WORST FIRST DATES "Michelle Goebel, founder of the Single Central dating club http://www.singlecentral.com that serves Phoenix and parts of Nevada and California, says some women are solving that problem by dating younger men. While men older than 50 still prefer dating younger women, men in their 20s, 30s and 40s find older women appealing. For the older women, too, Goebel says, "This is working out well." (Excerpt from "WORST FIRSTS" dates in reference to a 37 year old woman's statement of "I feel like I'm dating leftovers" in the Phoenix dating arena.)

Unique Online Dating Service

"In a recent column I mentioned the site Single Central (www.singlecentral.com), but overlooked an important aspect of the matchmaker service that differentiates it from the others. Michelle Goebel writes: "The fact that we connect online singles with offline singles. (People who choose not to use the Internet). And that I play a more personal role in the matchmaking."

For those without Internet access looking for a way to meet other singles, you can start the process by calling Single Central at 800-414-9246." Business section in the LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL, Monday, March 4 2002 Edition.

Love tales abound in cyberspace
"E-mail, instant messages, chat rooms and e-greeting cards are filling a space once held only by scented letters, flower bouquets and singing telegrams. Creative lovers find ways to combine cyberamoré with traditional conveyances, keeping Cupid busy firing arrows from multiple angles". If you're hoping for an online love story of your own, check out Single Central (http://www.singlecentral.com), which is a paid service run by Michelle Goebel. She closed her storefront operation in favor of an Internet-only (and postal mail), service that has had more than 2,000 members join.

What if Fox's TV Wedding had worked?

"In January, the media were enthralled with the whole idea says Goebel, who runs LV/Phoenix based Single Central Dating Club and was asked by producers to suggest potential bachelorettes of the FOX show." "What has changed?" Goebel asks. "I don't understand how it could be so loved one moment and then be the sleaziest thing that ever was the next". She has a point. 800-414-9246. If Rockwell and Conger were still together, it's possible that the voyeur in us would be looking forward to a second show and that Marry... would be as huge as its progenitor, ABC's Who wants to to be a Millionaire.
