How much of your love life is recorded online?

I got sent this awesome video- it’s a four minute long video of a whole relationship documented in photos- some candid, some posed. (And it’s not TRUE but it IS awesome!)

Thrush from Gabriel Bisset-Smith on Vimeo.
I love it, not just because it’s clever, but because it reminds me how much of our life is documented [...]

I don’t want to date dickheads!

Question: Where can you meet a guy when you are in your late 30s /early 40s but not where the dick-heads hang out
 
Ha ha. I feel your pain! Actually I’ve met quite a lot of lovely guys in the last year, and I’ve never been a person that is great at doing to all those common [...]

Social Faux Pas 101

I’ve got a wee love affair of business cards. I love collecting them and I love giving them out. I have two- one that is pretty with Eighty Eight Dates all over it, and another, more serious one for when a more professional and less “I talk about sex and relationships” is needed.
I met with [...]

Facebook: how to lose friends and irritate people

Last night I thought it was time for a little check to see if any old friends were on facebook that I’d love to catch up with- Iam, as people know a rather strong advocate for social networking
So I merged my gmail account with my facebook account, and selected around seven people I wanted to [...]

Assumption is the mother of all f$#@ ups

 why it’s best to leave your phone on sometimes… 
This is a six minute video- and a link someone else sent me on twitter- but it just shows why it is really NOT a good idea (And oh I have done it myself though NOT to this extreme) of assuming that someone not answering you is [...]

Is social networking ruining your social life?

When I first started internet dating I discovered it could really play with your head. You’d be talking to someone, you’d be dating them, and then if you logged on, you’d see them online , probably chatting to other girls (damn that green online light!) I foind a great way to combat it- I just [...]

Hooking up on twitter

I’ve obviously done more than my fair share of internet dating over the last few years. And I have to agree that some of the people (not all because after all you, me and half the world have tried it at least ONCE), but SOME of the people are kind of weird. And not in [...]

Does Facebook Know You Are Single?

I was chatting to some friends the other day on twitter about the whole facebook relationship status thing. I personally have taken it off my profile, as I thought it was a better option than changing it like the wind, or leaving it as single while going out with someone and then giving the impression [...]

A good networker may in fact be a disasterous dater

Put me in a business or social situation and I shine. I’m a natural people reader, I love talking to pretty much anyone, and I love, love, LOVE meeting new people. This is great in both a business and social context.
The thing is it’s not always the best in a dating context. I’m too [...]

I should not own a mobile phone.

ARRRRRGGGH. Today has been a day of disastrous mobile phone texting. While I’m not sure it beats the four part explicit text I wrote to my boyfriend last year but mistakenly sent to my cousin of the same name, it certainly has been a morning of uncomfortable texting.  (And oh, btw, my cousin was really [...]
