Glamour has launched a small blog network that includes a reality-tv style dating blog called
See Alyssa Date. The blog will feature the actual dating experiences of reporter Alyssa Shelasky. Huffington Post's Eat the Press
explains how this dating blog will work. You can also read Alyssa's
introductory post where she welcomes readers to her love life.
Maybe I'm just too good at being single. Maybe I'm just not ready for a relationship. Who knows, maybe I grew up watching too many soaps. These are things I ask myself when I wonder why, after all my relationships, hot dates and hookups, I’m still so single.
I left New York three months ago to escape a future-less relationship with a guy who couldn't commit (I know, shocker). I am still madly in love with him, some might even say addicted to him, yet forbidden to even say his name to friends and family who know it will only cause more heartache.
Until this guy, I had never really had my heart broken. I'd always been the one to walk away (which isn’t necessarily easier): Two years ago, I called off an engagement to The Perfect Man. Something just wasn't right. I was having panic attacks while registering for cappuccino makers and matching bathrobes.
Alyssa also has a

Glamour's blog launch also includes
Life With Cancer by Erin Zammett Ruddy,
Glamour editor and leukemia patient.
Glamour's network also includes
beauty,
gossip and
fashion blogs. Other Conde Nast sites like
Janemag.com,
Self and
Domino have also debuted blogs.
Self has a small network of its own with blogs
