Last minute shopping? Try Online Dating Gift Cards...

Yes, I'm not kidding.  Tonight, I was going to write a cutesy post wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and thanking you all for visiting and following my blog for the last couple of months.  But in usual fashion... I got distracted!  I googled, "dating and Christmas" for a possible quick one liner or something cutesy. 

So, according to ADInews.com, one of the "best" last minute Christmas gifts is an online dating gift membership.  Apparently, it became a very popular gift last year.  My guess is it's the gift of choice by noisy mothers and grandmothers who are a just a little too interested in your single status (whether you are male or female).  Nothing like waking up on Christmas morning and opening a gift card... saying that you are alone.  Talk about a buzz kill.  Note, that many singles are already feeling a bit depressed this time of the year because they are constantly reminded they are single, let's just rub it in a little more. 

My advice, just don't.  Don't ever give a gift of online dating membership!  I'm a huge proponent of online dating, but choosing to do so should always be the choice of the individual!
