Let Slip the Blogs of Love

Let Slip the Blogs of Love - - Instapundit notes the first known blog-induced marriage, and a number of dates that have started in the blogosphere.

I can contribute the dark side of the story, naturally.

A while ago, a friend tried to set me up for a blind date with a female friend of his.

We talked on the phone. Everything was hunky-dory. Maybe a little better, in fact.

Then, she googled me. And read my blog. And I got an email:

I just read your blog. I'm sorry, but I'm a good, peace-loving liberal. I could never date a conservative.

In addition, I support Citizens for a Safer Minnesota, and therefore I could never date someone with your beliefs on guns.

My response?

Hey, we all make mistakes. I was a liberal once, too.

Actually, I did send that.

I'm still grinning about it.

I'm also still very single.

Ah, well.
