How can you tell if a man you are talking to at an online dating site is married? A reader recently contacted me about an issue she was having with a guy she was dating. Our conversation reminded me that married men dating online isn’t a problem that all women are considering when looking at dating issues.
This is something I have talked about in the past when I wrote about watching out for online dating scams, but it ...

Especially when the divorce was caused by the other person cheating? Here is the email that was sent to me (I’ve changed some details to protect her identity):

Now the weather is improving and more hours of daylight are on the on the way, the opportunities for outdoor dates are endless.
In the colder, wetter months of winter, the decision about where to meet for a first date can be challenging. Sure, there’s still the option of a coffee shop but somehow ...

I wanted to talk a little bit about this, first by looking at an email from a man wondering how he should handle this type of situation:

With Valentine’s Day arriving tomorrow, there will be a lot of statistics and other talk being thrown around the internet in regards to dating. For many of the dating services, this time represents a part of their peak season so a lot of attention is paid to online dating. For me, in the last week alone I’ve been contacted by a half-dozen companies looking to have their infographic posted here.
I actually like infographics but the problem I run into ...

For some reason, I’ve never written a review of Match.com here…even after all the years that I’ve been running this website. I guess this is odd because I actually met the woman I married using Match.com!
At any rate, I felt like it was time to give my review of Match.com. I’ll admit, I have a bias for the service since I had success with it, but I would argue I have a favorable bias for a good ...

I recently had a reader contact me to let me know that he was giving up on trying to use online dating. He listed several things that bothered him but a big part of his argument was this:
Online dating should come naturally and if it doesn’t come naturally for me, then I guess I shouldn’t be using it. Online dating is hard and that’s a problem…right?
I think the idea that online dating should come easy is a common misperception. ...

I have never used this approach but it sounded interesting to me and I wanted to share it here. If you find yourself tiring of the traditional email a woman, wait,
