You looked better online.



I should buy this t-shirt and wear it underneath my clothes on every date with guys I meet online. Just in case.

    Just read your whole blog! Really enjoyed it- very much goes with my online dating experience what with stupid profiles and bad picture choices. It's not an easy playing field. Look forward to reading more!

    Oh, I love that shirt! I totally want to wear it the next time I end up on a date with a guy who looks about ten years older than he did in his pictures.

    Thanks, newyork! Yeah, so far this blog is one of the only productive things to come out of my online dating experience.

    Neurotic, I saw that shirt on Zazzle, and I had to link to it. I wouldn't have the guts to actually wear it on a date, but I like to pretend.

Nick the Nice Guy: Part 1, or When Do You Know You're Not Interested?

Image
If a guy's really nice, and not awful looking, and clearly really likes you, it's a good thing, right? What if you've gone out with him a few times, and never felt that "spark"? How long do you give it before you figure out if you are ever going to be interested, or if it's a lost cause?  I write about date night horror stories a lot, because they're way funnier than the stories about guys who just sort of fizzled out. But in the spirit of balanced reporting, I submit to you the story of Nick the Nice Guy. I'm kind of experiencing a similar situation with someone else right now... so I'm looking for a little clarity on this type of experience. Nick the Nice Guy: Part 1 Dating site: JDate Fake name : Nick (the Nice Guy) Age : 23 Job : Counselor, works with kids and teens. Time frame : January and February of 2010 When I started chatting with Nick, I was very excited. Based on the pictures, he was cute, and had a similar sense of humor as...

I joined OkCupid, and I already love it

More to come on my newest online dating venture at OkCupid, but I had to share this. OkCupid stays free because it has advertising galore. Which I'm okay with. I'll put up with some ads in order to join the site for free. In fact, when there are ads like the following, I even enjoy it! Find a date, but don't give them chlamydia! Order a free test online now. It's nice that their ads are so targeted.

What Not to Write: A Perfect Specimen

Image
I've posted before about online dating don'ts for men. I do it mostly in good fun, as I make no claim to be perfect or have a perfect profile. Everyone makes errors in judgment occasionally. Some are more egregious than others. Posting pictures that involve a lineup of people when I don't know who you are? Merits an eye roll, nothing more. Averaging 3 spelling mistakes per sentence? Deep, profound sigh. But occasionally, a profile is so wrong, so off the mark, and so blazingly unaware that my first reaction is to burst out laughing. And then use it as the ultimate example of what not to write. OkCupid Specimen: What Not to Write    I would like you to use just one comma. Is that so much to ask for? Apparently, yes. Oh lordy, where to begin? Oh right, commas. And apostrophes. Where to continue? Let's go with insulting the reader. The reader, presumably, is a woman on OkCupid. According to you, this means she is one of several things: drunk, crazy, a whor...
