A good friend of mine has a very nifty catch phrase: Google is your friend. Now, she generally uses this when she’s answering what she perceives to be a stupid question. In fact, the more I think about it, it’s kind of rude. But Google is in fact, your friend. Especially when it comes to dating somebody new.
