How to write a great online dating profile.
The two most important things in life are finding the job you want and finding the love you want. Yet, most people don’t take their dating profiles anywhere near as seriously as they take their LinkedIn profiles and resumes. I know. I write both for a living. I also scan dating sites all time.

Online dating. The sizzle and fizzle.
Kevin Kokoska, a friend of “trysweettalk” offered to do a guest post for this week’s dating blog. I love what he’s written.
