In highschool my friend wrote a mIRC script that waited in our city's DALnet channel for someone to announce they were *\f\(our city), and would DM them hello, start a conversation and if they responded the script would announce "babyfaceangel16 is female".

He'd turn it up and go play N64, and occasionally his computer would announce he's in a conversation with a girl so he'd drop the controller and pick up the conversation.

The dating game has always been a lot like fishing. Did he ever get a real date this way?
Yes, and if I remember correctly at least one girlfriend for a few months
Did he remember to kill the script after they started dating?
Maybe that's why it only lasted few months
