I can’t believe that I posted the first post on this online dating site a year ago. I started by signing up for eHarmony two years ago now. After a year and a few dates I thought this might make an interesting topic for a blog. So I registered the domain name and started on my way.

This was my first blog. It started off pretty well. I think I posted like 40 days in a row or something. I came up with a few ideas like writing about all niche-dating sites that were popping up all over and adding a little commentary to the weekly news in the world of online dating. Since I have started two others: TVaholic and The Brown Chronicles.

Goals for the Coming Year at eWooing

• Post More Frequently – Maybe not everyday like when I started but at least a couple times a week. I have a lot of ideas; I just don’t always sit down and write about them right away. Then after a few days it seems like old news.
• Comment More on Others Sites – I can’t really complain much that I have so few comments when I don’t always take the time to ad my two cents to the conversation at other websites I read.

Are there any topics in the world of online dating that you would like more information about? Let me know in the comments and maybe I will add it the eWooing to do list. Here’s to another year, hopefully big and better than the one before.

Below are a few online dating articles for your perusal. We can all use a little help in our search for the special someone. These articles will hopefully help you do just that. With tips, suggestions and commentary from the world of online dating. Enjoy!

Twice Bitten, Twice Why?
This is a funny little story. This seems to take place a lot. I have had it happen to me. It is even weirder when they contact you first as in this case and when you reply they are never heard of again. This is strange behavior indeed. Have you had this happen to you?

An amusing read with a few tips thrown in leaving with a little hope in the end.

When tall and handsome turns out short and pudgy
In my view online dating is a lot like offline dating, if people are dishonest in general they are going to continue to be dishonest online. What do you think of all the talk of government regulation of online dating? Should full-fledged background checks be standard? Should there be some small oversight? Should they just stay away completely? I would say closer to the later in my opinion would be good. What do you think?
