The Single LifeKimmie on the Prowl: Dinner With Strangers
You set up an online account on this site that posts different dinner "dates". When one interests you, you sign up to dine in a group setting. I finally found one on a night that I was off, so I signed right up for dinner; forty minutes away. Apparently no one actually dates in my current city.

In Love70-Year-Old Virgin Seeks Love (and Sex!)
She goes on to say, “I may be 70, but I’m young at heart. People can’t believe it when I tell them my age. I think I look great, maybe because I’ve never been married or had kids. I’m fun and have bundles of energy.”

The Single LifeKimmie on the Prowl: Recharge the Dating Battery
After some contemplation, I decided to make the one call that would send my entire support system into a tailspin. To call to the one person who I could just be nothing and just "be". An hour later, I left my front door open, as he no longer has a key, and crawled in bed until my ex crawled in beside me.

Bobby's WorldSpruce Up Your Online Dating Profile
As I’ve written about before, I have helped a friend scour different sites seeking a perfect mate for him. I even went as far as to write his personal profile. The number of profiles littered with poor grammar, awful spelling and embarrassing content is quite sad. I can’t tell you how many profiles I’ve run across with things like, “Im a kewl person n love to meet new ppl.” Gag.

The Single LifeKimmie on the Prowl: Dating in a Downward Spiral
Now I don’t run my love life play by play by anyone, as I trust myself and my judgment. But I have a friend at work, JR, who usually gets the bullet point version. After a quick recap, without me voicing my fear he said, “Yeah, he’s just not that into you.”

The Single LifeRomance: Too Much to Ask For?
Unfortunately, the same idea exists when talking about relationships, romance, and love. Even if you’re just talking about what you hope to find in a potential boyfriend, people do not hesitate to shoot you down before you have a chance to even daydream a little about what he might look like and where you’ll meet.

The Single LifeKimmie on the Prowl: Check ‘Yes’ or ‘No’
Speed dating was actually pretty fun! A timer would buzz after five minutes and the men would then move on to the next woman, and we all diligently took notes on our date cards about the person we just met. There was also a "Yes" or "No" we could circle and after the event we were to log in and input our choices. If both parties selected "Yes," we would instantly be emailed a notification.

The Single LifeKimmie on the Prowl: Lock Me Up and Throw Away the Key
I left to pick up my friend Kylie, who was going with me to the lock and key event. The venue was pretty cool; it was held at a trendy bar with a fire and ice theme that neither of us had been to. The idea behind this mixer is the men get keys, the women locks, then you go around and mingle to find a key that opens the lock.

In LoveKimmie on the Prowl: Speed Dating on the Web?
After last week's online dating mis-match, I was leery about meeting anyone from internet in person again. Still determined in my quest to experience the new ways singles meet (and avoid a future crazy-dog-lady title) I stumbled upon speed dating...online.

In LoveKimmie on the Prowl: (Awkward!) Online Date
My date arrived. In a flannel shirt. Not like hot, J-Crew-I'm-still-glistening-from-all-the-wood-I-chopped-here-are-my-sexy-abs-flannel; like 80's flannel. Not even just bad 80's flannel, like my-worn-out-pajamas-from-when-I-was-nine-are-in-better-condition, flannel. This is what I changed eight times for?!
