Computer Dating
Central Control is a new service that tells you who is your ideal date, and assigns you to make contact.
Who is your ideal date? You know there is such a person, but making contact is something else.
Central Control, combining advanced techniques of psychological measurement and computer technology, will put you in touch with the person who will be your perfect date.
In fact, if you will fill out our questionnaire and send your remittance of $3,we will provide the names of five persons.Each of
these five will be perfectly matched with you in interests, outlook and background.
