Group Dating: Another Way To Date Online
Published on February 6, 2010
Something that’s been around for a while (especially in Japan) but that I’ve only heard about recently is something called group dating. This works exactly like it sounds it would: a group of single men go out on a date with an equal number of single women. In many ways, this is something that happens […]
Keep readingMy Boyfriend Has Kept His Online Dating Profile Active
Published on February 4, 2010
Strangely enough, this situation seems to happen more often than I would expect: after finding a serious relationship some men still keep their online dating profile active. The explanations for this are pretty weak but these men always make the argument that there’s some good reason to keep their profile active. If you’re a woman […]
Keep readingSingle on Valentine’s Day
Published on February 3, 2010
As I remember all too well, spending Valentine’s Day alone can be a painful process. Spending it alone for a few years in a row only makes things worse. I wanted to share some thoughts since the date is quickly approaching and I know that there were more than a few years I hated that […]
Keep readingGetting Out of a Bad Date
Published on February 2, 2010
As I discuss in my online dating guide, I think it’s best to be prepared for the worst when going on a first date. By no means did all of my online first dates go bad (many went great) but there were more than a few that I expected to go well that went horribly. […]
Keep readingeHarmony Now More Welcoming to Gay and Lesbian Singles?
Published on February 1, 2010
Last month a California court ruled that eHarmony will have to do more to promote its gay and lesbian dating services. I’ve been reading this story around the internet and it seems that many people are suggesting that eHarmony will now accept gay and lesbian singles into their main site. However, after reading some articles […]

Published on January 31, 2010
Poll: Men More Than Women Get Depressed After Breakup An article discusses poll results from Date.com…results that I found to be rather shocking statistics (I guess since I’m a guy). Apparently, 85 percent of men suffer some form of depression and have difficulty getting back into dating after a break-up. Compared this to only 8 […]

Earlier this month the Spark Networks, which owns several dating services, re-branded two of their largest dating services into a new, single service. Starting on January 15th, American Singles and Date.ca are now a single service called Spark.com. The combination of these two services into one wasn’t the only change: the new service is a […]
Keep readingiPad Looks Great But I Still Love My Kindle
Published on January 27, 2010
With the release of the iPad today, I thought I would write about how much I love the Kindle 2. Everywhere I go online today I see the majority of people blogging or twittering about how the Kindle has all but been replaced. Really, any time Apple releases a new product the hype can get […]
Keep readingOnline Dating: The Business of People Marketing
Published on January 27, 2010
I found myself reading an article recently about professional profile writing and it discussed how Kate Houston, the owner of TrySweetTalk.com, is helping singles find success with well written dating profiles. I’ve worked with Kate some in the past and I think the examples on her site show exactly how good she is at what […]
Keep readingWhat Is the Price of Chemistry.com Subscriptions?
Published on January 25, 2010
How much does it cost to join Chemistry.com? As with some other dating services, Chemistry.com is careful not to reveal their pricing until you’ve signed up and taken the personality test. This can be annoying since the test can take over 30 minutes and after you’ve spent that time finding out you can’t afford the […]
Keep readingAvoid Complaining on First Dates
Published on January 23, 2010
I was recently talking to a woman who decided to end an online relationship after the first date because her date had complained for much of the dinner. This got me thinking about complaining in general and how as people we are so drawn to doing so. Even when this woman came to me to […]
Keep readingRemembering to Share the Conversation
Published on January 20, 2010
In my last post, I discussed ways to break your way into the conversation even if your date doesn’t ask you any questions. Today, I wanted to discuss this same issue but from the other side: remembering to share the conversation. Sometimes people are simply too excited on a date and the result is that […]
