I actually don’t have many resolutions this year. 2012 was a bang-up year for me. It included starting this site! So of course it was fantastic. The one little thing I’d love to change for this coming year is to be a bit more adventurous and creative when it comes to dating. Everyone — even dating gurus — can fall into a slump of ordering in, watching a movie and snuggling. And of course there’s nothing wrong with doing that. There’s nothing wrong with doing that a lot.

Let’s talk about vajazzling, spaceman slot shall we? For those of you not in the know, vajazzling is badazzling your vagina. And if you’re a woman who feels she needs a little more glitz and glam down south, I say, more power to you. It’s your va-jay-jay and your semi-precious stone collection. Do what you want with them. Recently though, I got asked what men think of vajazzling, and for one of the few times in my life, I was totally speechless. I have no idea what the male perspective on vajazzling is.

If you’re single and not online dating, you’re not trying to find your love. The online search for love is just as valid as singles mixers and even going to a matchmaker like me. Of course, you can’t just throw a picture online and add a one-line bio and expect Prince Charming to waltz right into your inbox. Writing your online profile is kind of an art.

I know what it’s like to be too busy to hang out in places where you could meet other singles and not even have the time to search that dating site you subscribe to. But thanks to dating apps, you don’t need to actually be at your computer to search for love. All you have to do is download the apps to your phone and cruise for dates during that ten-minute taxi ride or that five minutes you’re waiting for your late lunch meeting to show up. Here are five dating apps for quick and accessible dating.
