After my parents split up, my mother got really into the whole online dating thing. I kept telling her to be careful with it, and she kept assuring me that she knew what she was doing. She gave me this book and told me to go away. I used to be really skeptical about people online, because you don't know who to trust in this day and age. After reading this book, it helped me kind of let down my guard and get to know people in cyberspace. I'm proud to say that I met my husband on the internet a year ago, and we've been happily married after three months of dating over the internet. It sounds crazy to most people, but I am seriously the happiest I've ever been, and I feel like I owe part of it to my mom and this wonderful book. I would recommend this book to anyone that's the slightest bit curious about dating online or even just trying to get to know people. A few extra friends never hurt anyone!
