a predictor of those
outcomes. Using the narrative structure of Michael Ende's "Never
Ending Story, this study's author demonstrates how Internet dating
participants all enter the process with the same hopeful outcome.
However, participants expectations and use of the tool itself
ultimately impacts the degree of success. Similar to Bastian the
boy in Ende's novel, Internet daters become part of the story they
create and have to make choices along their path. Each has to
choose deliberately to either bring their romantic hopes back into
the non-virtual world or get lost in the fantasy of cyberspace.
