Yep, Dina, match.com. Should I write an article about it? Just joking.
Oh, I met many guys on match.com. Mostly decent people with whom I'm still friends. I live in a small community, so one has to be careful. It seems everyone knows everyone else, which can be good if you're checking out a potential dating prospect. All my research on Brian before I met him came back favorably.
Okay, here's some article fodder for online dating rules:
1. Post a recent photo, not one from 10 years ago.
2. Don't lie about your age or weight.
3. Don't bitch about your ex.
4. Don't complain about other match.com dates you've had and if you must, NEVER identify them by name. It may come back to bite you.
5. Always arrange for your first meeting in a public place.
6. Do not give out your e-mail address, snail mail address, or phone number until feel 100% safe.
7. Don't embellish your job, earnings, material goods.
8. Don't order pesto on a first date unless you feel totally unselfconscious saying to your date, "Do I have a big gob of green on my teeth?" (Personally, I have no problem uttering this sentence, but one match.com date was horrified.)
