Love at First Click: The Ultimate Guide to Online Dating

This book has a lot of good tips if you don't feel like doing any research (much of the information is actually cited from free online sources). When I'm single, I usually put off updating my profile but this helped me get in gear. It reminds you to think about what you want, and then offers advice on how to best present yourself online - in your written profile and on what kind of pictures to have, what order, how many, etc.The book also covers online messaging, texting, and the first few dates. If you get nervous or just want advice on how long to generally make a message (etc), it's helpful. For the price, I'd buy it again just for the confidence boost.

I followed the advice in this book and was on Match.com for only 2 days before I connected to The One. We shut down our accounts as soon as we met. As a professionally licensed psychotherapist, I heard the trials and tribulations over the years from my patients with online dating. So after I became a widow suddenly at 40, when I was ready to get out there again, I wanted to do it right. That's when I got this book. I followed the advice about how to set up my profile to attract the type of person I was looking for as well as, how to decipher through the profiles of prospective gentlemen to find the right match for me. He was the first one I met and we knew right away. Let's just say, the book helped make my dreams come true, and I recommend it to all my patients dating online.

Laurie's book was my first venture into the "Online Dating" genre. I am what one might call a wallflower, personable enough, but very shy when it comes to romantic interests. I had tried the eharmony, okcupid and match.com before, but never really going at it in a way that was helpful for me.After reading Laurie's book, I was able to edit/create profiles in a way that would be appealing to the audience that I wanted to attract instead of the audience I was getting. I went ahead and changed things around a little bit after first reading the book and suddenly my profile was being checked out multiple times a day by different women. It was amazing how much this book helped me with my profile, but how I approached messaging women.Needless to say this book has help transform me from an online wallflower to someone who is confident in online dating, to a point where I no longer need a profile because I am seeing someone I met online.Thanks Laurie!

Very disappointing and not worth the money! 99% of the content was common sense and could have been written by anyone, More exact examples on each subject was missing (such as actually from profiles) and the results, would have been beneficial.

This book has very good tips and advice for online dating and getting the most out of Match.com and other sites.

Book didn't really give great advice and it was very boring and not informative.

I bought the book after reading a review in Elle magazine, that also featured several other How To dating books. I liked the idea of it and I did get some good info on how to setup a good profile, what to say and how to go about starting an email dialog and not to get discouraged etc. But I have to agree with another reviewer when they said;"However, there are too many references to stilettos and specific gadgets. The easy, breezy, cool girl about the city voice didn't resonate with me, and product placement mentions are off putting. I realize that this is part of trying to convey a certain vibe, but I just found it irritating".Being an introvert there were a lot of suggestions that didn't appeal to me either. I'm not one to go all out to impress someone, I like to keep it real and be relaxed when I meet someone for the first time. I don't fully buy into the whole first impressions hype, sometimes they can be misleading. Shinny on the outside, rotten on the inside.The "working" it atmosphere of the book doesn't fit my personality or style either and I feel she didn't address or give suggestions for the different personality types that are out there. At least a few would of been helpful.The book is more geared towards women and men who live a certain life style, are extremely social, extroverted and work in the white collar corporate world. Which is fine if we all lived like that.Over all it was a well thought out book but for a certain type and group of people. It just fell short of my expectations and I don't think it will appeal to people who don't live the "Sex in the City" life style.

This book might be good for someone who is just starting his/her online dating journey.
