If you missed the announcement last week, Dating Weblog now has an online social network. You can join to get even more information about this site and to meet other people who read what we write here. But more importantly, we want you to check it out because it's a place where you can share your dating stories with us. If you go to the site, you'll see in the left-hand column that there are two discussions that we've gotten going - one for your worst online dates and one for your best. We want to know the gossip!

No, this isn't just so we can be voyeurs. It's because we know that we're all seeking communities to be a part of and one of those communities should be made up of other people who understand the ups and downs of online dating. By telling others about that awful date that made you almost stop checking out online dating sites (almost), you can find humor in the bad situation. And by sharing your successes, you can celebrate them again and again. We want to be a part of that with you - and your friends, too, so spread the word!
