" We have all been there: we see that gorgeous person across the room, and we want to go and speak to them so badly.

" I truly believe that what we're seeing with online dating is very similar to what happened with the Myspace-Facebook era, where Myspace was once this place for online connecting for a very select group of young people.

" There's nothing wrong with taking yourself out of the dating pool.

Instead, take a step back and say, 'I'm OK alone.' "
