I fell in love with this picture as soon as I saw it! Spotted it in the official Sex and the City movie Blog (click here to read it) and it’s taken from a Vogue article on the movie.

I spoke with a friend of a friend yesterday who just got a membership at Match.com and is now obsessed with it. She joined less than a week ago, and already has 3 dates lined up for next week. Generally, I would be the first one to say “it’s not for me” or “I’d never try it, it’s lame” but this girl is cool, smart and good looking, and if she likes it so much, there must be something to it.

She inspired me to write the following – in her words and mine:

1. First rule: Don’t be apprehensive – just dive in. Just make that first account to try it out. If you don’t like it, you’re not forced to keep using it.

2. Think of it as a 3 month meal plan! – you’ll get to eat at amazing restaurants and hopefully not pay too much, depending on the type of guy you went on a date with.
3. A lot of young people are doing it! Everyone I know who is dating online at the moment and openly talks about it, is young, very outgoing, smart, and good looking. I am not exaggerating here either.
4. Why did they get into it? one of them was out of boredom, and another because he just moved to a new city, and another because that’s what all his friends were doing. A girlfriend even called Match.com the new facebook because Match.com is apprantly just as addictive and fun.

So ladies, and gents, don’t be shy or look down upon it. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
