      CONTENTS

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      I’d like to give special thanks to the following people who inspired me to write this novel, motivated me to keep writing when didn’t feel like writing, and who made me believe in myself as a writer.

      First, giving thanks and praise to God!

      Joanna Penn, your YouTube videos were so informative and inspiring for me. I discovered the ups and downs of this career through your experiences.

      Bob Proctor’s speeches changed the way

      I viewed my world as a writer and businessman.

      Special shout out to

      Julie Broad

      Of Book Launchers

      Your inspirational videos were most valuable to me.

      introduction

      I WANT TO PREFACE THIS book by saying I am not a relationship expert. Nor do I hold any certification in counseling, or any advanced degrees in the field of psychology. What I do have is 12 years of experience with Online dating sites like Plenty of Fish, OKCupid, Tagged, Match.com, Matchdoctor, BlackPeopleMeet, Bumble, Tinder, and Instagram.

      I was prompted to write this book because of some of my girlfriends asked me how did I find my husband online when they were having so much trouble. After looking at their profiles and messages I found out why.

      I hope this book will let you know what people think of some of the profiles that are online and what they think they say about you. This is not a critique of just male online daters but I have received feedback from men about women profiles as well.

      At first, we saw it as a nice way to communicate with loved ones far away via email. It was nice because we were saving thousands of trees. We also like the convenience of the information highway which saved us trips to the library. We discovered how easy it was to shop online. So what was the next step in this evolutionary technological miracle?

      Someone must have taken note that in the chat rooms i.e. yahoo, AOL, and Instant messenger, that people were flirting and hooking up offline. They also realized that there were probably hundreds of others in these chat rooms who had romantic pinning’s towards other members but were too shy to act on their desires in open chat.

      Here was the birth of the online dating sites. People were now able to browse people they would not normally have the courage to speak to in public. They could do it in the safety
