Good point...
There's also no reason why all of these have to be for romantic relationships -- babblers could use it to find others with similar interests to converse with via e-mail, meet at a specified time on PBO, etc. I don't think all of us are ready, or able to pursue an intimate relationship at this time, but there are probably quite a few who would be open to friendship. Whoever decides to do this (if they do) could have users specify what type of relationship they are looking for & sort accordingly.
This could also be an extension of the profile idea (although it would be more difficult if you decide to have external profiles - e.g. Yahoo).
