The premise for the blog GrannyIsMyWingman is simple: “My granny and me are both single ladies looking for laughs and love in the world of online dating.” But it carries a sort of comic and emotional genius that is far from simple, and more complex that one could ever plan. It is a blog of moments, and the bond between a woman and her grandmother as they both try to meet someone via online dating.
The duo is New Yourker Kayli Stollak, 24, and her grandmother, Gail, who lives in Florida. They offer each other encouragement, and condolences, where necessary. Usually hilarious quips, especially from Gail, litter the site. “Better he stands ya up now, than at the alter,” said Gail, after Kayli was stood up for a date.
An almost instant hit, with 30k views within the first month alone, the blog is going from strength to strength. Hopefully the blog will continue to delight its users, though with dates lined up for January, it might not be long before these witty gals find themselves a special someone, and hang-up the online dating hat. Hopefully it won’t be too soon, though, ladies.
Now, as with anything to do with dating, my primary advice would be to be yourself at all times. Don’t ever try to be something you’re not and if something makes you feel uncomfortable, it’s not going to work. However, for me, on a recent date an icebreaker did help us both out, so, I thought I would share my first date tips on icebreakers.
