Get in the Online Dating Game with a Coach

January 10th, 2009

No team goes out to face their rivals without a little assistance, so why not get a coach on your side to help you with the game of online dating? After all, there are life coaches, sports coaches, and fitness coaches – why not a dating coach as well?

These coaches can help you learn how to find the person who will be a good match for you – and then they’ll be able to motivate you to meet up with them and begin a relationship.

Having an outside opinion and perspective will also allow you to see where you might be making mistakes in your dating strategy, while also helping you see where your strengths lie as well.

You can find these dating coaches through many online venues (of course) or you can look to life coaches to help you specifically with your dating decisions.

While it’s true you will need to pay for these services, a little investment of money can actually pay off in the end. Choosing the right person the first time can save you from having to pay for bad dates and quick cab rides to escape a boring conversation.

But just as with any person you date, it can help to take your time choosing your coach – after all, you’ll be spending time either on the phone or in person with them too. Don’t want to have a bad matchup there too.

So, do you need a dating coach to find your dating coach? Just saying…

Another Vote for Online Dating?

October 26th, 2007

Just when you thought you had enough questions to answer on an online dating site, SelectSmart.com and Vajoe.com come along to ask you about your political affiliation and ideas. These online sites are taking the main idea of online dating and matching you up with the best candidate for you – rather than matching you up with someone to spend your Friday night with.

Okay, so you’re not going to find the love of your life, but you are going to answer questions about what you feel about abortion, immigration, taxes, same sex marriage, etc. This is going to help decide which candidate right now should get your vote in the next presidential election.

But, in a sense, you are trying to set up a ‘date’ with the next presidential election. You want to know what the candidates have to offer before you make your final choice. And if you’re not sure what you want, these websites can help you pick the right person for your beliefs and your current living situation.

Even if you have no idea who is running or what they stand for, you can get an inside look at their ideas and beliefs to help you start making up your mind.

Your love life doesn’t have to stop during the election year, but you might want to think about other candidates for your country too. Your love life can wait for one night. Online dating apparently isn’t just for love; it’s for matching up with the right leader too.

Because the Internet Isn’t Fast Enough for Some Singles

October 3rd, 2007

There’s never enough time in the world anymore, especially when it comes to finding the love of your life – or is there? With SpeedDate.com, it seems that if you have three minutes to spare, they think they can find you someone to date. Developed as a business class project at first, this San Mateo, California site is hoping to help singles hook up with video chats instead of the ’slow’ style online dating scene.

With no subscription fees yet, interested people can sign up on the site, give a few details about who they are and then sign up for one of the speed dating sessions. Instead of having to converse with someone for months before you get to see them or to figure out whether or not they are right for you, speeddate.com helps you quickly punch ‘yes’ or ‘no’ at the end of each date to give your review. If you both hit ‘yes,’ then you will be able to talk more through the actual dating site.

While this does seem to cut through the hassles of other dating sites (like long forms and questionnaires), this site also seems like more of a gimmick than an actual place to meet someone to have a relationship with. Sure, you might meet someone who’s as adventurous as you are – but does that make them someone to walk down an aisle with? Or should we say, run down an aisle with? Only time will tell on this one.

Though we’re certain the answer will be clear soon enough.

Do you have any comments, complaints or something to say about SpeedDate.com? Did you meet someone special on this site? If so, we’d love to hear from you. Your opinion matters!
