Send a mesage to someone you love

November 17th 2008 23:12
Just found this website, it lets you write messages in the sand and send it free to whoever you want. A nice thing to do for someone as we head into the holiday seasons. So if you love someone at the moment, and who doesn't, now is a good time to tell them

Is RSVP a good dating site?

September 8th 2008 05:26
I'm going to try and review a dating site each month or so, depending on results. I figured I'd start with the biggest one RSVP and see what it can do. I'm going to sign up as a free member first just to check it out and I'll let you know how it goes.

In the meantime here is another reader submitted story

Let the games begin

September 17th 2006 13:42
What the hell am I going to wear?
Some may find this question a fair one to ask while others may be disgusted by its superficial, girly girl connotations. Yet first impressions are always important when you will be attending your first internet date at your chosen local pub.
The pace has stepped up a notch in my internet dating challenge as I have even begun to give my number out to guys who I have been playing ping pong email messages with.

hook line and sinker

September 4th 2006 08:23
The bait, hook and line have been taken and I am currently under siege with ‘kisses’ and mail from everything from 4 foot tall pygmies to 100 year old men with the need of my young, fresh blood.
I had no idea that my hot pic from 2 years ago would bring in such a crowd of admirers. I am starting to wonder why this doesn’t happen to me when I am down at the pub meeting people. Which gives me reason for concern as to whether I am coming across as way to ‘unavailable,’ to the male species on a day to day basis.
With my profile up in cyber land I am practically being fed to a school of sharks all ready and keen to get married, settle down and have kids (or just get some online sex

Agony Aunt

August 31st 2006 08:12
Consider this. The man or woman of your dreams is about to walk into your life today but you may or may not be there to take the opportunity because you were too busy fumbling for change.
Do you believe in fate? Sliding doors?
Well I believe everything happens for a reason but I am certainly not about to sit on my laurels and let the ‘man of my dreams’ drift on by while I’m sitting at home with my face planted in a bowl of tear soaked soup and two blocks of rich dairy milk chocolate.

The Daily Telegraph joins the scene

May 30th 2006 10:33
The Daily Telegraph circulated a similar article also in 2003 entitled ‘Perfect match, thanks to your mobile’ giving details of “Telstra [has been] examining "proximity dating" technology to go with mobile phones. It could be operational by Valentine's Day in 2004. With location mobile services, you put a profile of whom you'd like to meet and who you are into your mobile, and when you get within 100 metres of someone compatible the phone starts beeping. Profiles could include such things as age, eye and hair colour, height, likes and dislikes, star signs and what you're looking for in a partner. If you've got an MMS phone you can exchange photos, speak to the other person, decide where you want to meet, and even videoconference together. The service will work with existing technology using GPS and software from mobile phone carriers”.

Although this notion of ‘proximity dating’ is yet to surface the popularity of mobile phone and other technological services as a means of interaction with the opposite sex is escalating – which suggests those beeps signaling romantic matches every 100 metres may be in the not too distant future. It reduces a number of risks including shyness, inability to put together a sentence, stumbling over your words and, frankly, making a complete fool of yourself, plus reducing the sting of rejection. These articles, as well as programs such as ‘Single Girls’ from the UK – four single women spend seven weeks on a dating frenzy in London, using all new technological services to snag the man of their dreams - are testament to the uncontrollable and often successful spree of 21st century dating modus operandi.

The Herald's 'Text in the City'

May 18th 2006 11:20
An article published in The Sydney Morning Herald in 2003 entitled ‘Text and the city’ reported “SMS may be the perfect tool for ‘romantic texting’, but it means flirting is no longer free. Sending such messages as C4U ("crazy for you") or W2BAI ("want to be an item?") will cost the sender up to 25 cents a time - a boon for the carriers, which have become the modern-day Cupids. Virgin Mobile, which estimates 70 per cent of its customers are under 30, charges only 10 cents when both the sender and the recipient are Virgin subscribers. In a recent "love poll", Virgin found 90 per cent of its teenage users flirt by texting, 53 per cent use SMS to ask someone out, and 25 per cent thought SMS would help them "score". Virgin has even released a guide to textual flirting: "The Joy of Text", and hosts regular SMS "love-in" events. In April, the telco will start a dedicated mobile phone dating service in the UK, Flirt Alert, similar to Vodafone's Luv Shack. A more sinister side to the developments, though, is the presence of mobile phone "stalkers": being pestered by someone sending unwanted advances.”

199-SEXY to the rescue! (continued)

May 11th 2006 13:10
Even before email and messenger facilities there were answering machines that allowed us to dodge any actual human contact. But these services usually assist us in conversing, however statically, with people we already know and just don’t have time – or don’t want to make time – for a decent conversation over the phone or over a coffee. Many people may have thought this aloof nature of interaction couldn’t possibly develop further than internet chat rooms where we aren’t even sure whether we are talking to someone of the description provided to us. A tall blonde, blue-eyed guy in his 20s with incredibly tanned skin and killer looks could actually be a hunchbacked middle-aged hermit who preys on a discussion of sexual fantasies with young girls… eww…

Just in case you’ve recently been rescued from the islands of Thurston or Attu after years of isolation and haven’t the foggiest concept of what I’m jabbering about, let me welcome to the technology era of tele-cafes, ‘7 men in 7 minutes’ speed dating and sms rendezvousing (and dumping); where chance dating is a thing of the past. It’s all about picking and choosing, tailoring your next interaction with your ultimately desirable character.

“THANKS TO 199-SEXY FOR INTRODUCING US”

May 10th 2006 12:32
You know those nights when you’d give anything to get some shut eye? You’ve been up and on-the-go since 6am that morning and despite your over-tired state your body just won’t shut down and drift off to the land of nod. If not, then you’re possibly missing out on a pioneering element on the future of relationships.
