Online Dating for Dummies (Paperback)

If you are single (or know someone who is) and haven't tried online dating, you wouldn't realize how mainstream it has become. There are between 20-30 million singles dating online. Yet dating online is unlike in-person dating and requires different strategies for finding and attracting the right matches. For anyone already online, or just thinking about joining an online dating service, this book is an indispensable resource. It's full of online dating tips and the secret sauce on dating sites you might never discover on your own. Like all Dummies books, Online Dating For Dummies is written as a resource book so that you can quickly jump right in to look up what you need without reading cover to cover (though you might just get hooked and not be able to put it down).

Online Dating for Dummies includes sections on:

• How to write a great essay that not only attracts, but attracts someone right for you
• Sex on the internet: it's faster online. Learn what to expect and how to handle it
• How to pick a site with the right ambience for you, ranging from the sassy Nerve.com to the mainstream Match.com and everything in between.
• Knowing how to figure out which dating sites have lots of live prospects and which have only piles of deadwood
• How to write that first email that attracts without frightening off your prospect with specific tips for men and women.
• Dealing with the all important photo. Whether to post one, and if so, how to get noticed without appearing deceiving
• Tricks to ferret out the frauds that lurk onlinebefore they find you.
• Dealing with online rejection. How survive it and how to dish it out humanely when you want to break off a contact.
• Making it through that scary transition from email to meeting in person
• Safety online: how to be safe without becoming paralyzed by paranoia
• A special section on long distance relationships. If there is simply no one in your town worth dating, learn how to make it work cross country.
