It’s summertime and love is in the air. While I’m lucky enough to have an amazing long term boyfriend, most girls our age are still playing the dating game. Online dating sites like EHarmony.com and Match.com have been everywhere lately- from billboards to TV’s to your sister’s computer screen.

Maybe you have something specific that defines your personality or a certain style of living that cannot be compromised in a romantic relationship.

Nerdpassions.com- Got beat up a lot in high school? Here’s your opportunity to swap stories about being shoved into lockers with a kindred spirit. Hook up with your fellow pocket-protector carrying, technology obsessed, thick glasses wearing nerds.

Gothicmatch.com- Goths need love too. Fair enough. However, this site also claims to cater to vampire singles. Creepy enough for you?

420dating.com- A lonely pothead’s dream. Indulge in your favorite illegal activity with someone you love. I just hope the cops don’t find your profile…
