Life can suck being single, what with everyone around you asking if you are seeing anyone, which is just a tad quieter in your mind then when you ask yourself that very same question. Why am I single?
I follow quite a few dating coaches and I find myself going through a strange cycle of love and hate.
Online dating has been and remains a large part of how I find new people to interact with. I have been using various sites for over 8 years, and while I have changed what I am looking for (couples only at the moment) I have created for myself a list of Do's and Don't s.

With this has come a rapid increase in online dating sites and apps, designed to bridge a gap between the web and the real world. If any of you have used a dating site in the last few years, you may have felt, as I have that it actually feels as if we are further removed as a result.
