I have become more open when it comes to selecting who to ask out on a date.

Every date teaches me something new about what I have to offer a potential partner, as well as what's important to me in a long-term partnership.

By the mid-1990s, we were meeting not in public spaces but online - in private chat rooms and, within a few years, through dating sites.

Needless to say, this made the getting-to-know-you process much, much safer (though not necessarily easier).

In other words, even though digital devices make meeting and hooking up easier than ever, finding a long-term relationship can still be quite difficult.

And with gay marriage now legal nationwide -- hurrah for the Supreme Court -- the thinly veiled line between casual sex and serious dating is more important than ever.

It's crucial not to judge your date before you have a conversation with them and get to know them.

Remember you made the decision to meet this person, so leave judgments at home. Kim Rosenberg, Founder/CEO of Mixology - Matchmaking with a Twist, got her start in the industry working several years at a prominent international matchmaking company.

Before founding my company, Mixology, I worked as a matchmaker in the D. I hear all the time: "dating is so hard," "I feel like I know everyone," "I am so picky." There are so many reasons why LGBT matchmaking is crucial in today's world.

In past years, we've relied on dating websites and hook-up mobile apps.
