DATING ON DEMAND, ON COMCAST: One of the simple, not-so-guilty pleasures of subscribing to Comcast -- access to the cable system's relatively new Dating On Demand service. It's a fun time-killer of a subsection of Comcast's On Demand channel devoted to televised personal ads. Yep, you can view single men and women sell themselves on-air for a few minutes. If you want to meet them, you have to write down their screen name and look them up via Dating On Demand and Comcast partner HurryDate. Comcast debuted the service nationwide for Valentine's Day, but only now can Boston-area singles take part, thanks to this past weekend's casting calls.
