The Online Dating Busy Season

Posted by:

When is the best time to try online dating? I personally don’t feel that there is a best time: if you want to try online dating, it’s the best time to begin! However, I also realize that for many people they don’t even know if they’ll like online dating and want to try it when they have the best chance.

If you judge the “best time” to try online dating, then that time is just around the corner: January each year. ...

My Second Online Date – The “Too Good to Be True” Date

Posted by:

I recently spilled my guts about my online dating hesitations and the first relationship I was in that came via an online match-up. To date, I have only met three men in person after meeting on the internet. Yes, I am that stubborn about meeting people online, plus I have had equal, if not better, success in the tried and true, old fashioned finding-dates-through-friends-and-hobbies approach.

Anyway, two of my online dating first dates became relationships, and the third was ...

My First Relationship from Online Dating

Posted by:

While online dating is becoming much more common, I can’t help but sense the stigma still attached to it. This is why, as a mid-twenties, motivated and very social woman, I felt absolutely ridiculous making my first profile on a free online dating site. I have lived in a college town for the last 7 years… great to meet people, but it becomes very small, very fast! So when the “people” I met were all exes or dates of friends ...

Catfishing – The New Online Game You Don’t Want to Play

Posted by:

Just because MTV now has a full series dedicated to “Catfish” doesn’t mean it’s just a young kid’s game. What is catfishing, you ask? We are not talking about a “plenty of fish in the sea” type reference. Catfishing is the slang term created to describe the situation where an online relationship has been happening for a significant amount of time, but the two parties have never met in person (nor have they Skyped or had other real-time interaction to ...

Online Dating: When They Stopped Responding to Emails

Posted by:

In online dating, you’ll sometimes be in an email conversation with a new person and things seem to be going great. Often there seems to be a strong connection and the conversation couldn’t flow better. Then, unexpectedly the person you are emailing stops responding. You might then think, “What did I do wrong? Why aren’t they emailing me anymore?”

This topic, where someone stops responding to your emails, is one that I’ve covered here before. However, it’s one of the areas ...

Too Much Emphasis on Kids in Your Dating Profile?

Posted by:

As a new-ish dad (my son is now 15 months old) I can say that having kids is absolutely wonderful. Exhausting but wonderful. And if you’re like me, you may find your kids becoming your go-to topic for conversations. Which is okay in most cases (as long as we’re not driving people crazy).

However, I’ve helped with some dating profiles recently and I’ve seen people put a bit too much emphasis on being dad or mom and not so much ...
