Anyone who's experienced the dating scene in Los Angeles or online knows how brutal it can be.\r
But here's an idea: get six people together and let 'em schmooze during dinner at a good restaurant. That's TastyLA. You know something about the other five (a brief profile and often a photograph are\r
posted on the site), and can check out the often-trendy restaurant online; the three men and women\r
each pay their own tab, and can communicate anonymously (or not) online afterward. Loving food\r
and socializing, I've been to five so far, and signed up for three more. The restaurants are high-tone,\r
and I've generally found the people interesting. You may not meet your Cinderella (or Prince\r
Charming) -- then again you may (so far I haven't, hence the ""three more"") -- but in any case you'll get\r
out of the house and have some good food and conversation with like-minded people for the evening. Can't beat it.
