A couple of weekends ago, I went out to a bar with one of my girlfriends who was visiting from out of town. (Let's call her Linda.) We met up with a group of friends and Linda started chatting and flirting with a guy who was part of our extended group.

Yesterday geek and I launched a new feature called Tech Dating 101 which is aimed at answering all your dating questions in relation to this new age of technology we're living in. Our first question tackled dating status on online profiles, and Hiding55 brought up a great point when people suggested to keep your status as "single" until you're married to avoid confusion. She said that she doesn't consider herself "single" when she's in a relationship, and I completely agree.
