Imagine yourself sitting down at a family dinner with your new partner by your side. You are introducing your parents and companion for the first time, hoping that everyone connects graciously and warmly. I am sure you can imagine yourself sharing the story of how you and your partner ...

Hi there, I’m somewhat new to this blog, although you may have come across my name here before, as I’m the other half of Brad’s success story with online dating.
My name is Kate and we’ve been married for nearly 8 years now. While Brad has said some really sweet things about me in his Online Dating Guide and blog posts, I have to say, I consider myself the lucky one! ...
Continue Reading →I get quite a few emails from people struggling to handle the situation where the person they’re dating is still active online. I hear from more women on this topic and some of those women don’t always understand my position: that if they’re not in an “exclusive” relationship, I don’t think the man is doing anything wrong.
I’ve talked about getting to exclusive already in my article on His Profile is Still Active: Is He Interested or Not? However, I ...

In a post a few weeks ago, I gave some additional details behind my online dating experience. After writing that post, I decided I wanted to talk specifically about some of my dates in detail.

Forbes discusses which cities are the best for singles dating online. These conclusions were actually compiled by OKCupid which looked at all of their users to determine which cities had the most active singles.
Boston was declared the best – the article discusses that Boston’s smaller size (relatively speaking) and high population as giving its ...
Continue Reading →Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Valentine’s day and remind everyone that your ability to have a great day shouldn’t be determined solely based on your relationship status. Most of the dating service deals going on will be ending today but one last one will be occurring at Lavalife tonight.
Lavalife will be allowing everyone to use their service from free from 6PM until midnight. I added this to my previous article (see above) but since it was ...

I recently read a great article that describes some situations that may seem bad on a first date but could actually be a sign that things are going quite well. The article, 6 Bad First Date Signs That Are Actually Good, is worth reading because sometimes we convince ourselves that things have going horribly when they’re actually going fine. As an example, how many of us have gone on a ...

While researching other dating sites, I stumbled upon PoorMatch.com. At first glance I thought I must be reading something wrong…but then I realized it was a big online dating parody. A really, really funny parody at that (we’re talking The Onion kind of funny). If you’re frustrated due to online dating, check out Poor Match for a few laughs to lighten the mood. Every page has great jokes, some that are harder to spot than others.

When I started writing my online dating guide, I had hoped it would be helpful to people that were either brand new to online dating or who were considering using a dating service. However, based on my traffic, it appears that most of my readers are already taking advantage of an online dating service. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I suspect my guide is much less useful to people who have experience with online ...

In a recent post, as well as in my guide, I argue that it is a good thing to date as many people as possible. A very interesting article at 40s Singleness takes exception with this advice. The author, one Lisa Q, challenges this idea with some questions that point out that simply dating for quantity can be, at best, just a waste ...

crass /kras/ – without refinement, delicacy, or sensitivity; gross; obtuse; stupid
I read an article today that got me worked up regarding what some men see as reasonable communication with women. The author, Barbara/Layla, describes a bad online date which isn’t really the problem (we all have those). The problem begins when the man emailed her after the date to let her know he was not interested, in as rude a fashion as his small brain could devise. I’m not ...

Near the end of my online dating, I discovered that sharing my dating experiences with my dates really opened the discussion up. Not only that, these candid conversations also opened my eyes to the absolute hassle women have to go through and gave me a glimpse of how they felt about online dating in general. Eventually, I found I was even enjoying dates where there was no “spark” because we became fast friends sharing our online dating experiences. Since my ...
