2012 Best Free Dating Site

Finding a decent free dating site about a decade ago was an impossible task; they just didn’t exist. Plenty of Fish changed that playing field forever, and now there are more free dating sites popping up every day that I can keep track of. We’re just at the last stretch of the 2012 Dating Readers’ [...]

Best Overall Dating Site 2012

A few weeks have passed without much fanfare in the 2012 Dating Readers’ Choice awards. Nominations haven’t been pouring in like they did last year (likely because of the sign-in requirement to nominate) although you can now share your nominations via Twitter and Facebook. This time last year I had thousands of write-in nominations – [...]

Reader Asks For Some Senior Dating Help

Stuart is a 60-something single gay man who hasn’t dated in over 30 years, mostly because he’s been taking care of an ailing parent in a challenging situation. He’s eager to meet someone, and specifically wants to find a kindred soul that understands his unique situation – but he has no idea where to start, [...]

Dating While Snowed In

I currently live on an island – one that doesn’t often get snow, much less temperatures in the freezing range. And yet, one early, sleeping night, I woke up to huge fluffy white flakes everywhere. I’m sure I’m not the only single snowed who feels snowed in (even if the snow didn’t stick), wishing he [...]

When Do You Take Down Your Online Dating Profiles?

Roy S. Gutterman wrote a great (although somewhat unrelated) article a few years ago at the Jewish Exponent, discussing what he felt to be a “bogus” online dating profile. It seems a newspaper wedding announcement struck him as odd for a couple of days, “…until I went on to JDate, and saw the same photo [...]

Dating – How to Tell When You Have a Codependent Partner

Every now and then, we see people asking if something is wrong with their boyfriend or girlfriend. It’s good to take a refresher course in potentially damaging relationships, such as this WebMD article on recognizing codependents. Along with this article, here’s some quick warning signs: They never seem to have fun. Their emotions are suppressed [...]

What Are Your Dating Red Flags?

While researching and talking to other dating aficionados about the newly introduced dating boot camp, I spoke with the gent who runs 100RedFlags, a dating blog that discusses “…the small things that women do that drive men away.” [Note: The 100RedFlags site is not work-friendly, and uses language that may offend some readers.] I plan [...]
