Lavalife
06 May 2003 by AL
One day I came across these really cool illustrations of little male and female hipsters in a pop-up window. They looked very similar to Kirsten Ulves work, which I love. I clicked not paying much attention to the words. It led me to lavalife. I lost myself for the next half hour discovering what so many do to meet. I didnt realize how many people use these online dating services. Many of them didnt look like sleazy pimps which led me to believe that normal people like you and me try online dating services too. Is it really that hard to meet people the old-fashioned way? Or is Lavalife just so great?

What? You've never tried online dating?! You and your ilk are dwindling in number, bub, as all the online daters wander off into the sunset together.
Nerve, by all reports, is the best.

if it's the same guy who does the lavalife ads on the subway here, the illustrator you saw is marcos chin - has a great style.

I am a 39 year old mother of two. I have not been in the dating scene for long, and I am little intimidated by it all. I would like to find someone who is interested in finding a friend to build a strong relationship with. I am a fair and honest person who treats people as I would like to be treated (with respect and compassion). I enjoy having fun with my friends and family. I do like down time to be with someone special.
