Keep readingDating Advice Can Be Depressing
Published on February 12, 2010

Keep readingDetermining the Age Range for Dating
Published on February 8, 2010
I found an interesting article that proposes a math equation for suggesting the age of people you should be willing to date.

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 […]
