You people never cease to amaze me.
Once again, you delivered above and beyond expectation! In the last week, we collected almost a thousand test profiles and the Tech Dudes couldn’t be happier. They’re like little gleeful Scrooge McDucks, doing the breaststroke in a mountain of gold coins. Only, you know, with data.
Wow. That worked so much better in my head.
Anyway, now that we’re all full of data, check out the community online dating blog I’ve been working on! Already it features some pretty awesome stories by folks like Derek (“Judy Miller (Almost) Got me a Date”) and quotes from dozens of you who volunteered to be guinea pigs. Navigate around — there’s more hiding off the main page.
So, here’s the latest ask:
In short, I want your dating stories! Your comments about how much online dating stinks, or how awesomely it’s worked out for you or what you think should being going on to make the magic happen. Your opinions are invaluable – a room full of Tech Dudes hasn’t really been providing quite the same level of inspiration. Though, I’m sure that goes without saying.
Anyway, stop by! Or if you have a particularly awesome (or awesomely bad) dating story, email it to me!
Coming up tomorrow: Tight jeans, sawdust and Southern Comfort. With lime.
I totally got the Ducktails reference!
You are awesome. And, I’ll be sure to stop by the site with some dating (horror) stories.
I too got the reference, and I envision your tech dudes locking themselves in a small room and dancing to Salta N Peppa’s “Push It”. Nice cite.
also tomorrow…the answer to the question…does telepathically threatening with a bat work or not? DUN DUN DUNNNNNN
you seem SO much happier lately. it’s completely noticeable. congrats!
Do you really want true dating stories? I went to Iwantu.com and I met a wonderful girl from Montreal, his name is Kattie. I met her through the chat room and we are in process to meet each other better. Iwantu.com really worked for me!!!
I tried the match.com thing – but I never actually went out on any dates. I’m not sure why because I did get a lot of responses. But whatever. I just broke up with my boyfriend ( we moved to Vegas together from Florida and we are both staying in Vegas) – but I haven’t been on any dates so far. I live in Vegas for god’s sakes – there should be tons of HOT guys. Oh well – I have faith that I’ll meet someone one of these days.
I’ve tried the mtch.com thing, even gave it a second chance after a two year break and it still doesn’t work. The guys that I met acted like they couldn’t care less. Two years ago, I dated two different guys, at different times!, that just stopped calling after several dates. One of the guys I dated for three months and he dropped off the face of the earth. They both emailed me months later, making a lame excuse about losing my number. This time when I tried it, the guys would call, meet me, call some more and then I hear nothing, even with me calling to see if everything is ok. Then after a couple of weeks, they’ll call and say hey sorry I lost touch but do you want to do something.????? I’m beginning to think that there are so many women on match that they don’t have to even try. I feel like second choice. Maybe one of these days I’ll be first choice to somone.
