I'm Back!

It's been a long 3 1/2 years since I last posted on this blog, but with new chapters in life come new insights. This new chapter in my life that I want to chronicle is my attempt at online dating. Yes, I realized that whatever I had been doing in my dating life wasn't working and that only crazy people do the same things and expect different results. So I took the plunge.

Step 1 - Join

On my 29th birthday I signed up for my first online dating site, LDSsingles.com. I've been frequenting the site for about 4 months now and success has been mixed. On a positive note, I have been able to significantly expand my reach to girls I wouldn't have met otherwise. I have also been able to have a lot more dates. However, I am still finding that positive online interactions aren't turning into positive dates. Perhaps I'm expecting too much from these dates or perhaps I'm not very practiced, but I will place the responsibility on myself.

What You Can Expect

So instead of relating business to dating, here is what you will be seeing on this blog from now on:
  • What I like/dislike about the dating sites (yes, I'm going to be trying other sites soon)
  • How my dates go (all names will be changes to protect me, uh, I mean them)
  • My observations on dating habits, culture, etc.
If you read, please comment as well. I value your feedback and any humor is doubly appreciated.
