Last month a California court ruled that eHarmony will have to do more to promote its gay and lesbian dating services.

Poll: Men More Than Women Get Depressed After Breakup An article discusses poll results from Date.com…results that I found to be rather shocking statistics (I guess since I’m a guy).

Published on January 27, 2010

Published on January 25, 2010

Keep readingAvoid Complaining on First Dates
Published on January 23, 2010
I was recently talking to a woman who decided to end an online relationship after the first date because her date had complained for much of the dinner. This got me thinking about complaining in general and how as people we are so drawn to doing so. Even when this woman came to me to […]

Published on January 20, 2010
In my last post, I discussed ways to break your way into the conversation even if your date doesn’t ask you any questions.

Recently I’ve been writing about how niche dating sites can offer more success than the big dating sites simply because the service has already narrowed down its members to those with the single quality most important to you.
