Truth is... exercise some common sense practices and you'll find Internet Dating safe, enjoyable and even rewarding.  It's the way millions worldwide are coming together. 

Harnessing the power of the Internet greatly enhances your ability to find your match (and for them to find you)!

We encourage you to participate on several Internet Dating sites.  The sites we advertise allow you to search their entire list of eligible singles without charging you a dime (or even asking for a credit card).  You really should check 'em out -- thousands of singles add their profiles every day! 
 

Here's the place to submit your stories!

That's right!

We'll pay you $5 for each story you submit that we publish!

There is only one requirement: You must have a valid PayPal account and you will need to provide us with your PayPal username, so we can deposit your earnings in your account. Please understand, we cannot go to the extra time and expense of sending out checks and that's why you must have a PayPal account to claim this reward. If you don't have a PayPal account, you are still welcome and encouraged to submit your stories, we simply cannot pay you for them.

 

Guidelines for Story Submissions

Anonymity: This is the most important thing to keep in mind. Please don't include any real names, usernames, cities, places, etc. that could result in the identification of either you or the person you're referring to. 

Profanity and Sexually Explicit Content: While we have nothing against such material, we ask that your stories not exceed an "R" rating.  If you get too explicit, we'll have to edit your story or exclude it.

Story Length: We suggest you keep the length of your story to less than 500 words, but we do not limit the length.  If it's a 'good one' and longer than 500 words we may publish it as is.

Editing: We suggest you write your story using your word processing program so you can check it for spelling, etc.  Then copy and paste it into our Form below.  Please be advised that we may edit your story for length and appropriate content. 

Privacy and Contact Info: We would like you to provide us with your valid email address, but rest assured, this will not be published on our site.


Story Themes

We've divided our Internet dating stories into the following themes.  If none of these match your story, then submit it under "Something Else".

Bad Break-ups: So things didn't work out...it's a shame, but what's worse was the way it was handled!

Cyber Stalkers: Some people just don't know when to back off!

Disappearing Acts: Do you have some 'creative' ways to bug out early on a first date?  Or been surprised to hear from someone you thought dropped off the face of the earth?

Fatal Attractions: It's no wonder why this is the worst date movie of all time...but have you had your own "Fatal" experience you'd like to share?

Just Plain Weird! Sometimes there's no other way to describe some people's behavior...

Misrepresentations: Their picture or how they described themselves did not match the real person.

Pick Up Lines: Some 'lines' are so ridiculous you gotta ask, "Has that EVER worked for you?"

Ridiculous Rendezvous: Didn't pick the 'ideal' place to meet? Sometimes even hooking up with a person you've never met can be a challenge.

Strange Encounters: Tell us about the time you left your 'date' thinking, "That was about the strangest situation I've ever been in!"

The Nerve! Don't even try to figure out where some people get the nerve to do the things they do...just tell us all about it!

Something Else: Can't decide where your story fits, then use our miscellaneous category.
