The concepts involved in the article are confusing attraction with love.

Independently of how arbitrary attraction and love are, there's certainly a difference between them, depth being the divider.

With this in mind, the "falling in love" the author is talking about, which may also apply to the crowds using such service, is the equivalent of a teenager "falling in love" with, say, Tom Cruise.

Although of course, services like this pose a "risk" of falling in such state, there's nothing really "wrong" (in the "damaging" sense of the term) with it.

I don't even think it is attraction, just a person (like most) who craves additional acknowledgement and attention because it is a powerful feeling.

I have seen people go out craving attention and not being satisfied until they have gotten a hit from someone.

To me it is the same impulse that has people meticulously manage a facebook profile so they can get kudos from practical strangers.

People are different, maybe provide a little bit of attention to somebody that have never been loved can go a looong way in my humble opinion.

It is just extremely broad as argument.

I personally feel a lot of attraction to people just because the click well with my thoughts, but I know from experience that this is extremely dangerous and difficult to manage.

Are you sure about that ? How ?

The author seems old enough to be able to distinguish love and attraction...

I believe that different people have different emotion, keep texting with somebody can be extremely powerful can go a loooong way...
