What is the bright side of online dating? And no, this is not a trick question.

Since it’s Valentine's day, I thought I’d seize the opportunity and offer a friendly reminder to singles feeling extra triggered on this commercially hyped up day. Roses, chocolate and the color red began filling isles weeks ago to assure nobody forgets the day of love. Many claim today is dedicated to celebrating all kinds of …
