As long as you are cautious in the Internet, I think it's a perfectly good way to meet people. This book offers some good points, tips and tricks but also some tricks - like playing hard to get - that strikes me as a little childish. Dating is difficult enough these days, and emotions and tone are difficult to read online - so why play hard to get? I think you could ruin a potentially good chance with someone that way. Sometimes the book sounds a little shallow, but I guess you have to just take it with a grain of salt. It's a decent read, but I wouldn't depend on it to find Mr. Right.
