"So online dating doesn&amp;#x27;t usually appeal to me, but I kind of like the simplicity of this new website Coffee Meets Bagel. (I also like coffee. And bagels.) TechCrunch reports that every day at noon, CMB matches you with someone in your Facebook network--a friend of a friend-whom you haven&amp;#x27;t met before. You can click &amp;quot;like&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;pass.&amp;quot; If you &amp;quot;like,&amp;quot; you&amp;#x27;re routed to each other via text message and hooked up with free dating swag via CMB. Sweet, right? It sounds like one of the cool things about the New York-based Coffee Meets Bagel is its discretion. Unlike OK Cupid, everyone and her mom isn&amp;#x27;t on it, and it doesn&amp;#x27;t advertise on Facebook, although you do use the Zuckerbergian tool to connect. And another thing that I love is it totally justifies all the Facebook stalking we&amp;#x27;ve all done over the years. Maybe you can actually go out with that cute acquaintance you met at that party one time and vehemently creeped on at your computer after. On the down side, boy, some of those &amp;quot;passes&amp;quot; could make for awkward real-life encounters. Also, since this is random, the ultimate dreaded event could come to pass: the Being Paired Up With Someone You Broke Up With On A Dating Site. You never know. Would you take a gamble and sign up for Coffee Meets Bagel? Should I do it and tell you how it goes? Do you have a bagel to give me? I&amp;#x27;m starvinggggg.
