“Don’t wait for the love of your life. Find him on …”

A great outdoor guerrilla campaign by Match.com, displayed in Barcelona.

Not that I endorse digital dating(dude, analogue is the way to go), but I’m so in love with this advertisement that I could cry.

The idea is absolutely mindblowing to the fantasy enthusiast in me- “Once upon a time, in a land beautiful and far away…”

Although they could have done a much better job with making the princess look more princessy and fairy-tale-ish, and perhaps make the bed look much better by taking an interior design course or two, it’s still a mindblowing concept.

Ahhhh! Absolutely beautiful.

    A little morbid, don’t you think? My friend subscribed to match.com a while back: $250, 2 years, and three breakups later, he is still where he is, with less hair, and a thinner walet. Yes analog is the way to go. :)

    Nat, really! That’s cool! I had no idea it actually worked.

    Abdelstar, I don’t think it has to do with desprateness; people are different, with different means of communication, and different means of attraction.

    Back way when, During my youthful and indiscretionary days, I did try this blind dating game, it didn’t work for me but I’m sure that some people were pleased with the service.
