Unmatched Billie Jean Diersen

Happily married with a fun and flourishing career writing features for a local daily and dispensing sage yet savvy advice in her syndicated column, Roxanne Browne convinces her husband of fourteen years to join an Internet matching service to test claims that it can create lasting relationships using its research based compatibility matrix.     Working from the assertion that the system pairs users based on common values and other qualities of winning relationships Roxanne reasons that if it works, she and Walker will be matched immediately. When to her surprise they are not, she attributes it to flaws in the system and sets out to find them.     Over time,  however,  the normally confident and composed Roxanne starts to crack as she comes to suspect that it's not the system but her and Walker's relationship that's faulty. Anxious to know for sure,  she delves deeper only to unearth an issue she thought had been resolved long ago...Quirky and contemporary, UNMATCHED ponders themes like compatibility and commitment, and takes a lighthearted look at the choices people make and the needs and emotions that drive them.
