gaia soulmates Looking for love in all the wrong places? Fear not, dateless one. Cupid is striking the warrior pose and launching love arrows from his laptop this Valentine’s Day.

New cyberdating spot Gaia Soulmates aims to hook people up with a more meaningful matchmaking service, connecting singles with shared environmentally and socially conscious values.

Soulmates offers an alternative to typical web-based cattle calls with a profile screening process that moves beyond height, salary and eye color. Members divulge how they feed their soul, favorite quotes and heavier probes, such as “what are the most important lessons you’ve learned from past relationships?”

Still skeptical? Sure, the single elephant in the room is shouting, “If these cyber chumps are really that great, why do they need the Internet to get a date?” Well, just because a person is centered, kind-hearted, and smart, does not guarantee mack daddy-ness.

Gaia Community director Siona van Dijk explains that conscious singles need the right place to look for Mr. or Ms. Right. “When it comes to manifesting the love of your life, you can do all the inner psychological work that you want, but at some point you need to go out and say, ‘I’m available; I’m looking for my match.’ But where do you go? There are not necessarily new age bars.” Another positive to cyberdating is the avoidance of awkward mixed messages and social blunders — like that time you hit on your yoga instructor’s husband.
