I’m assuming many of you followed me over from TF, but surely not all of you. I know there are lots new readers in the almost two years (!) since this site launched. So, I’m curious: how did you find the site/me?

Dear Wendy.
Hi Wendy! Â I was searching for advice when I found you. Â I had not dated for 20 years while I was busy raising and supporting my son, and I needed to find out how dating is done these days. Â I had just gone out on my first date in decades, and a couple of days had passed and my date hadn’t called me, so I was trying to find out if that was normal. Â (It worked out OK, we are still dating– infrequently but exclusively.) Â I’ve learned a lot about dating and relationships from you and the DW community even though most of you are so much younger, thanks!
December 5, 2012 at 11:13 am #47706I found your regular life blog back when I was reading a lot of blogs about single life and love and you were in Chicago. I was also reading Sarah Brown and Pretty Crabby and a bunch of others at the time. I followed you over here from City Wendy.
December 5, 2012 at 11:24 am #47711Found you from The Frisky, which I found on CNN.com while trying to escape the boring of my first BAD job. So thanks for helping to keep me sane through what was a very crazy time 🙂
You were mentioned by Dan Savage at some point while you were at The Frisky. I had always liked the risque questions and advice by Dan, but also found myself interested in the more everyday questions you handled. Â DW was definitely an unusual interest for me as a guy, even a non-stereotypical guy. It became a way of experiencing some of these issues vicariously, as I have been happily married for a long time. Perhaps my biggest regret about marriage is that I’ll never have that “falling in love” feeling again, not that I would ever risk what i have for what I don’t have. On the upside, i’ll also (hopefully! highly likely!) never have my heart broken again, so that’s a good deal for me.
Then, DW became a way of interacting and a community. Nice one!
December 5, 2012 at 12:30 pm #47723I also followed you from TF. And I found TF from links on CNN.
I found it from The Frisky and found The Frisky from some kind of random search or twitter feed. Can’t remember. I really only read DW and Mind of Man.
That seems like so long ago. I stopped reading TF entirely after you moved. I like it so much better here because there is a real community. The comments on TF would get vicious for no reason at all. I was afraid to comment there.
