Being Boring on A Date: How to Avoid or Correct It
Published on December 5, 2009
A post at Slate.com discusses eight ways to tell whether you’re being boring. While the article wasn’t written for online dating specifically, I think the article is very applicable.

Published on December 3, 2009
Before discussing some good questions to ask on a first date, I wanted to offer several tips on first date conversations in general. First, you should ask your questions with a purpose.

Does your profile get a lot of attention but you’re not getting any contacts from other online daters? I wanted to discuss a few possibilities on why this can happen.

Keep readingBook Review: The Five Love Languages
Published on November 22, 2009
I approach “self-help” books with a great deal of skepticism. Half the time, these books seem do little more than point out the obvious.

Published on November 20, 2009
Recently in the Telegraph there was an article that discussed how women should dress at the bar to meet the most men. They’re findings suggest that a woman should reveal 40% of her skin to meet the most men. Revealing too little leads to far less contact from men (up to 40% less). However, revealing […]
Keep readingDoes Your Dating Profile Photo Say What You Think It Does?
Published on November 19, 2009
A few weeks ago I had mentioned that a study had shown that your appearance in a photo reveals a lot about you. Later I discussed why picking the right photo for your dating profile, even without this study to prove it, is very important. Newsweek covers this same study in far greater detail in […]

Published on November 10, 2009
This is a question shy men often ask due to the dilemma of wanting to be as honest as possible when dating online but, at the same time, not wanting to hurt their chances with women who may reject a man who mentions this trait. I believe the answer to this question really depends on […]

How much does it cost to join eHarmony? eHarmony’s subscription pricing and cost are listed below with promotional codes (coupons) you can use below that. eHarmony is reluctant to give out this information until you’re an official member…and since becoming a member involves a very long personality profile test, I wanted to list them here.

Published on November 5, 2009
Writing a profile that stands out is a difficult task for most of us. When asked to describe ourselves, it turns out most of us sound exactly the same. Whether we’re easy-going or fun-loving, whether we love going out or love cuddling up for a movie in, whether we hate playing games or love the […]
