The single mom who dreamed about me, found my blog, and has been chatting with me ever since admits that she is nervous about meeting me in real life. (She’ll be in the Bay Area next week.) She’s never done the online dating thing. She doesn’t know what to expect.
That makes her the opposite of [...]
Ah, Craigslist. That online Mecca of all things bartered and traded – tickets, bikes, furniture, jobs, apartment leases. And don’t forget dates.

Her Craigslist dating ad last Tuesday was simple and direct:
Summer Romance – I’m 35, attractive and active, take good care of myself. I’m educated with a successful career. Looking for an intelligent, fit, emotionally healthy man, 35-45. Let’s meet for drinks tonight and see where things lead.

When CityGirl answered my craigslist ad, I should have known by the way she replied that we’d already met. My post said I was looking for an attractive, educated woman to meet for cocktails in Palo Alto. In her email reply she said she lived in San Francisco but frequently consulted on the peninsula, and [...]
Dear David,
online dating isn’t working for me. I’ve tried different dating sites for over a year now, with no luck. Granted, I go on plenty of coffee dates, but I haven’t even come close to finding Mr. Right. Is it me, or am I correct in thinking internet dating doesn’t work? I need your advice! [...]
