It's not often that I get an email advising me that an online dating site is closing its doors. And yet, earlier today, I received this:

After much consideration we have decided to end the LoveHappens service. You may continue to use LoveHappens until May 31, 2008. After May 31, 2008 you will no longer have access to LoveHappens. We hope you enjoyed using LoveHappens as much as we enjoyed making it for you and we wish you love and success in the future.

I had to go log into the site to remind myself which site it was; I'd joined in 2004 for some dating quizzes, but never actually met anyone from the site, even though the concept was interesting. I think because, at the time, it was a pay-per-use site, and I preferred sites like Lavalife where only the person contacting me had to pay. Free dating sites like Plenty of Fish weren't around in full swing then.

So R.I.P LoveHappens. Thanks for the winks and giggles.
