'Tis the Season for Singles

Dear Sexy Singles,
 
The one question I always get that makes me laugh is "If he/she is so great, why are they still single? What is wrong with them?" Well, look in the mirror, because chances are, you're probably in the same boat! There are lots of pretty good reasons why someone might be single, and although the stigma is that there might be something wrong with them, the more likely answer is, there's probably a lot right with them.  
 
Okay, sure, you've probably met all the singles that, well, should be single. It's not hard to figure out why the druggie with the mommy issues who can't hold a job isn't going to make it in the long haul. The good news is, we've done the dirty work for you and filtered out the "single for a reason" crowd. Smart singles wait for Mr. Right, rather than Mr. Right Now. 
 
I started this business because I believe that there are always quality singles of every age. The problem is that it gets progressively more difficult to meet them. What I am proud to offer is an opportunity to let your love life be just as successful as you are. A tailor-made dating service is exactly what you deserve! When you are ready to see what other great, exciting singles are out there, you might just find that looking for Mr. or Ms. Right is the best adventure of all. After all - you're still single, right? Make meeting fabulous, new people one of your New Year's resolutions!
 
Have a wonderful holiday season. Be of good cheer and, most of all, be the best single self you can be - for now!

Sexting, Sugar Daddies, & the Royal Wedding

What do these things have in common? I recently came across the article The Way We Loved- which highlights significant dating trends and discoveries surfacing in 2011. Did you know that for the first time in history there are more non-married people in the United States than married ones?  Would you be shocked to learn that “sexting” (sending racy text messages) has been added to the Oxford Dictionary?  

Call me old-fashion, but I hope some of these trends disappear just as fast as the New Year is approaching us. Whether you think dating is a game or a battlefield, it is important to know the rules. So, I hope you enjoy these quirky facts and tidbits as much as I do. Just promise not to use them to strike-up conversation with that hottie by the punch bowl.

Happy Dating!

Over Online Dating?

Eight at Eight
Urban professionals accepted to this exclusive 11-year-old service (8at8.com) can purchase a package of five dinner parties ($700), where straight singles are carefully matched in groups of eight at a restaurant (four men and four women, with new ones each time). The fee only covers only a drink, but once a hostess makes introductions, dinners usually produce at least one couple. Members range in age from 23 to 55, but, says founder Sarah Kathryn Smith, “Our sweet spot is helping people in their thirties and forties.”
