Behavior - College Kids Blog for Dates!

Lonely? While college is the free ticket with the four year expiration date to act crazy and date like there’s no tomorrow, for most students, it’s a pretty lonely time. Pretending to have fun at the keg party, when they’d rather be home watching Survivor and eating pizza. Loneliness abounds. Blog!!

Most college kids don’t have the confidence that comes with age and experience to hit the online dating services, which has led them to the ‘tween world between high school proms and full fledged blind dates: blogs.

What they are: Blogs is the nickname for weblogs, which are journals that people (and epidemic numbers of college kids) put online. When you blog, you leave yourself open to responses. Anyone can respond to your daily entries, online, and you can respond back! This is the brilliant way that college kids today meet. It’s Jane Austen and Emily Post meet Bill Gates.

How to find one: Livejournal.com was one of the original blogs. But there are millions of ways to put yourself out there, or just lurk until you feel like responding! Blogs are often specific to your city, your ethnicity, or the ethnicity you’d like to get involved with, your political bent, sexual preference, even your diet — vegan bloggers unite! To find one that suits you, ask around, surf the web or use a search engine.
