Online Dating for Dummies

The xxxx for dummies always does a good job on breaking down the hard-to-grasp concepts and makes it easy for people to understand the complexities that can be involved. The dating scene can be tricky these days and Online Dating for Dummies did a great job. Look for some humor to keep you floating through chapters

Its execellent. Its informative. Easy to read. Best of all, its fun. Ive never visited an online dating site. However, the book has me excited about taking the plunge.

I found this book interesting and funny to read, a must read for online users. I also would like to recommend a great book for men and women that I found to have everything you need to be successful on the Internet dating scene. How to get the woman of your dreams using the Internet And How to get the man of your dreams using the internet This was packed full of how to even if you never been online before this will have you on your way to finding your true love online.

EXCELLENT!!!! If it werent for internet dating - most of my single friends have said they would not be dating! But, how to wade through the ins and outs of internet dating and do it the right way ONLINE DATING FOR DUMMIES was both informational and fun to read! Very handy tips that, if you follow the authors advice, will help you get things right the first time! One might think that much of posting and responding is obvious...but not necessarily! Follow the advice in this book and youre guaranteed to be dating in no time at all! And, I appreciated the fact that the two authors met each other ONLINE! They write from personal experience, professional expertise, and from extensive research. I would HIGHLY recommend this book immediately if you would like to find that special someone!

As a young single, I found this book to be very fun and helpful. All too often do you read things and see things, but dont know how typical the results are, but it is obvious their tips are right on target seeing that the authors are getting married! I would highly recommend it to my friends and cant wait to use the tips in the book on my own search! Online Dating for Dummies has been needed for years and I am glad to see that someone has finally written the book!

Ive already read a fair number of other books about internet dating and I frankly liked this one the best. The others tended to fall into two catagories. Either books about someones personal escapades on the internet or a compendium of internet horror stories from people who have had bad experiences. If you are looking for reasons to hate internet dating, you will be disappointed. The authors wrote a basic how-to book which kept me engaged and amused. I dare say that if you followed the recommendations of the authors, youd do pretty well with online dating. Sure, some of the stuff is obvious (like post a good, but not too glamorous photo), but if you go online youll see how many people dont even know that. On the other hand, some of the advance tips clearly took some digging to find and were much appreciated. If you want an easy read with good basic advice, this one does a nice job.

What a cool book! Online dating is pretty much what everyone is doing....and who knows how to navigate through the mess The book tells it all!

Fun to read - and easy to understand. I have told all my college friends to get this book. And, theres free coupons included which basically make the book free, in the long run.

Get this book if you want to know what you are doing in this crazy dating world.

This is the perfect and complete guide for online dating. The information really explains how you can stand out from the crowd. The He Said/She Said parts are quite interesting.

Makes it all come clear! Removes all the question-marks about the online dating mystery. A perfect guide to getting started with online dating and meeting someone. Clear, precise, and fun!! Coupons, personal advice and so much more! What more could I ask for! I have already told my friends to get this terrific guide to Online Dating.

Most of what this book says is either common sense or easy to find out by using an online dating service. They sound uncomfortable enough with computers that they seem to expect readers to prefer reading a generic description on paper to reading the online descriptions that the dating services provide.
Their idea of backing up email is to print it out.
They say on page 183 that meeting in person gives away your anonymity completely, then on page 237 they describe how to meet in person anonymously. That is fairly typical about how carefully they write.
Instead of this, I recommend buying Katzs I Cant Believe Im Buying This Book.

I just finished reading this book and I must say that I am very impressed. I am already in the thick of online dating so I thought I wouldnt learn much, but I did. There are two areas where I felt the authors were the greatest help to me. First, I was one of those people who was deathly afraid of posting a photo, but the authors did a nice job of coaxing me over the line (and giving me a clever work around solution if I couldnt bring myself to do it). Second, Online Dating for Dummies contains some really good ideas of on how to manage those confounding essays. I always felt mine was lame, but I didnt know how to fix it. I think Ive got mine right now.

I appreciated the light and humorous style which kept me engaged, and the Dummies style of funny icons made it easy for me to spot the all important secret sauce tips.

If you are new to online dating, you will save yourself a lot of trips down dark alleys by reading this book. If you are a semi-pro, you will probably still be surprised by what they found. If you are a pro at online dating (I hope I never meet you online), youll certainly be able to use the discount coupons in back of the book.

After 30 years of marriage I thought my dating days were behind me. Then came my divorce and I discovered I had no dating skills. I tried to meet people at various places but found my shyness kept getting in the way. So a year ago I joined the online dating scene and had some success but that was after a huge effort. This book would have saved me countless hours of time, dozens of rejections and made the experience much more enjoyable. I finished it last night and have already started putting into practice insights from the book.

One lesson the book teaches that I had to learn the hard way was the danger of having a long term email relationship before talking on the phone or having a long term phone relationship before meeting in person. I made both of these mistakes wasting weeks at a time.

The importance of a good photo and a good profile cannot be underestimated. They are on target with both. I found as I improved both, my responses improved. They have some very clear guidelines and Im getting my pictures redone. Im also going to rewrite parts of my profile based some of their great tips.

For way less than the cost of a date or less than one months membership to an online dating service you will dramatically improve your online dating experience. This is a must buy for online daters.

I loved this book - what a great way to outline the online dating process...especially for someone who was leery about the online dating world.

Its easy to read, and written on an believable level, especially since the authors met online, and are now together! They give you great tips, and get you excited about this whole new outlet for dating.

I recommend it highly!!! What a great way to get started with online dating!!!

where have I been This book really helped me get online and noticed. Online dating for Dummies is the best book, of all the other choices available. Free of boring baloney anecdotes, just packed with useful info.

As a fellow relationship/dating author and advisor, Im always looking for new information on this dynamic field. I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book because of the thorough nature and quality of the Dummies series. After a complete reading of this book where I took a lot of notes, I must say that it does an outstanding job of covering online dating and other related topics.

You get a certain type of quality when you buy a Dummies book. I didnt expect this one to be a great literary read or even one that Id call entertaining (except for the hilarious cartoons in the beginning of each chapter). This book is simply stuffed with practical information and helpful tips. I do a lot of research on Online Dating issues and this is the best single source that Ive found. If you ever come across any of my advice anywhere, you can bet that it wont be out of alignment with what is in this great resource.

This is a book that every man or woman who chooses to play the online dating game to win (find a good love partner) should have in their personal library. Its really that good.
