PROS: Geared toward the hip, affluent crowd. This is the site for the beautiful people.

CONS: This is the site for the beautiful people. Not that we aren’t beautiful, but do we really want to limit the dating pool to pretentious, wannabe actors/actresses in LA? $60 a month. Guess they want to weed out the undesirables, or at least the ones with small balance sheets.

I can send you my thoughts on the other sites if none of these seem to meet your needs. I’m still trying to figure out which one makes the most sense for me.

Once you pick a site, you’ll need to write a profile. Profile formats vary by site. You’ll probably need to put in some personal basics, choose from a list of interests and then write some brief essays. Let me know if you have any questions.

Mark was quite pleased and in true "Finlay Fashion" - as you would call it - has already reviewed all of the top sites and provided me with a pros and cons list of each that would be best for me. What have I gotten myself into? Not the online dating thing. No, I'm talking about entering a project with Mark.

You know I love him. Have ever since the 7th grade when he alphabetized my bat mitzvah invitations for me and set up a spreadsheet for me to track thank you notes. But the boy is so ANAL. Have fun with Preppy Dude. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. Oh wait. Considering I haven’t been on a date in over a year, that would rule out much of anything fun. And Lord knows, you like to have fun ;)

Mixed reviews. The good news. Great sex!!! Who knew he had it in him. Or should I say in me. HA! (I think I've been watching too many “Sex in the City” reruns.) Anyway, the bad news: He's a - I shudder the thought - CUDDLER. You know how I HATE that. Why, oh why must such an amazing romp be spoiled by the heinous act of cuddling. UGH! But, I think I can break him of the habit. At least I'm going to try. It would be well worth it. Trust me. Mwah! Mwah!

How horrible for you. A cuddler. <Insert sarcastic tone>. Great sex and someone who doesn't want to jump out of bed and go home. <Yes, more sarcasm.>

Sorry. I just don't know how you are constantly meeting these men when I’ve resorted to whittling down my life to a few short paragraphs so as to intrigue a man to want to talk with me further. Sorry. Turning 30 and no one to take me out is a bit depressing.
