MSNBC Article Who wants to be my husband? A twenty-six year old’s online search for “the one” By Cathy Finkler The dating world is vicious. Millions of singles are looking for “the one,” suffering through one bad date after another. Blaire Allison is not going to let the horrors of the dating world scare her away. At 26, the self-proclaimed “love guru” is taking her love life into her own hands. Determined to be engaged by December 2004, Blaire launched a website “Do you know my husband?” to open her search for “the one” to the mass market and maybe speed it up a bit. Her webpage leaves no stone unturned. It includes a description of her “future husband” (must be between the ages of 25-32 tall, Jewish, and athletic). She gives a complete statistical description of herself and a Internet diary describing her search as well as a “Countdown to Engagement” clock. There are also pictures and commentaries about the men she's met since the site was conceived, comically entitled, “Not My Husband.” There's even a poll to see if the readers agree with her choices. Allison shouldn't have any problem dating: Aside from being attractive, she was also once employed as a matchmaker for a show on Warner Brothers TV. She also works as a dating coach. On her other website Loveguru.net, she offers to "teach, encourage, and support... in the game of love." She's also the CEO of Metro Event Planners, an event-planning company designed to match singles, among other things. She's been involved in Internet dating since 1997. A native of Bergen County, NJ and a graduate of the University of Miami, Allison has gained nationwide attention. Her story was featured recently in "The New York Times" and her site has been overrun with messages from potential husbands and daily well-wishes. With all this publicity, will Allison be able to find “the one” by December? |
