Having spent hundreds of hours on online dating sites I can tell you what works and what doesn't (for starters, guys please keep your shirts ON). Instead of replaying my horrific meetups with recovering alcoholics, I-still-want-her-back divorcees, and "Ooops did I forget to mention I have 7 kids", I'd like to introduce some new technology that might just save you some dating aggravation.

Hey there cutie patootie,
HowAboutWe (http://www.howaboutwe.com) ...drink some wine at a gallery opening. I love a man who can suggest such a fun date - that's why I chose you on HowAboutWe.com. Finally there's a dating website that's more than just an online profile. Teach me about Art Nouveau, I'll teach you about wine legs. I'd love to make plans and meetup unless your HowAboutWe profile screams "Psycho-Stalker" in which case I'll politely decline and watch The Notebook.....again.
YES! I have a date. But what to wear? Afterall it's a first date. A bad impression could send me back to the Ben & Jerry's tub in the freezer.
Jeans or a dress? Heels or Flats? This is a job for Blurtopia. HELP my Blurtopia (http://blurtopia.com/) friends!

Jeans with heels it is! Jim, Sandy, and Dan all commented that it would make a great first impression. Now THAT'S what I call crowd sourcing!
I'm getting pretty excited about this date because it's been on my bucket list for quite some time. I'm curious though what type of planner you are. Will you be late for our first date? Let's Twist (http://www.twist.com/) and find out.
It's fairly easy so if you can't figure it out we're likely not a good match. I only have room for one blonde in my life. Open Twist, select the location, choose my number, and Twist away. You won't need to send me texts while you're driving - that's Twist's job. If you're running late I'll probably know before you do.
Turns out your ETA was my ETA. See, wasn't that fun?!
I enjoyed our date. You were funny, smart, cute...that's enough to secure a Round 2. But I'm really confused about your texts. You're sending me mixed signals. Thankfully, HeTexted (http://hetexted.com/) has an entire online community to help me interpret what this means: "I had a great time. Guess I'll see you when I see you."
Eh, that's ok cuz I Googled you and saw your pictures from Spring Break. WOW, You reeeaaaally like brunettes...A LOT.
Guess it's back to HowAboutWe.com for another fun date from my bucket list.
THE END
Sorry Android users...for now, HowAboutWe, Blurtopia, and Twist are available for iOS only. HeTexted is available via the web and can be linked to your Facebook and Twitter profiles.
HAPPY DATING!
I'm so glad I'm married! But that Twist thing sounds pretty cool.
