As a single woman (and parent) having some dating trouble (i.e. I can’t get a date), I was invited to download and review a new app, DateMate.
I already have three different dating apps on my iPhone, all of which keep suggesting I date guys who have no ambition in life and don’t seem to understand the “no hookups” part of my profile. I was hoping DateMate would be different.
Oh, boy was it ever.
DateMate is not a dating search application. It’s a dating rating application. It’s a way of tracking and charting your dating and sexual experiences with different “mates.” Basically it’s a little black book for your iPhone. It’ll help you remember if Johnny was a great conversationalist but inexperienced in bed.
It’s simple enough to use. It’s easy to enter data about your partner(s) and see at a glance how your experience has been with him/her over time. The application even has an option to “fake out” your date, in case they ever find it and want to know what it is; you type in a fake username and password, and it’ll show them an error message. The functionality and design are very user-friendly; you don’t have to spend a lot of time on it finding what you want.
As a quasi-conservative person (I’ve NEVER slept with more than one person in a week or month, or long stretch of time for that matter), I find this application useless for me. Which is why I’m glad I got to download it for free to test it out instead of paying $2.99 for it.
If you’re the type of person who has multiple “encounters” with people and wants a way to keep track of them all, then this is the app for you. But if you’re like me and don’t need help remembering who is who because you’re not that “active”, then you don’t need DateMate.

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a year since Blogger Ball 2009. I was just barely a year into blogging and was invited by Marcy to come to this big party. I enjoyed myself, met a TON of cool folks, and was asked why I wasn’t engaged yet after dating my then-boyfriend of 3 months. Good times. . . . → Read More: Blogger Ball 2010

I’m so excited! This Saturday I will sign the lease on my very own apartment! YAY!!! In addition to the freedom of having my own place, I am very much looking forward to reducing one bill from my monthly schedule: my storage unit. For 5 years I’ve stored an apartment’s worth of belongings, thinking . . . → Read More: Material Girl

I’m fairly certain I’ve called every apartment complex with rent in my budget in Orange. Honestly. I’ve used more minutes on my cell phone in the last week than I think I used last month. Made quite a few appointments, got fed up with a few managers. One told me to call back when I decided . . . → Read More: Going on a Lion Hunt

Apparently I’m bad with math…that must be the only explanation.
Ex-husband, “Jake,” left his house at 6:30 PM Saturday evening to drive down here to pick up our daughter for his summer vistation, and made it into Orange County a little after 2:00 PM. That’s 19.5 hours; reasonable considering he said he only stopped to get gas . . . → Read More: Counting is Wonderful

Pets can make such an impact on our lives, become our best friends, give us unconditional love, yet when they leave us, we feel awkward grieving for them. Though their lives may seem short in comparison to our own, they are no less significant than a human friend we have gained. They are our comforters when . . . → Read More: You’re My Best Friend

I don’t hate my ex-husband.
But lately, my feelings toward him have been coming very close to that thin line between toleration and hate.

Ever since our divorce, I have had sole physical custody of my daughter, and joint legal custody. We did our divorce pro se, so we didn’t think things all the way through, and we . . . → Read More: Livin’ on a Prayer
