Tom however wants to make it clear to whomever his date that this is purely an academic exercise. Unfortunately for Tom, Norman bring's Tom's computer date over to the apartment on a day Tom is home sick with a cold. Diane Kirby, Tom's computer match, actually works for the computer dating company and is a fervent believer in the powers of her computer. It's love at first sight between Diane and Eddie, and Diane is attracted to Tom, but Diane is not Tom's type. Beyond that, Tom just wanted to talk to Diane solely for the story anyway. The wise Mrs. Livingston thinks she knows what went wrong: Tom's answers for the computer were all with Eddie's welfare in mind. This is proven true when, as a lark, Diane allows Eddie to answer the computer dating questions and insert it into the computer. Diane was not expecting any match to appear, however one match came back: her. This exercise made Diane herself realize that when she answered the questions, she was projecting her own strong want to be a mother. Written by Huggo See less
