You know my opinion! Love ya for who ya are, or screw ’em! This is part of what you do…you don’t rip anyone apart, you are just honest! It’s like dating an actor that has to kiss on stage, accept it as part of the relationship…

Yea! I voted 2nd date too. What do I win?
Seriously – I found your blog a few days ago and it has kept me entertained at work on more than one occasion. Thx for sharing your life for the purpose of my enjoyment. 🙂
You are totally welcome Lisa. Thanks for reading. Is this “the” Lisa? The Lisa of the Bahia Hotel in 1984 and friend of the Actress? If so, how you doing girl? If not, thanks for reading and it’s very nice to meet you!
Third date, no later. That way, if they completely freak out about the possibility of their life being internet fodder, you haven’t invested that much in the relationship. Plus, you can probably judge by then whether or not they will “get it”.
I picked fourth date or longer only because I think it depends. I think it would be fine to tell them on the first date if you felt they would react well to it. Depends on how much of ‘you’ you want them to see and how soon you want them to see it. 😉 Blogs tend to be such personal things. And people get curious about them once they know you have them. So even if you don’t give them a link or the info to find it, they could probably find it on their own anyway. 🙂
I say get that shit right out there up front. Or only date bloggers. Or hookers. Whichever.
How about blogger hookers?
