I’ve been noticing that apart from the usual online dating sites, people have resorted to social networking sites to find dates.
It’s actually not a bad idea if you think of it. What do you really need in a site to find someone you can date anyway? Isn’t it all about finding a person whom you can connect with?
I’ve got to admit that I have gone on dates with people I met through sites like these — social networking sites, I mean. I can’t say it’s 100% better than online dating sites, it’s just another alternative to finding Mr. Right.

Here’s an idea for those of you who are into online dating. You can actually use the Skype software to meet people and communicate.
I’ve been a Skype user for quite a while now. Though, I’ve never considered it as a medium to meet the man of my dreams just for the reason that I only use it for personal [family & friends] and work reasons.

“Software like Skype is creating a …read more

Second chances at love don’t come often when you hit your 40s.
That’s what many single men in that age group are finding out. Dating now has become a challenge compared with when they were in their 20s.

Drysdale turned to Table for Two, a dating service agency, to help him get his game back.
“It helped save me a lot of time because the people they match you with already met the bulk of my criteria,” he says.

“My name is Allan Wills and I will go anywhere in the world for the right date.”
— Allan Wills, Are You My Wife?
This certainly brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, “dating around” and kicks the idea of personal ads up a notch. Hehehe.
I actually spent a considerable amount of time perusing the blog. I’m surprised at how interesting he made his dates sound. [Not that's it's NOT possible, okay?] Properly documented by photos and videos. But, of course, I have to note that these were done with consent from his dates, otherwise, he would respect their privacy. …read more

Happy Dave of London, shares his good fortune in his post about finding Princess Valium of Colorado, who is now his fiance. Yes. He recently popped the question that garnered him a “Yes” from her. Who would’ve thought that Flickr can bring these two people together? It’s such a sweet story.
Flickr is a digital photo sharing website and web services suite, and an online community platform, which is generally considered an example of a Web 2.0 application. [Wikipedia]
In his post, he narrated the relevant events in their relationship like how and where they met online, how, when and where …read more

We often hear the negative stories associated with meeting people online, but rarely do we hear what drew people to the net to begin with – or furthermore – the positive experiences that so many have had. 
In my own personal experience, I’ve had very positive and uplifting encounters during my single years and feel that I’ve made wonderful friends I would have never met had I not begun looking for love online.
Whether looking for love online or simply dipping your toes in the social networking waters, we’d love to hear your personal reasons for exploring the online possibilities of meeting others.  Consider …read more
