So the complete idiots guide seemed perfect because the chapters covered absolutely evertying, from attraction to the first date, second date etc”¦ how to keep it going and how to get over it.

It was an opportunity to put it all into one place.

I was curious as to what your real opinion is of online dating.

I did meet my girlfriend online, but after a year of painful struggle, meaning hardly any dates despite being educated, employed, and reasonably attractive.

My guy friends (also educated, attractive) complain that they get no responses and female acquaintences tell me that they get so many emails, etc, that they don’t know where to start-and often do nothing.

They don’t have time to “date around” several times a week.(actually neither would I). Women, being more vulnerable than men, are more hesitant to date online, so you get a situation where there’s a lot more men than women.

Aside from my own luck and the trendy radio ads and sexy commercials, it seems as if no one’s happy.

Okay, it’s time to have an open and frank discussion about the battle of the sexes and the dating game.

It’s far too complex, scary and difficult for mere mortals – so let’s bridge the gap by asking both men and women what doesn’t work when it comes to online dating Dating has gone digital.
