You know at least <a href="http://nonsenseverse.typepad.com/" rel="nofollow">two</a> <a href="http://miminewyork.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">couples</a> who met through their blogs, and I'm sure there are plenty more out there. I think that blogs, and any form of personal web site, are a stealthy way for the single author to meet likeminded companions without saying so. You should conduct a survey to see how many bloggers out there have ever had romantic encounters with readers of their blog. You can start with me: AYE!

Perhaps you should have posted a photograph with it! And my name is not <strong>PD</strong>! It's Paul. Although, you can call me PD if you like :) Mr Levin

If it is a woman who finds you ‘creepy’ thinks humour is a good start, but thinks that yours sucks and would like you sufficiently humble, although only mildly! Congratulations, I think you just got your first response. All very well if the type of girl you are after is an ‘Alison’ but why not ask yourself what you are actually looking for.

Makes the girl feel like an ass 4. Creepy of course But I do like the idea of using humour as a starter. Keep trying, you'll do better! Just don't be too sexy, mocking, sarcastic or creepy. Perhaps a bit of mild self-deprecation? If done with enough confidence, women love that. NO.

1. Too sexual
2. Too mocking
3. Makes the girl feel like an ass
4. Creepy of course

But I do like the idea of using humour as a starter. Keep trying, you’ll do better! Just don’t be too sexy, mocking, sarcastic or creepy. Perhaps a bit of mild self-deprecation? If done with enough confidence, women love that.
