Well, I just spent over two hours reading your whole blog, and I have to tell you it was incredibly entertaining - and informative! I have been online dating myself, and as a man I learned a few things. I have not made any extreme mistakes and I have had good success, but I took the opportunity to make a few mental notes because your feedback seemed right on. I think you really should go on a few dates. I know you know this, but put it into action. After all, right now you’re just a “keyboard jockey” with no real Internet dating experience. The best part is yet to begin. Best of luck.

Wow- I can’t believe you read the whole thing. I kind of glossed over it when I started my blog but I went on three dates when I briefly tried Match a few years ago, so I’m not a total newbie in that regard. It was those experiences that made me realize you can feel a great connection with someone in emails only to discover there’s no chemistry in person. That’s why I’d prefer to skip the emails and phone calls.

Good luck to you in your own onling dating experience!
