Welp, Back to Being Single
October 29, 2012
The best and worst part of online dating usually has nothing to do with the dates. It’s all about the messages.

This story is from Dana, a 22-year-old student from Chicago, as told to Raz: It was our fourth date, and I brought Steve back to my place to seal the deal. The sex was great (if a little too speedy), and I was feeling good. Post hook up, we were lying in bed. For God […]

Being Shirtless (And Other Dating Profile Photo Mistakes)
October 10, 2012
I know I’m not supposed to judge a book by its cover—or a man by his dating profile picture. But no online dater in her right mind would agree to go out with a guy without giving his picture some serious consideration. It continues to shock me how many guys post photos that are laughingly […]
