Digital Dating Deuce.
Maybe I'm finding this online dating thing difficult because the whole first step of initial physical attraction is removed. There is no glance across a crowded room. No first smile or handshake or good-God-will-you-take-a-look-at-those ti...ah...never mind.
It's kinda like stepping onto a stopped escalator. Sure you can get yourself to the top just fine, but those first few steps always seem a little awkward and off balance.
Maybe I need some good digital pick up lines. Have any suggestions?

Trust me, I'm user friendly.
I'll output gibberish as you tap my keypad.

"Nice set of floppies!"
"I'd love to play on your laptop."
"Your homepage or mine?"

"You can turn my software into hardware"

I have never had any luck with those. And I understand what you're saying. That first glance can be so much fun!!!
