I Love You, Let's Meet: Adventures in Online Dating

This is a really interesting book that has something for everyone whether you date in real life, on the net, or both. It's more than just a look at online dating, it's a book about getting into relationships period with a look at the internet as a common medium. I appreciated the diversity of her research subjects, everything from the out-there Nerve.com to the ultra conservative Eharmony, heterosexuals, homosexuals, and everything in between for both men and women of every age group.

It wasn't exactly a page turner first going in. I like that Vitzthum actually tried the dating herself so she could give personal insight but it could get a bit old at times hearing her stories for some reason. I usually like the personal accounts but maybe show more her writing style just wasn't terribly engaging for me. And sometimes I didn't understand her references but I can chalk that up to the almost 30 years age difference. I just wish the conclusions she drew were more clear at times.

But otherwise I had a pretty good time with this book and I wouldn't mind reading more about dating online. show less

A really interesting look at the people who online date. Those that are sucessful and those that keeep trying. Those that are honest and those that lie to get what they want. I think that ultimately people can have the same experiences in RL dating that they do online, but it is just easier to meet people online anymore. A fascinating read that I just could not put down.

i flipped through this little ditty at the desk one day. i was amused by it because a week earlier i had been bored and signed up for true.com. (a total waste of time and energy, i might add, which only resulted in me being more depressed than before, with waay more junk email.)
