This paper asks:

When a user sets a search filter (e.g., “height > 5’10”,” “non-smoker,” “income > $75k”), they are not merely sorting data; they are . In literary terms, this is akin to Oulipo’s potential literature —the rule generates the story.

Thus, dramatic irony (where the audience knows more than the characters) now works differently: the algorithm knows the categories, but the lovers only gradually discover whether those categories actually predict compatibility.

Critics argue that searching categories destroy serendipity—the joyful accident that drives romantic plots. We counter that search categories merely . In an analog world, surprise occurred at the point of meeting. In a digital world, surprise occurs after matching, when the categories are revealed to be incomplete or misleading.

For centuries, romantic storylines followed a predictable architecture: chance encounter, obstacle, revelation, union. The obstacle was typically external (class, family, war) or internal (pride, prejudice). In the 21st century, the primary mediator of romantic beginnings is no longer fate or social introduction but the search query. Apps like Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble are, at their core, database interfaces. Users search within categories (age, location, education, “likes dogs,” “political affiliation”) to generate a subset of potential co-protagonists.
