7 Dating Blogs That Rock

courtesy of Spree2010

I have said it before and I will say it again. Relationships in probably the one topic that is of interest to every single person in the world. Asides the advice blogs in the latest two posts, the Internet is also full of personal blogs that deal mainly with relationships and dating. Besides being plain fun, and often a good read, reading other peoples experiences is a good way to learn from others mistakes and triumphs. Its also really nice to know that you are not alone in what might seem like a seemingly endless search.

I thought I would make it easy for you, and present you with a list of 7 personal relationship blogs that are really different from each other. Hopefully, you will all find your personal cup of tea here.

• The Quest for T is not a relationship blog in the strictest context of the word, its more a personal blog dealing with all sides of life, among them, relationships. The Author, T, is a single mother, and her juggling of life kids love and work is something lots of women, and single parents deal with. Equality of the Sexes? is a great post dealing with all the above, but most particularly with truisms about men and women in relationships. Definitely worth a read. Familiar?

• When a Woman’s Fed Up’s author NML is the same Natalie Lue who writes Baggage Reclaim, a blog I wrote about a couple of weeks ago in my advice blogs post. Even thought she hasn’t updated this blog in a while, I wanted to mention it here, both in hopes that she will write again soon, and also because her writing is so fantastic, its just a pleasure to read. Although its way passed Valentines day by now her post V-Day Memories: The One Where I Got Engaged & Then Contemplated Climbing Out the Window is an absolute must read. Besides being extremely funny, its nice to know that you are not alone in going against your judgment, and even nicer to know that you can back out, better late than never.

• Sex Lies and Dating in the City is a superb relationship/dating blog which I really enjoy reading. (Sorry Simone, I know you don’t like labels…:-)) Other than being well written it is also thought provoking and smart. Never Love Someone More Than They Love You… What about the opposite? is actually a poll post. I am not sure what my answer would be to this one. what would yours be?

• Don’t Be a **** ’s author is a writer, which in my opinion is one of the most important components in a great personal blog. Its kind of like reading short stories, or chapters in a novel, except that the stories are real, real time stories. I love her writing style. for example Abusive Relationship ( an old post). I found this post because I read a more recent one, and clicked on one of the links in it, which lead me to this post. She does a lot of linking to her own posts, so you can read back on what you have missed if you are new to her blog. Its like reading a book without paying attention to the order of the chapters. Cool.

• Loverville: the trials and tribulations of one woman’s dating life in NYC, is like listening to or having a conversation with a friend about her relationships, giving the reader a nice intimate feeling. Once again, my only complaint is that she updates her blog on a monthly basis, and I would much rather read it on a weekly basis. her latest post The boyfriend. Well that was her latest post, end of last week when I sat down to write this post. since then, she has posted another latest post putting her blog on hiatus since things seem to be going will with the above mentioned boyfriend. How nice. I can only wish a similar end to all dating bloggers.

• Diaries of a Disillusioned Dater is the only guy in this list, which is quite unintentional. I would have liked to include more blogs by guys, but unfortunately, most of those I have found have explicit content. Anyway, back to our Disillusioned Dater - Marc writes about his dates, and by the title of his blog, you can imagine that the post are not necessarily lovey dovey. Down right side splitting funny, is more like how I would define most of them. I couldn’t decide which post would be the better sample, so I decided on two. De Que Esta Hablando, Lady? and Diaries of a Disillusioned Dater: The book …And Tales of Lost Urine. congrats on the book. If the blog is anything to go by, I am sure it will hit the best seller list in half a second.

• PT - LawMom is a blog by a divorcee single mom lawyer. She writes about all aspect of her life, which as you can see from the line or two I have written, is pretty full. At this point in her story she is just about to get remarried, is very pregnant, and will probably get married on a stool, since she is supposed to be on bed rest. Sound interesting?
