Dealing with Email Responses That Show Little Interest

Posted by:

A reader recently wrote in to ask about dating conversations where the person you are talking with responds but with little or no apparent interest:

If asked a question I answer the question plus give some background and ask another ...

eHarmony Free Communication Weekend, July 2nd – 5th 2010

Posted by:

eHarmony’s next free weekend is July 2nd until July 5th 2010. If you are new to eHarmony, during the eHarmony Free Communication Weekends you can communicate with all of your matches absolutely FREE. While eHarmony almost always refers to these events as weekends, there are actually 4 days of free communication for you to take advantage of (so it is more of a free long-weekend).

In my article on writing first emails using online dating, I discuss what should and should not be in your emails. I wanted to expand on that topic to include a pattern I’ve seen recently: apologizing or making excuses when contacting other singles.

The Loneliest Days of the Week

Posted by:

When I first started providing dating advice, I had assumed that I would have more visitors to my site on the weekends. My thinking was that people would be reminded of being single the most on the weekends and therefore would be looking to solve that problem then. Well, that theory turned out to be incorrect – at least as far as my site statistics are concerned. For as long as I’ve been tracking the traffic to my site I ...

Posted by:


Photo by ground.zero

According to a new Match.com commercial I’ve been seeing lately, 1 in 5 relationships are now started through online dating services. Still, even with that fact, there are a large number of singles who believe that online dating does not work, or at least not for them. With that in mind, I wanted to post a ...

What Should I Include in My Dating Profile?

Posted by:

Through this blog, from time to time I find myself reviewing profiles. One of the most common problems I see is the tendency for people to share a little too much, a little too fast. Often the extra details are confusing but other times they are damaging. In either case, the profile isn’t strengthened by it. I wanted to briefly discuss the idea of intentionally being aware of what you are revealing about yourself in your dating profile.

Interesting Videos on Online Dating and Relationships

Posted by:

Someone recently pointed out to me some very interesting dating videos on YouTube. I watched quite a few of these and have to say they’re very interesting. I disagree with some of the advice given, but there are so many people interviewed I guess this is to be expected.

One video I really liked was about safety when dating online. The advice here was good and I really like the advice given regarding dating people who are closer to you ...
