He wasn't desperate, per se, but he was eager.
Click here to find your soulmate!
James clicked the link and it redirected him to another colorful site.
Cupid's Arrow. Bringing together soulmates since 1995.
Sirius, who was hovering over James's shoulder, emitted an impressed whistle.
"Think this'll work?"
James nodded confidently, clicking the "start" button.

What is your ideal date?
James had no qualms about that.
I want to take her wherever she wants and pay for the expenses. I would prefer a sunset walk or a date at a fancy restaurant. but I don't want to force her to do anything against her will. A woman has her own free will.
James smiled with satisfaction. Sirius rolled his eyes.
"That's a pretty generic answer," he said.
"Shut up," James snapped, looking intently at the screen.
What's your take on women's rights?
"Are they even allowed to ask that?"
"Shut up, Sirius."
Sirius pretended to be wounded, but James ignored him.
I believe women are equal to men, so they have the same rights as men. They can vote, run for office, everything men can do.
"Are you a feminist, mate?"
"Quiet, Sirius."
"Finally, where do you live? City, country.
James typed in London, England and clicked Find Your Soulmate!
The next screen asked for his email and phone number, which he typed in quickly before hitting Submit.
Congratulations! We'll email or call you when we locate your soulmate.
James sighed, leaned back and stretched. Sirius suddenly guffawed.
"What's so funny?"
"What if your lucky chick is some stuck-up, ugly bitch?" Sirius laughed.
"Shut your face."
A sharp ping echoed from James's computer about an hour later. He jumped to his feet.
One new email.
The sender was the website. With bated breath, he opened the email.
Congratulations! Your soulmate is Lily Evans. -RL
James grinned. He opened the file annd saw her answers to the same questions.
She sounded like a decent person.
A smile split James's face in half.
A text arrived on Sirius's phone; a message from Remus. I hope I didn't give away my identity. I think they're perfect for each other.
You're fine, replied Sirius.
"I also need to be a little more careful about what I say on the email. I hope he doesn't recognize the initials.
He won't. He has a sappy look on his face, so I'd say you're safe.
