Single Gal in the City’s Dating Blitz

Blogger Melissa Braverman is like a real Carrie Bradshow (Sex in the City). She’s a single gal living and dating in New York City and blogging about at Single Gal in the City. But, for the next few weeks, she’s traveling across the country on an 8-week, eight-city journey to explore single life in cities other than New York.

She’s planning on going on at least three dates in each destination and speaking with various bachelorettes to get an insider’s perspective of single life in their respective cities. Her adventure began March 1 and she’s already visited Cleveland, Ohio, and Atlanta. Kansas City, Houston, Denver and Portland, Ore., are next on her blitz. As for her eighth city, readers can cast their vote in a survey as to where Melissa should wrap up her great American dating blitz.

Melissa welcomes bachelorettes living in the cities she’s visiting to share input of single life in their city by dropping her a line through her Single Gal in the City blog.

And, be sure to check out her YouTube video for more deets.

I met Melissa during BlogHer ’09 in Chicago. The above photo is of Carson Kressley, her (in a tan jacket) and Hasbro’s Mrs. Potato Head.
