Songs about whose impetus I'd like to know

Van Halen "Why Can't This Be Love"

It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love

To me this song sounds like it's about computer dating. I picture Eddy VH sitting there saying "well, you two match up in categories X, Y and Z...yeah, I'd say it's got what it takes," before the gal politely corrects him. But since this song took place prior to the computer dating era, I doubt if that's what they were talking about.

Is it meant to be a persuasive argument? Is the singer trying to prove the point -- that they are in love -- to a far more skeptical female companion. I wish there was some way to know.
