Sorry about the delay in this Carnival…looks like once a month is the best I can hope for with this kind of crazy schedule… and now, with Passover, I probably won’t get back to writing here for a week. So enjoy the links, explore on your own and write in with your recommendations for the May edition of Mars & Venus Go to Shul…

Mars & Venus

First Date Chick, who became blogfamous for chronicling each of her first dates with a new man, has started seeing someone, and is wondering what that might mean for her blog audience. She might want to check in with Honorary Jew (although I’m not sure that’s a compliment) Ken Wheaton at the Non-Dating Life with his post about “what to do with your dating blog when you’re in a relationship.”

First-timers club….Ladies and gentlemen, the battle of trying to understand another “planet” doesn’t end once you’re married…I give you the Muqata on the subject of Passover cleaning.

First-time Carnivaler Channahboo, at Little Miss Graham, is a triple submission threat as she presents her views on PDA, adventures with Purim costuming, “Got Milk?”and anthropologically ponders the differences between the Jerusalem single woman who is “Desperately Seeking in Katamon” and the “Katamonster“:

The Katamonster deserves no pity as she gives none. She has no pity for the
women she tramples over in the scramble to claim her prize; she has no remorse
for those she leaves heartbroken in her trail; she bares no thought to the
hurtful words she uses to badmouth a competitor.

Whatever happened to sisterhood? Oh yeah, all’s fair in love and the search for love.

You Don’t Look LIke Your Profile (Online Dating Adventures)

Our carnival regulars, Hilary and Annabel Lee, are still struggling with the games of dating and relating with guys they meet online. So check them out in general, now and forever. I mean it.

P-Life, passionate and high-energy as ever, has thrown himself into a new relationship with a woman from California–they’re totally making it work so far, and P-Life took it on himself to sort of semi-retire from his single blogger life, naming me among others as one of the pioneers in the writing about Jewish singles arena. Also calling it quits is JeruGuru.

ILikedYourProfile has launched a “funny dating email contest” that could win you a $20 Starbucks card.

Hilary gives words to the thoughts of many singles who find themselves homeward bound for Passover.

Don’t forget to make your submissions for the next edition of this BlogCarnival, coming in May to a blogspot near you…

Happy Passover and/or Easter…
