Look, there is more - my five favourite Blogs about Horror Dates!

I am not the first person to have this blog idea. I've listed a couple of blogs that deal with the same topic, so have a look around!

One of the first websites coming up on the blog search is www.abadcaseofthedates.com . The reader sees on the first sight what the web page is about: ‘Bad Dates. Funny Stories. Daily’. The blog is clearly aimed at women but everyone is encouraged to send in stories which does not make it gender exclusive. This blog’s design is simple and clear which makes it very pleasant to use, it is hard to get lost anywhere. It also seems to be very popular as nearly every post gets comments discussing the story told. The only distracting thing on the page is the advert that takes a lot of space and can keep the reader from reading the important stuff.

On the website http://disastrousdates.blogspot.com/ even more stories about the dark side of dating can be found. The web page design again is very clearly structured however it is rather difficult to read the texts as it is white writing on black background. The contact button is quite hidden and the site does not really invite the reader to participate and send in stories. A post history makes it easy to navigate through the posts and invites the reader so have a look around. 

The German Blog called http://horrordates.de/  is a very simple websites with the posts on the right sites and “post your story”-box on the left site. There is not a lot else to the site, people can rate and comment on the stories and share them on Facebook or Twitter. The page is free from annoying adverts; the only graphic seems to be the websites logo which shows a rather ugly girl which is a little bit off putting. 

http://onlinedatingdiaries.blogspot.com/ is a blog that does not seem to be very much used. The author posted a couple of stories about dating in L. A. but it seems more like a personal blog rather than communal work where everyone can participate. The Headline ‘Dating is Hell’ gives the theme of the blog away and makes it clear what it is about. However it sounds rather bitter. However it appears like the writer created a new blog which might be worth checking out.  

My personal favourite about terrible dates is the very neat and simple 

http://disasterdatestories.com/. Not only does the headline already explain the purpose of the blog also the first look already leads the reader to the “e-mail in” button. The page design is very simple but still catchy. The ready does not get disturbed by any flashing adverts or pictures but can completely concentrate on the stories. Also the posts can be filtered by attributes like “family and friend set up”/”bling date”/ “online date” which makes it even more fun to read the different stories. 

So snoop around and read through the stories - some of them are hilarious.
