I was going to write about a recent activity I have taken up, which is meeting people on match.com. Ooookay, everyone relax. It's not a big deal. It's actually less a deal than you might think. You post your photo, you get e-mails, you respond (or not) and then you maybe find yourself going to dinner, drinks, perhaps bowling or something similar. You get to know a little bit about the person beforehand (or a lot, depending on how much time you spend corresponding) and then you finally get to see if you click.. all whilst chatting with others.

But, what happens if your friends post too? You would never recycle dates in the "real world". In the real world you are probably out all together, and if some guy wants to pick you up he has to choose one of you. Not so much here. He can be winking and e-mailing friends, roomates, sisters, co-workers... You could unknowingly wind up "in-competition" over some dude with your girfriends.
...and that's a game no girl needs to play.
