Blogging to Date and Make Friends

Although using a dating site to meet potential suitors can be a good idea, the truth is that anyone who just puts up a profile on such a site is going to be one person in a crowd of thousands.  It’s hard to stand out, and as we found out in the above example many people will simply ignore a great number of these profiles It may not even be because these profiles are poorly written or that there seems to be  something fundamentally wrong with the people who create them; it’s just that after a while people start to lump together the winners with the duds Dating site profiles may provide a nice introduction to who you are as a person, but in the end an introduction is all it is. A person needs something more if he or she is really going to be interested in getting to know you, and starting your own blog can be a perfect way to truly let people know that you are more than another random person who ‘loves to laugh” While a profile on a dating or social networking site is mostly an unchanging snapshot of yourself and a brief summary of your interests, a blog is more organic. A blog allows you to better express yourself and how you and your passions and interests change from day to day (and yes, people do change, however slightly, on a regular basis). As we found in the above example, blogs can be a great way to meet new people.
Another advantage that starting a blog would have over having just a dating site profile is that a blog entry tends to be a little more off-the-cuff and  spontaneous While you probably spent some time and effort to say just the right thing when you  were creating a profile on your favorite dating site, chances are you aren’t that deliberate and calculating when you sit down and blog after a long day.  People blog for many different reasons  They might be letting off some steam after a difficult day at work, they might talk about how excited they are about going to a concert that weekend, or they might use the format as a soapbox and  give their opinions on current events. The one thing that is true for everyone who keeps a blog is that they’re expressing themselves, and anyone who reads what they write is going to get valuable insight into who they really are.  Naturally, this can be a great resource for people who  are looking for potential dates.
