I joined Tinder and only used it for about three days before I decided I really wasn't a fan, and switched to using OKC.

Yeah, that's pretty much my plan right now. His job isn't in the field he wants, and he's looking for other work anyway, so it's most likely not permanent.

I think it's okay to try one more message, then if he still doesn't respond, you have your answer.

So, I thought I'd just share my recent online dating experiences (this will be pretty boring compared to some of the stories some of you guys share, so feel free to skip it if you want). I joined OKCupid three weeks ago today, and I've met three different guys from there so far (I'm a straight woman). I have a lot of

Oh, thank God. There's the Dan I know. I had been worried there was a malfunction in the Savage Columnbot as it's been a few weeks since Dan recommended hiring a sex worker.

I was hoping it would get more coverage, too, just overall. I was closely following his adventures on Twitter, and I donated $50. I felt really bad for the guy that he was doing all this work and never came all that close to his fundraising goal. I just think they didn't really know how to go about properly hyping the

I made a really awesome stuffed spaghetti squash a couple nights ago, stuffed with pancetta, shredded brussels sprouts, onion, red bell pepper, garlic, fontina and parmesan cheese. So good.

Or he was just away on vacation. He got there as fast as he could, but he showed up just after the battle ended.

That's silly, we don't spend all our time on entertainment comment sections. I mean they! They don't spend all their time on entertainment comment sections. Dammit, Eliza, you did it again. Dammit! Why am I still typing!

I'm going to go buzz one out.

I just watched that today. That was so crazy and wonderful. The Martellus Bennett interview was a masterpiece.

I'm pretty sure almost every guy lies about their height, at least. Unless every guy in my city is at least 6'3".

I just joined OKCupid last week (I'm female), so I don't have a lot of experience yet, but I pretty much only respond if the guy mentions something specific about my profile. It's really obvious that a lot of guys have a generic opening line that they use for everyone. The worst ones just say "Hey" but some ask a

Same here. I am not a fan of Westerns at all, but Blazing Saddles is one of my favorite movies (and definitely my favorite comedy). It actually might have been the first R-rated movie I ever saw, because my Dad loved the movie so much he let me watch it at a fairly young age (and my parents were pretty strict about

I just joined Tinder last week, and I've already seen so many profiles that say almost the exact same thing. Almost everyone loves being active, work hard, play hard, etc. Ugh.

I'm not complaining.

I'm so glad we've been having a relatively mild winter here in Chicago (so far, at least). My company doesn't cancel work unless it's really, really bad. In the five years I've been at this job I've only had one and a half snow days, and that was four years ago, I think.

Did he ever go on Craig Ferguson's show? Or, you know, ever acknowledge his existence?

How the hell did he find and post such a perfect response only a minute after your comment?

One time in high school math class, one kid fell asleep, and he was really out of it, so the teacher turned the lights off and we all went out in the hall. The teacher set an alarm clock to go off on his desk and then left the room. He freaked out. It was hilarious.
