confessions of a relationship blogger.

Now that the messages are coming in like hot cakes, (is that the correct expression? how fast would you say hot cakes come in at? 1 or 2 every-other day?)

Regardless, I've got a confession to make.

This isn't easy for me to admit, but everything I know about online dating I learned from You've Got Mail starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.

Translation - I know nothing about online dating. or regular dating really.

Hm...You don't seem surprised.

I'm not embarrassed. I'm sure there are other people who are wondering the same things I am.

Having said that, I'm curious:

- Are there rules for online dating?

- Should I be telling all of my friends that I'm doing this?

- How long do I wait before I reply to a message from a hottie?

- How do you avoid looking desperate?

- How many pictures of myself do I put up?

- Should I include photos in which I'm eating popsicles?

- What about bananas?

- twinkies?

- hotdogs?

- How do you describe yourself in a tastefully confident manner?

- What do you do when you see someone from the Online World, at a bar in the Real World?

- What is flirting and how do you do it?

- When do I start initiating a meeting?

- Or do I wait for the man to ask me out?

- Which comes first - dinner or coffee?

- Is it too forward to suggest meeting at a hotel?

- What do you do when you're surfing for hotties and come across your friend's roommate's profile?

- How do you wear yoga pants all day without getting camel toe?

- Should I have listed blowjobs under the Things I'm Good At tab?

- Why is 69 such a funny number?

- Is it true what they say about the size of the boat and the motion of the ocean?

- What is that a metaphor for?

- Is it normal to love Call Me Maybe this much?

- Where do babies come from?

Thanks guys. It felt good to let all that out.
