Does Quantity Really Lead to Success?
Published on January 21, 2008
In a recent post, as well as in my guide, I argue that it is a good thing to date as many people as possible. A very interesting article at 40s Singleness takes exception with this advice. The author, one Lisa Q, challenges this idea with some questions that point out that simply dating for […]

Keep readingOnline Dating Advice for the Shy
Published on January 8, 2008
One of the local newspapers here in Pittsburgh has an advice column which I discovered today. I’m not a fan of these columns because, in most cases, the columnists answer questions as if everything is overly simple. They also come off as overly-confident to me; as if no detail they are unaware of could possibly […]
Keep readingFirst Email Length: Shorter is Better
Published on December 12, 2007
In my online dating guide, I discussed how first contact should be made. To quickly sum it up: keep the email brief with some type of proof you read the profile.

Keep readingOnline Dating Services with a Different Approach
Published on November 9, 2007
Recently I was reading a TechCrunch article about the online dating services that are taking a different approach. There were two dating sites listed in the article that I was familiar with: Engage.com and GreatBoyFriends.com. I had read about Engage.com a few weeks ago and was interested by the idea. The service provides what might […]
Keep readingOnline Dating from a Woman’s Perspective
Published on October 19, 2007
I am always hesitant to give women advice for online dating. Primarily, this is based on conversations I had with dates during my internet dating days. One great conversation starter was to simply talk about the online experience itself. These conversations revealed how very different a woman’s experiences were from mine, although many were similar […]

What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. ~Aaron Levenstein From time to time, articles are published on the best and worst cities to live in if you are single or, maybe more specifically, dating. This year, of the top forty cities measured, my city, Pittsburgh, came in […]
Keep readingCheap but Great Dates
Published on October 3, 2007
Perhaps the only downside to consistent success dating online (or any dating, really) is that all that courting starts to hit the wallet pretty hard. I eventually settled on meeting at coffee shops which was cheap but lacked creativity and fun. This article has some great ideas for cheap dates without making sacrifices on enjoyability. […]
