Have you ever shown your online dating profile to a friend? Get any solid feedback? Cause the truth is, writing a successful online dating profile can be a lot harder than one suspects. Worse still, you can unknowingly be turning off the opposite sex! Take my client Nancy as an example. Late thirties, divorced with […]
As I continue to wade through the vast sea of online dating, I find myself feeling impatient with myself. Not because I want a man pronto, but because I’m STILL not sure what ‘type’ of man I like. And I wonder, Did I get a chameleon chromosone at birth? Or do I simply have no idea what […]
I started online dating about six months into my separation. And when my ex-husband found out, it was an ‘awkward’ moment: He was in my office and asked me which site I was on (he knew all the site names, for whatever reason). He then told me to pull up my profile, (which I did, […]

According to my best friend Hali, I do. Disqualify men too quickly, that is. Over drinks this past weekend, I was telling her about my dating life, when she quickly inserted: “Ummm Delaine…what dating life?” I laughed, rather taken aback. “What do you mean? You know I’m still on a couple of dating sites.”
When a friend of mine first recommended I try internet dating, a social avenue that hadn’t even existed the last time I was single,I scoffed. I mean, I’d heard of it, but I assumed it was full of weirdos and creeps. Nonetheless, curiosity got the better of me – after all, how else was I ever […]
