Well, the popular dating sim entitled Tokimeki Memorial 4 is taking a trip from digital to print! More »

From Crazysinglelife: According to Satoshi Kanazawa, evolutionary psychologist for the London School of Economics, there is a proven mathematical theorem for why dating (and finding a job) in a large urban area is difficult and frustrating. Those currently single in large cities need not PhD to validate this theorem, but it’s interesting how Kanazawa explains the dating-in-a-big-city conundrum in this video:

From Ningin: As part of the ongoing preview on CrazySingleLife, we’re going to introduce some of the dating stars before the site launches. Each dater on CSL will have an alias derived from a color. They also have to write two posts before they start dating, an introduction post and a Mr./Mrs. Right post. The introduction post is meant as a description of themselves, but not like height, age, occupation. It’s more a window into their soul and the journey that their heart has been on. The second post is an open letter to the future Mr./Mrs. Right so that he or she will know to come calling on our daters.

The following except is from the introductory letter of Steel, one of the two male bloggers for CSL. On Monday, you met Tenne, yesterday you met Cerulean and tomorrow you’ll meet them all. Enjoy! More »
