Welcome to the second edition of the Dating Blog Carnival, where we review some intriguing and/or thought-provoking posts about dating from around the blogosphere. There were a lot of submissions this week, but only a select few made it through. Feel free to comment and let me know what you think.

Marc Basile is starting off the week with Kissing Tips posted at The Incurable Romantic. Marc's blog posting is more of a how-to than anything, which I found quite interesting since there are few writers who will actually go into the nitty gritty details, whether it is a friendly, mistletoe-induced or romantic kiss.

Next up isMadeleine Begun Kane's smile-enhancing Ring Of Truth (Limerick) posted at Mad Kane's Humor Blog. Honestly, it'll take you longer to read my run down of her post than it will to read it. It's a lovely little love limerick.

Playing Hard to Get is Martha's contribution, which was posted at thrive! Hers is a narrative of dating experiences as a recently divorced woman in her 50's, and how playing hard to get falls into the mix for her and her friends.

That concludes this edition. To submit your blog post to the next dating blog carnival or to apply to be a host, please review the dating blog carnival guidelines.
