Dating Blog Roundup

I haven't done a blog roundup in a while, which is a shame. There's so much great content being discussed right now, this the "Superbowl" of the dating season: where online dating site memberships soar, and couples start thinking about Valentine's Day. So without further ado...

Marc Evan Katz (who really needs to change his header now that he's married), has a brilliant dating advice piece whose title doesn't do it justice. The Most Important Dating Advice You'll Ever Hear -- Don't Do Anything, which houses one quote so amazing, I can't do it justice in a rewrite. "If he refuses to let you go, you have your husband. If he lets you leave, you have your freedom." Think about it.

There's No Recession for Online Dating Sites, says the LA Times this week. Which isn't surprising to me; I blogged about this same debate earlier last month in response to a study undertaken by eHarmony regarding Relationship Anxiety in an Economic Downturn.

Single Mom Seeking always gives me a laugh when I read her blog, and she hasn't let me down this week with a flurry of posts. My favorite, Is the Bachelor A Double Standard, talks about the bias towards single moms dating, as opposed to the seemingly romantic viewpoint that single dads trying to find a mate have found in today's media spotlight.

Seth over at the Dating Papers discusses how Winning Battles, Picking Fights helps and hinders any relationship, but is geared especially towards dating couples.

iDateWhite, an interracial dating blog, speaks about Dating and STDs, a topic the author and I discussed briefly on our respective Twitter streams (datingguide, idatewhite) before he openly shared his experiences and opinions. I say kudos to him for sharing so openly with his readers.

And speaking of tell all's on Twitter, Sex, Lies and Dating in the City (twitter: SINgleGirl) has shared her most recent date-that-never-was due to sickness, and why she found the object of her affections interesting at first in More Interesting.
