Please share your opinion………
I’ve read reports that the economy has brought about a surge in the dating game and I’ve read that it has had the opposite effect, as well. Which theory is correct?
In an attempt to get to the bottom of this economy/dating mystery, I’ve come up with a poll. What do you readers think? What have you experienced personally? Does the economy effect your dating habits or not? I’ll keep this poll up for a little while and I’ll share the results with you soon.

We’ve all heard it from our mother’s and grandmothers – but then again, we all know that ‘times change‘ – right?
I took my little investigation over to a forum where a diverse crowd of singles tend to hangout. After presenting the same question there, I was able to draw my own conclusion from the small percentage of men and women who actually responded.
What I’m seeing …read more
