"NEW TREND FOR SINGLES: RELATIONSHIP PLANNING"
TALLAHASSEE, FL, OCTOBER 1994.....Planning will receive increasing importance in the 1990s for most working professionals. To balance careers, family demands, and finances, we'll be making use of day planners, financial planners and even recreational planners.

For singles, it's time to add a new one to the list: relationship planners. That's right, we're so organized in many less important aspects of our lives, but how many people take an organized approach to the creation of meaningful relationships?

Like most singles, frustrated with the lack of ingenuity in traditional methods of meeting prospective dates, the idea is intriguing. But you ask yourself, "Who am I going to call for that?" Enter Single Search.

Single Search is a complex computerized matchmaking system that links singles with other singles who possess the traits they most desire in a companion or mate. The difference between Single Search and the traditional "computer dating service" is the sof tware. Created by Robert Bentsen, a computer programmer, with specifications written by his wife, Lisa, a marriage counselor, the one-of-a-kind program is capable of cross indexing matches based on compatibility traits of mind, body and spirit. That mea ns, when the computer finds what one single person is looking for, it cross-checks to see if they have what the "found" person is seeking. When there are enough correlations, the Single Search computer generated a report listing the matches which is sent to the subscriber.

The recipient then has the option of finding out more about the person by ordering a profile which describes the match in detail and includes a method of contact. Members wishing anonymity can opt to have letters forwarded through Single Search or use a voice mail box service. This "reverse match" process eliminates one-sided matches and increases the chance of genuine compatibility.

In addition to offering a much more organized approach to dating and socializing, Single Search is also an invaluable screening process. It helps reduce the anxiety about social and health issues which are vital concerns when single people meet prospecti ve companions or mates for the first time.

And for those on a budget, Single Search National or International is priced right. Registration is $100 for four months. When clients order profiles, they pay $7 for each additional profile. Clients may order as many or as few profiles as they like ea ch month. Enhanced packages are also available, as Lisa Bentsen makes telephone appointments to counsel those with special needs.

Starting in the fall of 1989, it now boasts a membership of singles from coast to coast and growing internationally. Catering to an international audience is a dream of both Lisa and Robert, who met each other through the personal classifieds. Robert, a native of Canada, says the frustration of single people in pursuit of meaningful relationships is one that has no geographic boundaries.

Beside locating promising singles in the USA, Single Search is now helping to close the gap between singles meeting globally. In April of 1993, Single Search licensed a copy of its unique system to East Canada including Quebec City and Montreal. Single Search, East Canada will link Canadian residents with Americans and British subjects expanding the romantic possibilities between nations. In May of 1994 Single Search initiated sales of software to other entrepreneurial match-makers. Twenty-one territo ries sold within the first three months and continued sales are brisk. By January of 1995, Single Search will be able to link national and international singles with others throughout the world and will be the largest national and international network o f services in the world.

So, singles of the world, make one more entry into your day planner: get relationships in order, call Single Search.
