I can't date you- you blog too much.

Blogging- it's the new forum for shit talking.

You can say anything you want on a page whether it be true or not and your readers will follow you for the ride. Of course it's more therapeutic if you tell the truth- but I'm talking about those his story, her story, and the truth type blogs.

Not all dating is upfront.You get to know each other- figure out where you fall on the "I like you scale"- and if both sides agree, well you move on from there. Those moments however when you're gauging each other and sending texts/bbms and calling each other you have to be careful with how strong you come on.

You really have to be careful when the object of your affection is a blogger. And a popular one.

You begin to worry that you aren't witty enough- and it will become a blog topic. Or that you talk too much- and it will become a blog topic. Or that something about you irks him/her the wrong way - and you become a blog topic. We won't even go into what occurs when you date and if you break up. Yeesh.

So I'm curious- people who write really successful blogs...do they not date their readers or do they not tell new people that they blog. Are we better off not knowing what inspirations we have in the cybersphere? Nothing sucks more than a 1,000 people commenting on a situation and that situation is named y-o-u.
