Right, and fair enough. But to me that's a clue to the real answer: don't ask a search engine to solve your romantic issues.
- btilly 17y agoThe search engine won't solve them for you, but it likely gives non-specific advice that is better than what most of your friends will manage.
- dstorrs 17y agoThey [the people typing these questions] aren't. They are asking a search engine to connect them to people who have been in similar situations and might have advice.
- telemachos 17y agoPerhaps - but I doubt that this is how the searchers actually view things. I suspect they just think "I want" and head for the Google box. Most of my students work this way now. Even if you're right though, I know the internet well enough to know I would look there for people to give me advice on any of these questions.
