Hey, if you dump your boyfriend, you'll be happier. How do I know? Because you could be with me.

How do you know you could be with me? Because I'm in your waiting room. No, not in the waiting room at your dental surgery. I'm in your Facebook WaitingRoom.

You might have thought that the Breakup Notifier was enough to make love's course run smoother than your own sometimes coarse behavior has managed to effect. Breakup Notifier is a Facebook app (since blocked by Facebook) that notifies you the minute one of your many crushes became … Read more

Has Christine dumped him yet? He looked like a freak. But, then again, there always Lucretia. Or Marianna. Or Jeffrey. Are they free yet?

It's very hard to keep up with the relationship status of those whom you'd like to get to know better, as in a whole lot better. This is made even more difficult if you happen to have thousands of Facebook friends and at least 20 people of your target sex (or sexes) whose smell you would like to become familiar with.

Developer Dan Loewenherz knows exactly how you feel. That's why he has … Read more

It's almost a week since Valentine's Day and there will be many men who still haven't gotten over what happened on Monday.

Somehow, their date didn't go as planned. Somehow, their date went home, as wasn't planned. Somehow, they are beneath the dumps and desperate for help.

Perhaps, then, they should fire up Skype and talk to Marni Kinrys.

Kinrys is every man's wing girl. She's a wing girl with a method. She calls it the Wing Girl Method. And a highly technological method it is.

The Wing Girl's purpose in life … Read more

This blog has always had love at its heart.

So I know that, at this time of year, those of you who work too hard--or merely drink too much--might be feeling lonely, lost and fearing that you will never again experience the joys of asking someone's name in the morning.

I therefore give you Virtual Dating Assistants. This is a company that does all the online dating for you. Well, most of it.

Virtual Dating Assistants makes heady promises on its Web site. For example: "We do it. You date. Online dating, simplified."

Are you ready for some cheery PR spin? Some deeply thought out, loving, but slightly cold-hearted PR spin?

Alright then. Staples, the people who offer you the Easy button, would like to impart some important personal information to ease your spirit.

For the company has just performed its fifth-annual Small Business Survey (yes, I missed the first four, too) and discovered that techno-love has now superseded the fleshy, inadequate, unsatisfying version in which so many of us still naively believe.

It appears that 60 percent of small business owners admit that they dedicate more time to holding their cell phones … Read more

How much do you know about your lover?

You know, things that they don't know you know, things that you happen to have read when they might have idly left their laptop open on their Gmail homepage.

Or do you, perhaps, know your lover's password and regularly check what they write about you? Do you worry, indeed, that they are unfaithful in body as well as in spirit?

I ask because some enterprising justice-seeking prosecutors in Michigan have decided to bring charges against a husband for reading his wife's e-mail.

Specifically, according to the Detroit Free Press, … Read more

Right now, millions of men all over the world are sweating.

They are poised over their laptops, wondering what to write to a girl whose fetching photograph they have espied on Facebook, eHarmony or, perhaps, Lifestyle Lounge.

They are wondering whether to tell her she has beautiful hair. They are twisted about whether to compliment her eyes, her cheeks or even, perish the daring, her obvious intelligence.

One false step and they will disappear into the trash.

I want to save these men from themselves and their torture. Thankfully, armed with new research from dating site Badoo.com, I bear … Read more

If you have ever been wronged in love, you know there are ways of making those who have crossed you cross.

You can cut up their clothes and hang them from the flagpole of your local town hall. You can send worldwide e-mails suggesting that they have additional body parts not visible to the casual observer. Or you can attempt to truly mess with their heads by getting into their Netflix accounts, and playing with their movie likes and dislikes.

We are, as Mark Zuckerberg might mumble into his pillow late at night, what we like. So who cannot believe … Read more

It seems we can't all get along. It seems that everyone is splitting up these days.

Today, one reads of Eva Longoria filing divorce papers against the San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker. Indeed, the Huffington Post now has a whole section devoted just to divorce.

Can we possibly blame the Church of Social Networking, Facebook, for these woes? Or at least some of them? Might Facebook be to blame for creating so many desperate housewives and husbands?

One man of God, the Rev. Cedric Miller, believes that all married couples should close their Facebook accounts in order to protect … Read more
