The Independent: “28 Dates Later: Documenting the search for love amid the weird and wonderful world of online dating”

If you’re looking for a dating blog that’s both humorous and educational, then Willard Foxton’s 28 Dates Later is a good place to start. Sadly his 28 dates have come to an end, but you can find out more about his search in this Independent article.

Looking back over his 28 internet dates he said:

“I’d assumed I’d meet normal people from normal sites, and odd people from the odd ones, but it didn’t work out that way. For example, farmer dating website Muddy Matches sounds like the punchline to a joke, but actually turned out to be a brilliant way to meet plummy young ladies called Tamara who liked horseriding. On mainstream sites, I often found people who were strange – one girl who organised her dating via a giant spreadsheet, for example, and another who started tearfully talking about her suicide attempts by the second drink.”
