Kissing and Dishing
There’s a new website called Kiss and Dish that looks like fun. It’s a place to share stories, commiserate and get advice if you need it. I learned about it in an article at the Ohio State student online newspaper.
Kristen Ricordati and her business partner Daniel Kiepfer started the site where users can share and read about all things romantic. The two former flames turned friends and now business partners are a testament that men and women can stay friends even after a romantic relationship ends.
“I started this Web site with college students in mind,” Ricordati said. “I’m only 25 and not that far removed from the dating scene. I know one of my favorite activities in college was sitting around with my friends and talking about who hooked up with who, or who had the embarrassing experience the night before.”
She wanted to create a place where students could share their stories and give advice to others.
What makes KissandDish different from other advice Web sites is that it is all written and responded to by real people who have real stories. Like other sites, anyone can create a profile, where they can write about their own love life or comment on others anonymously.
“This Web site is not supposed to be too serious, it’s a place to get advice if you need it but it’s always a place where we can laugh at ourselves and laugh at other dating nightmares,” Ricordati said.
As someone who loathed and detested Juicy Campus, I was especially pleased to hear her state the following:
“Users are encouraged to share all, but when banter turns to bad-mouthing, Ricordati draws the line. ”This is not a spiteful place to spread rumors about an ex. If you want to share your heartbreak, by all means please do! But when people start writing slanderous things about someone else, we will take it down,” she said.”
Check it out. I spent a little time there poking around, and couldn’t resist leaving a snarky comment for Frat Boy after his rant against freshman girls. Please feel free to go and chime in, yeah!
Don’t give him any, girls, or any of the asshats just like him. Stand up to douches!

I've been on KissandDish.com and must say I really enjoyed it!! People are talking very honestly about love, dating, sex, hooking up and it's refreshing to see real stories written by real people. I wrote a story about a problem I had with a boy I've been seeing off and on and was overwhelmed with great advice and feed back…from total strangers! It's nice to get an outside perspective sometimes. I'll definitely go back.
Abby, thanks for commenting! I'm glad you liked KissandDish, I did too. It's great that people were generous with advice and feedback – relationship stuff is so hard to figure out, and it's great to have a new source of support.
I just checked out http://www.kissanddish.com and really liked it! What a cool idea. I'll definitely go back, especially when I have a problem with my boyfriend. Nice to have other peoples opinion.
Yay, I got a really nice email from them today! I guess Hooking Up Smart has been sending some traffic their way. I love discovering new and helpful stuff, and then passing it along to you. Makes me feel useful!
