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!)

I love it, not just because it’s clever, but because it reminds me how much of our life is documented [...]

Declaring your sexual quirks on facebook

Right. I like to think of myself as pretty open minded. In fact I like talking to nearly anyone under the sun about nearly anything. I’m very rarely shocked, and the only time anyone ever goes close to actually embarrassing me is if they are a close friend who knows a wee bit more about me [...]

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 [...]

Aren’t you being a wee bit picky about love?

I got sent a great blog post that details seventeen of the most niche dating sites you can imagine. My favourites probably have to be the ones that match men who wear diapers with women who think that’s hot…. and the women in jail sites. (Ok I love the little people and the want bigger [...]

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 [...]

Thursdays at Rachels- expanding your social circle

At the beginning of the year I made ONE New Year’s Resolution- I was going to start a regular dinner party gig once a fortnight and invite people I knew but didn’t know each other.
It’s May and I’ve run it twice- and am now getting finally into the swing of things. Really finances have held me back- [...]

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 [...]

Dumping the virtual cheer up team

About six months ago I realised I had a pile of men’s numbers in my phone purely for my own cheer up needs. They weren’t really friends; I had no intention of dating them, and as for considering anything with them sexually? I had no plans to be going to go there EVER…
BUT. I knew [...]
