Time and again, one encounters bouts of insecurity where on seeks succor in instruments that serve as an assurance of love. In vain do they seek succor in an imitation of an embrace of purported love, however superficial it be.

A well known and oft sighted application on the web, Love Calculator is a legendary application. For years and years it has been on the web and any internet user is sure to have encountered it. Not unlike the Hamster Dance forward and the dancing baby forwards, the Love Calculator is one of those annoying web applications that have been forwarded time and again. It is one of those mails that has flooded mailboxes and spread worldwide.

Explanations galore have been proffered by the owners of such websites to establish their authenticity. Here is what the makers of the application say.

A name can tell a lot about the person named. Names are not randomly chosen: they all have a meaning. Doctor Love knew this so he made another great invention just for the lonely you!

More often than not, one aches to know whether a relationship with someone is worth it. Therefore Doctor Love himself designed this great machine for you. The quotient of success with respect to the relationship between two people can be calculated. A sure shot way of knowing whether the relationship is going to work for you indeed.

Of course, in a moment of boredom, one would access the downloadable version of the Love Calculator. Two text boxes, an enter button ... thats the simplicity of it all. The names chosen are entered in the boxes and submitted. A number or rather, a percentage of what is purported to be the love quotient that the former name has for the latter name is displayed. This supposedly is a reflection of romantic plausibility between the two names.

Not at all a bad attempt, one would dismiss in brevity. Closed and narrow though the approach and definition of love is here, there is many a love struck person who has used this. "Dr. Love" holds a rather traditional conception of the idea of love.

One is not of the genius of Dr. love. A more complex approach taking in more details and then computing based on a similar formula would provide for more brevity. It would be a substantial improvement. Many such Love Calculators have mushroomed through the netscape.

Whether it be a friend who loves you in secret or checking and assuring oneself that a love is faithful and shall remain, here is a chance to put the love to test. Extra details like their date birth, etc might be of handy in refining the figure to a more sophisticated portrayal of their love for you. These of course result in the accurate portrayal of your love, as the website claims. No harm trying, we suppose.
