As you know, OBC is a dating site that promotes, fun, casual dating, without having to promise marriage just to get a date. We think hook ups are fun, and booty calls are better, and finding someone you are sexually compatible with can be just as important a moment as finding someone you are “emotionally” compatible with. That being said, we’re still logical human beings, and we know that there are difficulties in the dating world, especially when it comes to...

    I don’t know if it’s the warmer weather (it’s 90 degrees in San Diego), the celebration of Osama’s death getting people riled up (gross), or the Royal Wedding, but people have been talkin’ sex this week. Not only are Australian dudes having “too much” sex, but fat people are “unsatisfied,” and now single parents might be more DTF!?   According to Jezebel, that is the case – based on a Match.com survey, 21% of...

Continuing on with our series on dating how-tos, we go from avoiding first date awkwardness to something way worse: How To End an Awful First Date. We’ve all been there. You’re out with that guy or girl you’ve totally been crushing on, but it’s just. Not. Working.

Because this is a casual dating site (and because we are normal human beings who don’t live in Disney princess movies), we know there is no such thing as love at first sight. We also know that first dates are notoriously awkward. AND we know that for the most part, the first date is just getting you closer to...

Last week we talked about cleaning up your dating headline, turning it from a repulsive beast into a stunningly attractive belle of the ball. This week in BCU How Tos, we thought it a good idea to discuss the REST of your profile. Whether you’re on OBC looking for a hot night out with a fun singleton, or on some other site looking for long term (barf, vom, ick), we’re here to give you the run down on the awesome “yes, please!”s and the terrible “no,...

To be honest, I’ve always thought that dating site “headlines” were a little silly. It’s less words than a Twitter update and supposed to give the singles on the site a real idea of your entire personality… how is that fair? Still, though, we rarely see even a halfway decent headline on most dating sites, and many are just straight-up disasters. So how do YOU make your dating headline stand out from the crowd? Or at least not be the over-weight kid...
