Hey folks, I hope you’ve had a fantastic week! I’ve had a quiet one, as you may have noticed. 🙂 I’ve been kinda heads-down doing some revamping on the site—some of the important pages like Safety and Tech Tips no longer appear in the main menu, but you can still access them via the new Free Resources page. As the …
Hi all! I’m experimenting with tackling a few more topics via video, instead of just in writing or on the podcast. (Crikey, you might not think I need one more outlet since I also have this other blog plus my newsletter and an advice column, but people are actually requesting online dating advice videos! Yay?) Let me know what you’d like …
I recently worked with someone who did a delightfully refreshing profile, nothing like most of what you’d find. It was a reminder on how effective that strategy can be, and it made me think of my own very different but equally non-traditional approach that landed me Grant. So if Up-Goer Five and The Craigslist Wall of Text aren’t your style, …
Hi guys! You might’ve noticed that I tend to just post here about online dating topics whenever something strikes me, be it a link to online dating in the news, a book release I think you’ll find interesting, or a topic that strikes my fancy. Willy-nilly is sort of how I roll, ya know? I like to write when I’m …
I started subscribing to Dave Pell’s email newsletter NextDraft a few weeks ago, and I’m so glad I did. I get my online dating news from a variety of sources—Google News alerts, online dating blogs, and people from Twitter and App.net who send me links they think I might like. (I do also occasionally see stuff from Twitter and Facebook …
Douglas Mack wrote a beautiful and heart-wrenching piece about his own online dating adventure in The Morning News. (Thanks to Dave Pell’s NextDraft for bringing this to my inbox.) He tackles the topic of newly acquainted folks Googling each other once they find out a full name to query. This is a tricky practice; I usually discourage even sharing one’s entire …
Hey all, check it out! The wonderful Mark E. Harris reached out to me for input on this NextAvenue piece on smartphone apps for single Baby Boomers. It was a nice excuse to research quite a few apps in more detail than I had done previously. The trouble is, I really think apps aren’t up to part with their web …
Hey daters, I’m excited to announce a new avenue of helping people find love! I’ve partnered up with LikeBright, a Seattle-area startup that helps singles meet people through their friends’s connections. I’ll be running an ‘Ask LikeBright’ column, answering questions about anything and everything online dating, social media, and modern love with an Internet twist. Hop on over to LikeBright …
Everyone who meets me thinks I’m an extrovert. In some ways, it’s to my credit; I’m great at being friendly and welcoming and putting people at ease. But it doesn’t always come easily, I definitely need to recharge, and I hate when I’m constantly booked with social stuff. Many people don’t know this about me, because they mostly see the …
Hey daters! My April newsletter just went out recently, with some information and advice about common little white lies in dating profiles. And back in March, I covered phone etiquette with online dates, and some tips for social media management if you’re not super into dealing with your Facebook account. My May issue is coming soon, with practical detailed information …
