Fear of commitment? Follow these tips and get over it.

The truth is that they are experiencing invisible barriers that prevent them from finding the right love. The first step to overcoming these barriers is understanding them. Here are some of the common scenerios:

When meeting someone new, avoid these four conversation-ending topics.
Having a good conversation at a bar or on a first date is like trying to solve a differential equation.

What to say (and not to say) on your online dating profile.
Online dating is haaaaaaaaard. But new research suggests that if you're not having any luck finding love on the Internet, you just aren't using the right words in your profile. Like "zombies" and "atheist"—apparently, just two of the "hot words" for today's single people.

All this buzz over that Baby Name Wizard application had us thinking about names. Particularly names and how they mangle our view of someone upon meeting them. Nameplate Necklaces: An Update
You know what we're talking about. For instance, ever notice how Emily's are a little flaky? Guys with the name Billy always have some sort of an ego problem, and have you ever met a Bethany who wasn't really attractive?
