Shopping For Romance
During the 5 months of shopping around on real estate sites for a place to live, I couldn’t bear to also search around for a date. The pursuits were too eerily similar. Making a wish list. Checking out new entries each morning, with hope. Trying to figure out if they were worth a meet and greet. Getting disappointed by the visuals. And digging deep in my soul, to see if the inevitable compromises were ones I could live with. When months went by without scoring, I privately wondered what people had been suggesting for years. Am I too picky? The answer is, a resounding NO. I held out for the right condo, put an offer in within 24 hours, and I’m living happily urban ever after. Now that I’m settled, I’m getting the dating bug. Any suggestions for sites?

My best friend and I, both single professional women in our mid 30’s, often debate the merits of our preferred dating websites – hers: match, mine: okcupid. I don’t think either is great, and wish i had better options than just those two, but at least they both offer a large membership and you can figure it out after that.
