Friends, it’s time I came clean about something.
For a while now, I’ve been telling all of my friends and family that I’m single. “It’ll happen when it happens,” I’ve shrugged convincingly. However, that’s not exactly the truth about my relationship status.
To be honest, I’ve been in quite a serious relationship for a long time now. And hot damn, the object of my affection is a dreamboat: smart, diverse interests, doesn’t make a mess, liked by all my friends. We’ve been living together for several years, and now we even work together. We’re inseparable.
…Okay, okay, so this “boyfriend” is actually the internet. Yeah, yeah, you got me. Yet the thing is, I think my wireless companion might be better than a boyfriend sometimes (well, a good stand-in at least). Dubious? Here are 7 pieces of evidence that’ll have you rushing off to hug your modem:

Every relationship is a learning experience, so you can only imagine what you’ll learn while spending time with the internet and its nerdy friend, Google. If you ask me, any object that can provide answers to the completely bizarre questions that fill my mind – anything from “Is Joni Mitchell still alive?” to “Do dolphins have hair?” – is worthy of commitment.

It's so quick and easy. It's entertaining and educating. Never lonely but can be totally alone.
I love the internet because it's like one big party with all my friends invited and less than six degrees of separation to everybody else in the entire world, without my house being ruined in the process, and no need for the police to show up (most of the time!).
