Die-hard fans of "Star Trek" now have their own online dating service so they can love long and prosper.

Known as Trek Passions, the Internet site offers the comfort of a common interest without having to wade through huge dating pools, the Christian Science Monitor reported Friday.

A click on trekpassions.com finds a homepage featuring a milk-white alien with an enormous head with the disclaimer: Xenophobia Strictly Prohibited.

Trekpassions is one of more than 100 niche sites launched several years ago under the umbrella of a larger service called Passions Network, the newspaper said.

It received a boost last March when talk show host Conan O'Brien quipped "The fans say the dating Web site is going great and any month now they hope a girl will join."

Passions Network President Michael Carter told the Monitor the company doesn't keep track of gender but an informal count indicates more than a quarter of the users are women.

One Web surfer, identified only as "S," told the Monitor, he found the Star Trek site after Googling "geek" and "nerd" and "dating."

Have you ever met and/or dated someone through the internet? How did it go?

NO, that stuff is just creepy. If you are going to yahoo chatrooms looking for some love odds are they will be a man or that guy from dateline. As for the dating sites it would probably be the same thing minus the dateline guy.
