I’m a writer and social media consultant in New York City. This is my blog. Lots of people would consider me a dating blogger, but I don’t like this label. Not really that there’s anything wrong with being a dating blogger. Or a relationship expert. Or dating guru. Any of that stuff. I know some dating bloggers and they’re fabulous people. Really! I’m simply not a huge fan of labels. Along with the second you label us a dating blogger there are all of these assumptions that include it. And rules. Things I’m supposed to do or not do. I’m not OK with that.
I began this blog during the summer of 2008 as a way to have an alternative outlet for my creativity. My writing career was at a standstill and I was dying for an audience (any writer who tells you they don’t want an audience is lying). Friends had been suggesting, for years, that I write about dating. I’ve always been a prolific dater and had plenty of dating stories to share, so I went with it. And blogging seemed like the best way to find an audience. So I began to blog about my dating life. My intention was never to become a dating guru or a relationship expert. I just wanted to tell stories that people would enjoy reading. Real stories about dating and relationships. As the blog grew I found myself occasionally covering topics besides dating. Some of these might fall under “women’s issues”, and others as “living single” (if you were just dying to slap labels on them). I wouldn’t be surprised if I continue to expand my subject area. It’s a big world out there with lots of interesting things to write about. My websites: adult friend finder the most dating website
