Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Vitzthum has left no stone unturned in the world of online dating, from her love/hate relationship with the hipster-oriented Nerve.com to the facts behind the "science" of matching sites like eHarmony.com and Match.com and the musings of a charming, well-educated, British Craigslist addict. While the book contains both fairy tales and horror stories, Vitzthum's case studies and interviews fall somewhere in the middle, a reflection of her own ambivalence about this world of "people-shoppers." More of a meditation than a guide, this volume combines research and the author's personal experiences into a genuinely funny and informative read. (Feb. 1)

Product Description
In this savvy guide to a fascinating new world, former sex columnist Virginia Vitzthum goes underground to navigate the meanings and mores of sex and love on the Web. Using interviews, anecdotes, and her own experience with online dating, Vitzthum builds an animated and irreverent narrative about modern intimacy. How does the path of a relationship change when it starts with a profile? What do we reveal about ourselves--our personal lives and our private preferences--when we look for love online? Who are the people who actually manage to find happy relationships by trolling the Web? Success stories, sociopaths, and fearing the face to face meeting, Vitzthum is an entertaining decoder of online culture, under all of which lies the question: What does the Internet do to human relationships? A compassionate voyeur, Vitzthum approaches her fellow online daters with an open curiosity that makes her the perfect guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for daters, March 8, 2007
Even married people and nuns will find these tales from the dating front interesting--I found myself reliving the fun and horror of that world as Vitzthum shared her own story and others, with a twenty-first century spin.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very thought-provoking read, March 14, 2007
By Writer Man (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
At first blush, the subject of this book might seem a bit light, but don't be fooled. This is not just a book about online dating--it's about many of life's deepest questions: how we perceive ourselves and others, how we present ourselves to the world, the deep mystery of romantic love, the difficult search for happiness, and ultimately, how we can live out E.M. Forster's challenge to Only Connect. The broad spectrum of personalities and stories makes for challenging, thought-provoking reading, and--in very engaging prose--the author bravely and honestly confronts her own romantic history. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable and provocative, March 7, 2007
By mungo181 (New York) - See all my reviews
Neither a polemic nor full of accolades, I love You, Let's Meet is a well-reasoned and well-researched book exploring the overwhelming world of online dating. Not everyone in ILYLM finds the love of his life online, nor does everyone encounter sleezy liars out to cheat them of their life-savings. The real-life stories are are at once funny and sad as people just like you and me traverse cyberspace in search of their soul mates. Although written with a voyeur's eye, Vitzthum also takes the plunge into online dating, exploring her own feelings about the trend and what she thinks living online means for the future of romantic relationships. I Love You, Let's Meet is a great combination of philosophical analysis and juicy gossip.
