Synopsis
Yes, love and computers do mix! The phenomenal growth of the Internet offers potential partners an exciting new means of finding each other. Nowhere else does such an eclectic group of people gather to talk, share ideas, and make new friends—day or night. Romancing the Net goes straight to the heart of what makes online romances click and shows you everything you need to know to find your soul mate in cyberspace, including:
· An online primer—how e-mail, bulletin board systems, and commercial services work
· Online conventions and "netiquette"
· How to protect yourself from unwanted—and unwarranted—attention
· Case studies of real people who have found love online
· Incisive psychological insights into a process that causes couples who have never met to fall in love
· How to tell a cyber-sweetie from a cyber-path
· How to approach the first face-to-face meeting
Co-authored by a Net junkie and a relationship therapist, Romancing the Net introduces you to a world of adventure, excitement, and yes, even love. With this book at your side, you can fire up your laptop and log on to the cyber-highway of love!

Review
This is simply the best book about online relationships that has been written thus far. Not only do you get sage advice from people who have experienced the ups and downs of such a romance, but their experiences and stories are also included. The authors never blink when relating the cautionary tales about how online relationships can go wrong, but they do so with balance and thoughtfulness. You won't find any of the sensationalism that usually accompanies this subject despite the unfortunate title. More than that, this book is compelling and beautifully written. If you've loved someone you met online, even if you loved and lost, you'll recognize yourself on these pages.
