I came across this book when I was looking for books regarding online dating for a client project.As a marketer, I’ve placed numerous campaigns for matchmaking/dating companies.I’ve heard a lot of stories (good and bad) about online dating.In this book I found an author who takes the time to walk one through the process of online dating and do it with a reality check.I think often people are swept away by the possibility of meeting that perfect someone and they do not go into the process with eyes wide open.The author methodically goes through the process and educates the reader.I felt the behind the scenes  perspective was something most people are clueless regarding and contains” must know” information before one decides to participate in the online dating world.I won’t give away the content of the book but I will say the author makes some really good points regarding do’s and don’ts.  A good amount advice that is given could also be applied to blind dates or to a person who meets someone while out with friends.The comparison of free and paid sites is also very informative.I also liked the fact that the author included an extensive list of online dating companies – a list that covers people from all walks of life.There were numerous online dating companies listed that I had never heard of before reading this book.Last but not least, the author goes one step further and also discusses what happens when you find someone and the dating turns into a relationship.I think this book is one that online dating companies should consider giving to clients as it is spot on all the way through.
