For those that are looking with a sense of humor, you have a shot to really put your money where your mouth is and take a crack at dating a comedian (though, if you’re reading this, you might have done so already in LA or NYC).

Date-A-Comic, a stand-up comedy show where eligibly single comedians will perform and any and all interested audience members can leave them their number after the show. Not only are the stakes pretty high here, but the ante will be upped by the fact this edition of the show will be on Valentine’s Day (and the comics will be delightfully roasted by hosts McKenna Moore and Natalie Haytayan after their sets).

Tickets for this fun bout of stand-up, romance, and a bit of chaos is indeed set for Wed. Feb. 14th at 7PM at Brooklyn’s Fiction Bar/Cafe. Tickets are only $7.18 and you can (and should) get them here.

Please Enjoy This Sweet and Absurdist Short “The Do It Up Date”

Based off a modern fairy tale of sorts that Josh Fadem wrote, The Do It Up Date is, as we see it, pretty close to how many folks feel on a first date. By the way, it got a nod from SXSW this year and picked by Vimeo Staff.

Also, it’s Emily Ting & Andrew Barchilon and stars Bridey Elliott and Josh Fadem.

Give it a watch here.

Nicole Byer is 13 episodes into her dating/relationships/sex podcast and it’s amazing how she has courageously taken an unfiltered, in-depth into her own perpetual “single-dom” as well as dating in general and the dating history of her guests.

As is with much of Byer’s comedy, her candor on the podcast is both compelling and funny. On top of that, Nicole goes an extra mile to ask all of her guests whether or not they would date her (which is made even more frank as she has hooked up with some of her guests in the past) as well as their thoughts on her online dating profiles.

So, please take and listen (and if you’re into it like we are) and subscribe to Why Won’t You Date Me? with Nicole Byer.

As Valentine’s Day looms in the coming hours, we thought it’d be kind of perfect to watch Krystyna Hutchinson’s fantastic story from this latest season of This Is Not Happening.

It’s a story of overcoming the odds to not only find true love, but come to peace with your own insecurities and anxities. Also, the co-creator of Guys We F****d’s tale is pretty NSFW.

Enjoy it here.

Remember when Aziz Ansari reportedly got a $3.5 million advance for a book on modern relationships? We’re pretty sure that book is called Modern Romance and will be coming out June 16th.

Ansari mounted a year long investigation with a NYU sociologist, hundreds of interviews, focus groups, etc. in order to dissect what the quest for love in the 21st century is really like.

All of that research went into this book Modern Romance through Aziz’s lens and if it’s anything like the bits about love, dating, and relationships that he’s done recently, we think he might be onto something.

It doesn’t come out until the summer, but you can pre-order Modern Romance now.

Cathryn Mudon and Connor Ratliff web series on Blip.tv “I’m Too Fragile For This” voices probably everything you’ve wanted to say about dating in their latest episode, but were too worried that it might alienate anyone that would talk to you.

So, you can just watch, laugh, and internalize this to care of most of your dating neuroses hopefully.
