Eighty-eight dates

the long version

"Many of us have friends who've used the internet to find romance or love or just a good time. Some of us might even have used it ourselves. As author Rachel Goodchild says, thousands and thousands of New Zealanders, from many diverse backgrounds, are enlisting the help of cyber match-making services. Rachel has experienced the highs and lows of internet dating, met lots of other people doing the same thing and gathered their stories together so that readers can avoid disasters and maybe meet the person of their dreams - and have a good laugh in the process. Eighty-eight Dates is a fun collection of anecdotes and advice for anyone interested in what it's really like to date online. The book includes: how to create a personal profile; selecting your image and choosing a photo; what you should be looking for; making the first connection; taking it further; etiquette and personal safety; coping with disasters; taking the next step."--Global Books in Print.
