Still No Valentine? A Possible Solution
16:10 H | Topics: Internet - Lifestyle
It's February 15th...do you know where your Valentine is? Did you spend the holiday alone, cursing it as a Hallmark consumerist excuse to spend money, or were you instead pining away because (say in whiny voice) "everybody's got somebody except me..."?
A new all-Latino dating site called QuieroLatino might be the solution to your singledom. The site officially launched yesterday, on el dia de los enamorados and we've heard there's a lot of buzz on QuieroLatino already.
If you think you've tried it all -- Match.com, eHarmony, MySpace and the like -- and haven't found what you're looking for, you might be interested to know the idea behind QuieroLatino from the site's founders:
We started QuieroLatino because we wanted to do something about the lack of online services targeted towards Latinos. While we were graduate students, we realized that singles in the Latino community needed a well-known and trusted place to meet each other online. We were inspired to fill that void and started QuieroLatino.Quality online services geared toward the U.S. Latino community are few and far between, and dating options are almost non-existent. QuieroLatino looks like a welcome addition to the Latino online world, so check them out and let us know what you think.

Yet another reason I'll never buy a Microsoft product (reaction to Quiero Latino's ads)....I'm skeptical/cynical about all "brands" per se but never have regretted buying Mi Manzana.

I don't know... it kind of sucks to be single... It makes me feel somewhat desperate to go on one of those sites. I do know quite a few happily coupled people that have met online but it still seems unnatural to me.
