Love At First Click

Times have changed and so should online free personals. Some match making sites are re-inventing the free personal ads business using new technologies that are a breakthrough in the online dating singles market. I found this book to be current with this new trend. After reading it I developed the courage to place an ad at one of these single online dating sites found on the net, Love At First Click, otherwise known as loveatfirstclick.com. The book gave me the much needed skills to sort, search and find romance and excitement. The book and the effectiveness of loveatfirstclick.com will help you find a community featuring sincere and honest single individuals that are looking for other like-minded people that are quite eager in meeting their match in this fun world of online free personals. It helped me meet plenty of hot women. I'd recommmend this book, and Loveatfirstclick.com too!!

Intelligent guide to the Personals - in print and online

This smart book is about the challenge of being over fifty - and of writing a good Personal Ad: one that accomplishes your goal - of ultimately meeting prospective dates, and mates. The author's focus on age fifty and over is sensible, too. She assumes (not unreasonably)that middleaged singles are serious about finding a partner, know themselves reasonably well, and can put this self-knowledge to good use in the writing of a good ad.The author takes a thoughtful and systematic approach; she begins with chapters that invite readers - men and women - to figure out at least the beginnings of who they are, the sort of person they are looking for (an exercise that can save you a lot of wasted ad space, time, and money), and what kind of relationship you are looking for. Refreshingly, she steers clear of sappy "success" stories in favor of useful information (on safety, "red flags," personal appearance, manners, and more.)Harrison shows you how to write an ad that really expresses who you are, while avoiding pitfalls (such as negativity and too much generality.) She is encouraging and stresses truth-telling, and a positive approach. It's a mini-course in effective self-advertising, and as such it's very useful.I've had some varied experience with Personals and was gratified to read Harrison's book, which reinforced much of what I had suspected. (Men appreciate some friendly personal information, and they are drawn to the word "fun-loving"). In addition Harrison provides useful tips on screening respondents, selecting, meeting, dating. A compassionate, helpful, and very worthwhile book.

helpful and entertaining reading

this book is a must for anyone planning to search for love online. it is also entertaining, but more than that, it is right on in defining human relationships and the mistakes we all make. The author must be a psychologist as well as a good writer.
