Just like how every love story has a protagonist with a sidekick who readily doles out dating advice, newly single daters need someone to guide them down the path to love as well.
After waking up next to the same person for years, finding yourself alone in the mornings can be a tough wake-up call for those recently divorced. And if you're adding the pressure of dating again, it's no wonder you feel more than just a little panicked!
So here we are with seemingly a zillion options at our disposal for finding everlasting love, and yet the rate of singles is higher than it's ever been in this country. Are we seriously looking for The One, or does having this many options make it harder than ever?

We live in a time of preview dating -- an endless shop-till-you-drop comparison of possibilities. No longer do Americans think e-dating is only for "losers" or people lacking "a life."
This past weekend I went on a fantastic date that included a painting party and it was really fun and different. I realized upon walking into a room o...
Online dating is great, because it cuts out a lot of the crap. But sometimes it also slops off some of the important, good old-fashioned ignorance about someone else.
Here at FFJD, I happen to be a girl looking for a boy. I've surveyed the various dating site options (Match, eHarmony, JDate) for myself. I figure I s...
Instead of watching election coverage, I am here, slogging away in my Victoria's Secret Pink jammiez (might I add that Bethenny Frenkel owns the exact pair, that she wore all the time while pregnant, womp) for all your reading pleasure.
I know, this article is going to be a bit biased. Hey, I'm that girl who went on a million dates (and counting!) and tried all of JDate for everyone t...
I was innocuously poking around on JDate when I got an IM from the user TRUTHY4U. At first I thought it was a joke - he was very clearly, at 47, far a...
We are all a bit superficial. But if your date is a terrible dresser -- looking like he or she ripped off a hobo or shopped exclusively at Modell's spandex section -- it's not the end of the world.

After seeing The Social Network, I was reminded that Facebook plays a huge role in dating, from start to finish. Let's see how that plays out in this hypothetical scenario.
I'm getting married in less than a month, to a man everyone assumes is Jewish. His name sounds Jewish. He looks like he could pass for Jewish. He comes to services, and he sings the prayers. But he is not Jewish.

I'm so sorry to the friend that sent in this piece. It's too bad this happened, but at least there can be some schadenfreude gleamed from seeing it on the interwebs.
This month's Marie Claire published an article called "Why You'll Never Find Real Love Online." Not only was it pretty poorly written, but it didn't really say much. I thought it'd rebut this article because I have some feelings about online dating now.
