The commercial for Match.com just came on. The guy was saying that the other guy got the girl "before I could make the conversion". Is this conversion term something you are familiar with?

My best guess, and I may be way off, is that he's trying to use a football analogy, like converting for the extra point?
Or maybe it was a situation like George had in that episode of Seinfeld where he converted to Latvian Orthodoxy.

I think the premise is that he was on another service so the other guy got the girl before he could convert from the inferior service to the superior Match.com.

A conversion in football could be the extra point (or extra two points) after touchdown, but it also refers to converting a 3rd down to a 1st if you make the yardage necessary. So, if you're 3rd and 5, and you make the 5 yards for a 1st down, that's a conversion.
So, in this case, the guy is saying he couldn't make the conversion, or he couldn't get the 1st down, which would be a date (or second date, or whatever).

Or maybe it was a situation like George had in that episode of Seinfeld where he converted to Latvian Orthodoxy. Was totally thinking that  But - in that commercial I think he talks about using another a dating site and a girl he liked was using Match.com and found a boyfriend he switched / "converted" over to Match.com. Because, Match "works that fast and well" That's what I remember... |

Is Match.com a good site to meet someone? I used a religious based site and found a really gentle, kind guy. And he's tall! (well taller than I am so that makes me happy ) |
