Online Dating Books
Welcome to
www.onlinedatingbooks.com, the web's best source for online
dating book recommendations. The
books you will find here have been researched by us and have received favorable
recommendations from many individuals and organizations we contacted as part of
the research behind this site.
We're not going to pretend to have reviewed every book,
but we looked at many dozens and we decided etiquette should prevent us from
giving lousy reviews to some best-selling books that we found shallow at best or
destructive at worst. Hence, we have only included positive reviews on this
site.
If this is your first time considering a personals book
purchase, don't feel uneasy. From the plethora of books you will find in the
marketplace, you will quickly realize this is a genre in high demand.
Besides, even a personals expert can probably pick up almost any book and still
learn at least one or two things about writing a strong personals ad that will make him or her more
effective.
While Amazon.com has become the most popular marketplace for book purchases (and they
are reliable and offer direct links), we strongly suggest that you start by
searching eBay. Ebay's prices are the best by far and it is also extremely
reliable and very easy to register, even if you're a first-time user.
Below you will find our recommendations for books on online dating and Internet
personals in particular. Depending
on your particular situation and needs, you may want to consider:
Finally, you are visiting this website so if you're not
already using Internet personals to augment your dating search, you should. There are
many other good sites out there where quality singles meet. Our site contains
links to such high-quality sites with free registrations!
Online
Dating Books
You wouldn't undertake a large
home improvement project after only consulting one book
and we wouldn't encourage you to entrust your romantic
future to just one book either. Below are five online
dating books we highly recommend followed by links to
additional books.
Online Dating for Dummies by Judy Silverstein and Michael
Lasky
Buy this book from Amazon.com
If you're a fan of the "for Dummies" series, you'll
*love* this book. The typical slapstick humor keeps the
read light and easy and some of the advice is extremely
insightful. Some of the feedback we've received has
focused on some of the very basic information this book
contains. (See the Amazon reviews for even more examples
of this if you wish.) However, if you are a for Dummies
fan, you understand it's all part of the series' formula
and it ensures nothing is overlooked.
Internet Dating: Tips, Tricks and Tactics
by Roman Griffen
Buy this book from Amazon.com
A hilarious and entertaining guide to Internet dating
that is as informative as it is funny. This guide keenly
points out pitfalls to avoid and offers plenty of
encouragement to any readers in need. Many books are
written by authors whose expertise is first-hand
experience. Most of them do not come close to conveying
the quality of knowledge as Roman Griffen does in this
guide.
Meet Me...Don't Delete Me:
Internet Dating by Bev Bacon
Buy this book from Amazon.com
This is, quite simply, a great book. The author may
only have a BS in psychology, but it
becomes quickly apparent that she fully "gets" the ins
and outs of Internet dating. Her use of personal
examples of what not to do are informative and
entertaining at the same time. We love this book and
strongly recommend it as even Internet dating veterans
will pick up at least a few valuable pointers.
Man with Farm
Seeks Woman with Tractor: The Best and Worst Personal Ads of All Time
by Laura Schaefer
Buy this book from Amazon.com
If you want
humor and a potential bathroom book, this one's for you.
Additionally, you never know if reading one of the
samples might inspire you to write a knock-out personal
ad!
Dating 911: The Ultimate Guide to Internet Dating Safety
by Dennis Nagy
Buy this book from Amazon.com
Are you hesitant to join the over 40% of all singles on the Internet due to
safety concerns? If you read this book, we bet you'll be willing to explore the
world of Internet dating and use this book's valuable tips to maintain your
peace of mind. We really love the fact that Dennis Nagy is a cybercop with true
expertise in the subject area. (Sadly this can not be said of many authors.)
