"Let us consider a group A of N men and a group B of M woman. In reality the ratio ν = M/N will slightly exceed unity. The man, i, has a wish-list, that is to say he evaluates all the women in group B and ranks them into a preference order. He will prefer, of course, the number one on his list, but that woman may not have reciprocal intentions. Our task is to find a best global arrangement in which the total “happiness” is optimal. This calls for a cost function which we shall refer to as the Hamiltonian."
Also, love is like OCD and speed dating tells us that people judge others as a whole and not for the individual characteristics they claim to be looking for in a mate.
There is also a great roundup of geeky/gamer/off-the-wall/interesting valentine's cards 'n' things over here at waxy.
