The Great Blog Dating Experiment
Anita invited some of us over for dinner this evening. The conversation was brisk.
BLAMB: You have all these dating stories I haven't heard!
ANITA: You never asked.
 BLAMB: What? I need to ask?
ANITA: Right now I want to expand my dating pool.
BLAMB: Have you tried Lavalife?
ANITA: I'm kind of lukewarm on that idea.
BLAMB: Hey, maybe you could get dates through my blog. Readers who are interested in hearing more about you can email me at happycreature[at]gmail[dot]com.
ANITA: Does it work? Have you tried it before?
BLAMB: I've set up readers with readers and readers with bloggers on occasion, but I've never tried using the blog to pitch dates. It would be a good experiment; a logical extension of past activities.
ANITA: Ok, let's do it! 
JEN: What about Karim?
RON: Yeah, he's single.
KARIM: Should I?
BLAMB: It's win-win. You might get dates and you'd be helping to expand the blogging frontier.
KARIM: Do you have any gay readers?
BLAMB: Sure, probably ... I don't know who my readers are. I doubt this is even going to work on the first try. It's an experiment.
KARIM: Okay, I'm in.
BLAMB: Great, any guys interested in hearing more about Karim can email me at happycreature[at]gmail[dot]com, too.
 ANITA: You should mention his cooking. He'll get dates on his brunches alone.
KARIM: Well, I can't guaratee brunch.
ANITA: Some dates are unbrunchable.
BLAMB: Ha ha ... if this works and you both get dates, you'll owe me BIG TIME!
As we chowed down on the dessert Karim had prepared, I thought of the fantastic potential of blog dating.
