10. Bald spot camouflage.
If you’re going bald don’t hide the fact under a cap. It’s not a character flaw and there’s no reason to be embarrassed by it. Besides, bald is the new sexy. So show skin with pride.
9. Saying you’re young at heart.
Generally only people over 40 years old say this and often it’s to compensate for being older. Age is not a defect. Just pick ...

I had a client whose original profile asserted, I love to cook. As a professional dating profile writer, I can tell you that about 80% of the profiles I read say the very same thing.
Eventually I learned this client not only loved to cook, she loved it so much she collected antique cookbooks. I also learned she was a ...

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:
Continue Reading →If you are conversing with someone via email (regardless of who initiates the conversation) and you respond with a short paragraph and question and they always responds with one or two sentences, does this mean that they are really not interested. If asked a question I answer the question plus give some background and ask another ...

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 ...
Continue Reading →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 ...

Thinking of interesting and unique date ideas can be difficult. Sure, you can find some good ideas if you look long enough online but even many of those end up being something less than interesting or unique.
Well, recently I was talking about How About We…, a new dating service where you find dates based on first date ideas instead ...

Lately I’ve been thinking about my online dating guide, particularly how it continues to grow and how all the information might be overwhelming to someone new to online dating.
With that in mind, I’ve put together the following checklist that provides dating suggestions at a very high level based on the advice I provide in my dating guide. Where my guide goes into great detail into each area, this list keeps things simple for quick review.
This list is broken ...
Continue Reading →Recently I found myself reading some commentary in a forum where the person was stating that they believed no one should ever pay for online dating with all the free services available. As frequent readers of this site know, I am a big fan of taking advantage of free dating sites with my personal favorite being OKCupid. Still, my experience and the experience shared by singles I talk to suggest that this person’s argument has one big flaw.

In my last article I was encouraging everyone to be open to dating geeks. As a geek, I am happy to see the stereotype being more and more accepted: by non-geeks but also by geeks who are really starting to embrace who they are. Still, if you decide to follow my previous advice, I think it only fair to point out some of the unique situations you may deal with when dating a ...

You may find yourself dating online when you receive contact from someone you might label as a “geek”. Now, before you write this person off as not worth dating I think you should consider what geeks bring to a relationship. As I’ll be discussing in this article, while geeks fail to bring the social status important to many people, what they offer in replace of that makes them well worth your consideration.
None of the reasons I will be discussing are ...
