Can You Date A Blogger?

by Eathan on November 3, 2009

Lately I’ve decided to expand my horizons and meet some of my female readers.  To my surprise, most of my readers are women.  Which means there is a chance of more than just a meeting.  Which creates an interesting conflict.  Should I write about a woman who is a reader?  Or would you date someone who writes about you in a blog?

A couple years ago, I met LisaQ from 20-forty.com.  She wrote about me and yet it didn’t bother me at all.  It didn’t matter if she had good or bad to say about me, it never bothered me.  Maybe it’s different for men than women.

I’ve met several women who are readers of my site.  Most of them knew me before I began writing on IDW.  Only one of them didn’t want me to write about her, because her off and on again boyfriend also read my site.  Of course, I didn’t divulge anything that would disclose her identity and I kept most of our rendezvous private.  But over the last few months, I’ve had lengthy conversations with a couple readers.  One wants to remain annomous and another is open to my writings.   288  320x240 writing Can You Date A Blogger?

One of the white women mentioned that even if we’re just lovers it would be difficult to read about my social activities with other women.  Even though we both understand that we’re not in a exclusive relationship, does reading my site make it that much difficult?

Do I meet every female reader?  No. I’ve had one that has stalked me for almost a year.  When she 1st approached me, I entertained the idea of a rendezvous.  But when I had a weird feeling and turned her away.  Since then, she has tried to maintain contact via email, facebook, and everything else that you can imagine.

Would you date someone if you knew they were writing about you in a blog?

I’ve wondered this myself at times. I’m pretty sure I could not date a blogger. I like to keep my relationship stuff kinda private. I would not be a fan of someone puting my biz all in the street, particularly if things didnt work out. I dont have a prob when it comes to meeting bloggers and them possibly writing about me tho. Relationships, to me, are a whole other ball game.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm I think that as long as you keep her identity a secret and she understood it is for “ENTERTAINMENT” purposes only and that whatever you say on here you would say to her face then I do not think she should have a problem. And being the stick in the MUD that you are ha ha ha I am sure you would never have a problem telling her how you feel in her face! hahaha who knows it just might be a good experience for you both! hahahaha
