My wife actually bought this book because my daughter is dating a man from the Internet. While I was skeptical and afraid the guy was probably a masked murderer this book helped me see a more rounded view of Internet dating. I still think it is a secondary action to take for potential daters as as the author does point out that there is still some risk of dating Internet people. I thought the book rambled at times and felt, honestly a little like it was marketing some websites to me, but I am happy this book is out there and available for women like my daughter to read. (It can help her keep her safe!) I think Ellen's tips for new online daters are a must for young girls, maybe even teach it in high school who knows.
