This review is from: Meet Me Online: The #1 Practical Guide to Internet Dating (Paperback)

I was considering online dating, and decided to get this book before I tried it. This book was amazing! There were many aspects of online dating that I never considered, and luckily this book addressed them. The book was easy to read, entertaining, and comprehensive in it's coverage of the subject. After reading this book, I feel that I am ready (and armed with the necessary information) to try online matchmaking. I highly recommend this book!
