Time for a refresh!
BY GREER MCDONALDDearest blog reader,
There comes a time in every dating blogger's career when they need some time out from entertaining and informing the masses to well, recover, take a breath and sort out some new topic ideas.
I'm going to take a week's break from blogging this week starting today, but rest assured I will be back next week.
In the meantime, feel free to keep commenting here. Talk amongst yourselves, leave ideas for future topics, discuss and dissect the past, present and future with gay abandon.
Please email me at greer2.0@gmail.com with any ideas or questions you have (including the last chances to have your say on the reasons it's good to be single!).
Is there another series of blog posts I should start, do you think?
Otherwise you can follow my updates on Twitter, or join the Facebook page to get regular updates from this blog.
Arrivederci!

@ Kim
I like your idea of guest blogging. Let's take over this space this week!
Here's a topic that I don't think Greer has covered: okCupid is a dating website in the US that has been crunching some numbers to look at how well people match each other, and what behaviour gets responses.
The posts are all here: http://blog.okcupid.com/ It's a blog, so the first post is at the bottom of the page.
Some examples: - zodiac has no effect on compatibility or replies at all - text speak significantly lowers your chance of a reply - don't compliment people's looks on your first message - don't take your religion (or your atheism) too seriously - 14% of straight men would like their partner to "put a strap-on inside" them - and a whole bunch of stats on reply-rate by race
My possible topic is: I've noticed that a lot of singletons on this and the other blogs complain about smug-marrieds making them feel inadequate for not wanting to have a family etc. What I want I to know is a) do these people really exist? b) why would you hang out with these people if they make you feel this way? c) why do you care what they think? d) are you just imagining these sniping comments (aka are you jealous and/or do you have chip on your shoulder?)
I'm genuinely curious! I was single for much longer than I've ever been in a long term relationship, and I've never experienced this, and I'd like to think I've never done this to my single friends.
Hellooooooooo ooooooo ooooo oooo ooo oo o
I have been single for many years and would like just to go out and meet other singles. The reality is not that easy...
I have been saying No to some people and would like to say Yes for a change. The reality is not that easy...
Well, there are some singles events happening in Wellington, I just have to go and say Yes. Wish me luck!
Come on people she said talk among yourselves and discuss possible blog topics. How about music you have and listen to that you wouldnt admit too?
Wow, 7 comments in 5 days. We're not doing so well with this talking amongst ourselves thing are we.
Greer, I love your blog - could you switch to writing about general life stuff like Jane & Moata? this might give you a little more scope?
Also really enjoyed the time (Jane?) had guest bloggers; could we have a guest blog once a month? I think there are a few budding bloggers in the comments section!
