Dear Dating Diary

Filed in archive on August 23, 2007

Have you ever thought about keeping a journal about your online dating experiences? It could be more beneficial than you might think. Many people use a daily journal just to get their thoughts out of their head and on to the page where they are less threatening and more manageable. This means that you can write about your fears and work through them without affecting your relationships.



More importantly, you can use the insights gained from your dating journal to improve upon your Online Relationships. By keeping track of the kind of people that you are meeting, the dates that you are going on and the feelings that you are having about all of it, you clarify your own desires to yourself. As you get a better grasp on what you want from an online relationship, you can alter your profiles and dating searches to reflect your newfound information.



Journaling comes naturally to most online daters who are already used to doing a lot of writing. Keep in mind that the journal should be for your eyes only, not for the dating community. It's a way of keeping tabs on yourself for your own benefit. Besides, it'll be a lot of fun to look back on later when you're ready to laugh about some of your dating experiences!
