With more and more singles uploading their profiles online, internet dating is rapidly becoming one of the easiest and most successful ways to find love. To help make you’re dating experience positive, it is important to invest a lot of time and thought into the information that you upload on to the web. Here are some tips on the dos and don’ts of online dating.
However, I do get questions on this from readers and it’s clear to me that many people wouldn’t be comfortable with the idea of dating online without background checks. Because of that, I wanted to talk about my thoughts ...

Even dating has shifted online, with more and more people signing up to online dating sites such as http://www.eharmony.co.uk every day. Here are ten ways the internet ...

From time to time, I have conversations with people who find something odd when they use niche dating services: many of the people who contact them live very far away.

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.

Several months ago, I had posted the first two videos from Dentyne called The Single Life. I thought the videos were great and captured a lot of the real humor that happens behind-the-screens with online dating.
Well, somehow I lost track of these but a reader contacted me and let me know that the final two videos are up. Well, once again, I love the videos. There’s a lot of humor…and a lot of truth in them. Hope you enjoy them ...

I cover my approach writing first emails with online dating in my post First Contact Email Examples. In that article I also give some examples of how I would write some first emails based on several random dating profiles.
In this article, I will review some more first dating emails based on advice I gave to a reader. He provided me with three emails ...
You’ve been sending emails back and forth after meeting using an online dating service. Things are going great! The emails are getting more in-depth, you’re sharing more about each other and a first date seems all but certain.
Then they suddenly stop responding. What’s going on?!
Below is an email I received recently discussing this very situation:
