It's time to turn the tragedy that is my dating life into comedy gold, so along with New York raconteur and man-about-town Jason Wishnow I've started a Twitter account to do just that. Tune in for Tinder's Greatest Hits- you'll want to immediately ask your loving, stable, long-term partner for an open relationship. I look forward to the forthcoming book deal, appearance on "Good Morning America," and marriage proposals from prisoners.

I co-host this semi-weekly exploration of topics related to authenticity, self-improvement and love. In the first couple episodes, we discuss ideas like what's wrong with creeps, how to date for your future self, going on dates vs being in a relationship, and the like. The show has a strong voice, which I hope represents the earnest effort of two young guys trying to figure this stuff out.

Just put the finishing touches on my second book. It's free for Tuesday and Wednesday for you MeFites (Kindle-only). I like to think of it as the counterpoint to eHarmony's 29 dimensions. Instead of too many checkboxes for your partner to meet, how about two? I believe this principle strikes the right balance between subjective and objective ways of thinking about relationships.

Purely anonymous online dating blunders for the amusement of all. Sometimes the best pick-up lines have to be crafted meticulously in advance.

So anyhow, a friend of mine decided that the problem with romantic dating sites is that they're not really sex-positive enough, and adult dating sites don't seem people positive enough ... and if you want to sign up as a couple pretty much anywhere, forget it. So we started working on it and a year later, here it is - adult dating for singles and couples without the sleaze.
