Review

"Diane Berry explains how to write an online profile to attract the type of relationship you are looking for..." -- John Gray, Ph.D., Author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

"Diane Berry is the Ann Landers of online dating. Don't hit the SEND button until you've read this book!" -- Jim Barnes, Independent Publisher Online


Product Description

Online dating is the most efficient and effective way to meet the right partner today! Singles'bars have always been dreadful places to meet and, in our increasingly mobile society, family and friends are not always sufficiently close or available to provide potential partners as they may have been in the past. Online dating works! But the process, from logging on to walking down the aisle is fraught with danger and confusion if you don't understand how it works. Romancing the Web, the only online dating book written by a relationship therapist, is a complete reference to the finer points of this process and your ticket to success in this endeavor. Written in an eminently readable style, by a therapist with more than 12 years' experience working with singles and couples in the field, Romancing the Web is filled with real-life examples, such as the following, that help to illustrate both the problems and solutions that singles can find in their quest for companionship in cyberspace. "'Well, let's see,' Cindy begins in response to my question about her recent social engagements. 'Last Saturday I went to an Art Fair with Jake. We really had a good time. We spent the whole day there. Then on Sunday, Tom took me out to dinner at a really nice restaurant. I've been seeing him almost once a week now. On Wednesday Jeff and I went for a bike ride after work. That was fun, too. You remember him, right? The builder I told you about? And tomorrow night, Steve is taking me to a movie.' Before she discovered online dating, Cindy, a very attractive woman in her early fifties, had a great deal of difficulty finding companions to spend free time with because move of her friends, co-workers and siblings were married. As a result, she either stayed home or attended events alone--a victim of her environment and the limited resources for singles in her city. The internet, and online dating, has changed her life."

5.0 out of 5 stars Happiness in Iowa, May 18, 2006
I disagree with the review below, the book may have been a little repetive but I could understand what the author was saying. However, with the other books I have tried to use I ended up so confused and frustrated that I just gave up. This book really helped me get the right image of myself onto the internet and gave me helpful tips about choosing a mate that I would never have thought of myself.
I live in a very small town in Iowa and all the men in my town are married or not an option. Dating was out of the question with my two young children so the internet was my only option. Romancing the Web really helped me to feel comfortable with the internet and online dating sites. I am currently in a relationship and I have found that in my past relationships I had moved too fast, Berry's suggestion to only e-mail for a month helped me to really get to know Dave and now we have started talking on the phone.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who has been frustrated by the internet or needs a little relationship nudge, it really helped me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help for the Hopeful!, June 13, 2006
I am a therapist and work with a significant number of single persons seeking meaningful relationships. I stumbled on Romancing the Web in a local bookstore and was impressed by the information presented and the easy-to-follow approach. Ms. Berry's guidelines are thoughtful and appropriate and very helpful in establishing a healthy partnership. I have taken to recommending this book for all of my online dating clients!

5.0 out of 5 stars No Longer Lonely, May 12, 2006
I am a 54 year old man who went through a divorce five years ago. I tried the bar scene looking for a new mate and was very frustrated and intimidated.It was hard to meet someone I would be both interested in and compatible with. I thought about internet dating but that, too, seemed intimidating. I discovered Romancing the Web and have found the book extremely helpful. I have been able to follow the author's instructions about how to write a profile and how to proceed to meet women over the internet. Without a resource like this, I think I would not have tried internet dating and most certainly wouldn't have known how to safely go about it. Thanks for a very informative and helpful, easy to read book. The personal stories included gave me encouragement to continue my search and I am happy to report I am four months into a new relationship with a wonderful woman I met over the internet.
