Although Paris is often considered the city of romance， close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet，singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes， brown hair，and is 1.8 meters tall，or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.
At this Paris location，single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door，they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道).
With purple baskets in hand， shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay， they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish（美化）one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket， on the other hand，is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition， what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These ways it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.

Getting a new apartment and roommate can mean inviting a stranger in to learn exactly what you look like in the morning before a shower, how you pay your bills, and which friends you have over. Although Craigslist can be a great place to find just about anything and everything you could want, unfortunately even looking for a roommate on Craigslist could lead to a very negative experience if one is not careful. Here are some tips for finding a roommate so you can share your apartment with less stress and more enjoyment.
*Be careful about having your best friend as a roommate – things always change when you live with someone.
* Consider posting or responding to an online roommate advertisement - it's the easiest way to interact with a lot of possible roommates.
*Search early - you want to pick a roommate who you want to live with, not settle for someone you aren't comfortable with because you ran out of time.
*Ask around - other than using online resources, word of mouth can help turn up new roommate prospects.
*Be clear about what you do and do not want - but also be open to someone different from you.
*Have fun with the process - you may end up meeting new people even when they DON'T become your roommate.
*Use your instincts（直觉） - if you don't feel comfortable with someone, DON'T live with them.
*Be organized - prepare a list of everything you want to know about how someone lives so you will know if they will be a compatible roommate. Establish an idea of your desired roommate. You should begin by figuring out any specifics about your roommate. Do you want only males or females? Is there a specific age or a range of ages you prefer? You should know what you are looking for before you begin to look.
