In a digital world, it’s only natural that just about everyone who’s spent any time single in the last ten years or so has tried an online dating service at one time or another. I’ve done it myself, and I have to tell you… it’s horrible. I don’t know if you know this, but they will let absolutely anyone onto the Internet. Can you imagine? It’s true!

Okay, kidding aside—there are dating sites that are religion based. There are sites around a common pursuit or hobby. And now, there’s also a dating site for the eco-minded; if you’re serious about finding that special someone with whom you can share candlelit organic dinners and long walks along the beach to pick up litter, check out EcoDater. From the site:

EcoDater is an eco-friendly online dating site for green single men and women who care about living a natural, holistic lifestyle. We are environmentalists, vegans and vegetarians, organic farmers, outdoor enthusiasts, eco travelers and many other practitioners of green living.

I love the idea, truly. I think the market is ripe for a site like this, and I hope it helps like-minded folks connect. On the other hand, given the misadventures that often result in the world of blind dating, the cynic in me wonders what sort of problems might crop up. Like… she thought he was a vegan, but it turns out he’s merely vegetarian and thoughtlessly ate cheese on their date! The horror!

Well, I do think it’s fascinating. But I’m also really glad I’m married.
