I'm sure this headline has you a bit confused. "You smell prettier than a big basket of Christmas cakes" is one of the compliments I came up with to include in the Dating Tales list of
funny compliments -- and it's my favorite funny compliment of the bunch so I just had to make it a headline.
If you are new to Dating Tales, then it's time you be introduced…

Today marks the day that my
Compliment Challenge must come to end.
In a way I'm happy because I can devote more time to the topic I'm most fascinated with: dating. But it's also a little sad because in the process of all this complimenting I've met a lot of other bloggers and interesting people doing great things that are just downright compliment worthy.
So in a struggle to find…

Now here's a great idea for beautifying our parks, neighborhoods, and forests -- bomb them with flower seeds.
The Web site/blog
Eco Localizer wrote a great post on creating little balls of seed, clay, and compost that can easily be tossed (not actually bombed, that was just to get your attention) just about anywhere.
The goal: A little friendly guerrilla gardening.
Eco Localizer and the author Becky Streipe deserve a compliment…

handbag fascination.

Today I give a compliment to everyone that has tried, continues to try, and is mustering up the courage to try online dating.
Online dating is not an easy thing to do. Your picture is out there for the world to see and you worry your family or co-workers will find you there.
Although it can be tough, online dating is an excellent way to meet people and it must be said…

Who doesn't love a good story, or as I like to call them, a tale?
I recently picked up a copy of John Truby's The Anatomy of a Story and I'm already a huge fan of the guy. I like Mr. Truby and the book that details
storytelling techniques so much that I even made a Squidoo lens about.
If you are a…

I found a blog that is very honest about dating and I admire it. It's nice to read about someone's love life that is truthful and revealing. The blog is called Sex, Lies, and Dating in the City and you should see it.
She wrote a post about when and where it's
okay to call someone a boyfriend for the first time and whether or not it is reciprocated. Universally…

The highly-acclaimed author, Bob Sutton, has a strict rule against assholes at work, and I like it. I'm self employed now, but the days of working with assholes is strong in my memory. His book,
The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't
, is one worth reading and certainly one worth sharing with your…

I'm a little behind with my complimenting. With all the crazy holiday madness, I got distracted. I finally found the time today though, on Christmas, go figure.
My first compliment goes to the Mummy Chronicles. I don't always relate to mommy blogs, but this gal's got a very nice writing voice and she makes me laugh -- especially when she talks about how her child encourages her
beer consumption. If…
