We Want Your Feedback
It's been six months since I started writing Last Girl Standing, Chicago magazine's blog about nightlife and dating. While I consider myself somewhat of an expert - thanks to plenty of trial-by-error experience - I'd like to hear other people's perspectives as well. That's where you come in.
What obstacles do you face in the often-brutal world of dating? Are you hungry for more behind-the-scenes nightlife coverage? Itching for more celebrity gossip? Got a tip you'd like to share? Post in the comment field below and let me know. If you've got a dating dilemma you don't want to air publicly, e-mail me directly at nightspotting@hotmail.com, and I'll keep it anonymous, unless you give me permission otherwise.
A few questions to get the ball rolling:
- What's the city's best new bar - and the worst? Do you have an undiscovered standby you think we should know about?
- Has a relationship ever gotten in the way of your friendships, or vice versa?
- Think there's a hot nightlife trend I've missed - or one you're ready to retire?
- Where did you meet your current partner? Or, do you have a hard time meeting people in Chicago and need ideas for places to make connections?
This is just a sampling; I'm eager to hear from you about anything and everything nightlife and dating.
Thanks for reading,
Last Girl Standing

cheapo post. i guess thats why you're asking for feedback. more celeb gossip, please.
Sarah, let me just say I love your blog. However, the endless talk about bars can be boring. Personally, I'd rather read about dating and relationships. As a single girl, I've picked up great tips on how to meet a guy. Thanks to you, I've hit hotspots and met lots of great people. Plus, gotten great insight on how to meet men.
Best city bar - Lumen. And great crowd. Let's just say if I were single, I'd be trolling there late night every weekend for Mr. Right. As for meeting my husband, we met at a party through friends. Personally, I say meeting someone with a crew to vouch for him/her is the way to go. Picking up a stray at a bar can be daunting - unless you're at Lumen.
?, where do you think is the best place to meet guys?
I agree with the other post- I like hearing about the bars but I prefer your blogs about your dating and relationship ordeals. As a single guy, it's great to get an inside view into what girls are really thinking. Keep it up!
As an avid reader of your blog and column in Chicago Magazine(I subscribe for your column alone)I would love to hear more about the dating scene. I can totally relate to the difficulty of finding a good man. Like you, I would never settle just so I could be a wife. I miss your early posts about going on dates and hearing all the juicy details. Whatever happened to the DR? I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you on wckg this past weekend. Lady, you are not alone in pondering the difficuly of figuring out a man.

Just wanted to say keep up the great work! I am an avid reader of Last Girl Standing and enjoy reading it every week. There's lots of great information that I can relate to being a 30-something single and love to hear it from Sarah's perspective. Can't wait to read more!
Sarah, I think it's completely smart and funny. You tell it like it is, and i think your readers can totally relate to the trials and tribulation you write about. We've all been there...the ups and downs of dating and finding love. It's not often to see it portrayed so honestly in the media, so your column is especially refreshing. The nightlife is fun for sure...but those hip places fizzle out just like some romances...i'd rather hear the dating dirt, so keep it up!!
Whomever mentioned Lumen, BIG UPS to you. Love, love, LOVE that spot.
Anyway, as far as LGS, I am also a rapid follower--never miss a column--but I'd also rather read more about Sarah's adventures in the dating world. And I am certain she has read every comment to her blogs and has noticed that everytime she talks about relationship, she sets off a firestorm, whereas when she digs into the latest in-spot, the comments are like crickets.
Sarah, people love it when they get insight into other people's life, so they love it when you are vulnerable. That's just human nature.
But because most people think they already have access to the nightlife and entertainment scene, it just doesn't feel as special and "insider-y" unless you tell us something that went on. Take, for instance, you got to hook up with George Clooney at that "Ocean's 13" party. THEN they'd want to know. Damn, if that happens, you'd better tell ME first!
Love ya like Loo-Bous!
