I tell all my single girlfriends to give online dating a try. You set up a profile, pick some cute photos, write something witty about the things that you love Beyonce, Hillary Clinton, Battlestar Galactica , list some books you like, and then sit back, kick your feet up, and wait for the messages to roll in. With those, you will send a few messages back and forth before he invites you for a drink.

You will put on some mascara, plunge out into the snow, meet a stranger, and after an hour of slightly stilted conversation, he will grab the check. You will try to split it, but he will pay, and you will stand to re-wrap yourself against the frigid wind. I tell all my single guy friends to watch out for online dating. It is a sad, soul-crushing place where good guys go to die a slow death by way of ignored messages and empty inboxes.

You will look for things in common in their profile they like Scrabble too! You will send them a note, carefully crafted to show interest and attention to detail.
