Description: "Using the stories of couples who first met online, Andrea Baker has written a book that builds our knowledge of the process from the ground up. Double Click follows their relationships from early attraction to communication and intimacy to meeting offline, to outcome."

"This is the first scholarly book on internet dating that uses primary data from people who met online. It adds to the literature on computer-mediated communication, internet dating, and relationship formation in the fields of psychology, sociology, and communications. Teachers of courses on marriage and the family, intimate relationships, interpersonal communication, internet studies, and cyberculture can use Double Click with both undergraduates and graduate students. General readers curious about online relationships and people who have searched for partners online will find much of interest in the actual bonding experience of the couples expressed in numerous quotations."--Jacket.
