Heather Heber Percy was quoted as Chairman of the ABIA in The Independent on 3 October 2009
When Oscar Wilde wrote "When you really want love, you will find it waiting for you," he probably didn\'t also mean\'...in your inbox". Yet a striking number of us are now choosing to go online to seek out our proverbial \'other halves\'
.......As Heather Heber Percy, chairman of the Association of British Introduction Agencies (ABIA), says \' We don\'t communicate with each other the way we used to. If you look at the past three decades, you\'ll see that the way society has evolved has changed the way we meet each other for ever.\'
………….How to explain this lovers’ leap? Heber Percy thinks a fundamental shift in attitude has occurred. ‘My theory is that people are fed up with hearing about the recession, and they’re saying: ‘To hell with it, I’m going to get out there and share what’s going on in my life…’ It’s a healthy escapism. |
