HOME ALONE ON VALENTINE’S NIGHT?

10 Good Reasons to give Internet Dating a go

By Caryl Rose Morgan (aka online as Marvella) author of Internet Dating Success Secrets…how to stay sane, safe and savvy online.

1. You can meet someone new without agonising about where to go to meet other singles.

2. You can mix and mingle on your own without having to drag along a friend to a singles bar or party.

3. You can ignore that zit or dark roots growing out from your blonde hair

4. You can chat to someone without putting on your make-up or dressing up.

5. You can meet someone really interesting in a completely different circle of people from those you already know; or in a different part of town; different city or country.

6. You can avoid the shame of your friends fixing you up with a terrible blind date just because he or she is a friend or relative and also single.

7. If you work in an office you can be at your desk, online, and still look like you’re working (just joking)

8. You need no longer be tempted to date or have a fling with a co-worker or your boss.

9. There is less luck and frustration involved that waiting for Fate.

10. You can increase your chances of meeting the right person by emailing a whole batch of potential love matches at once.

So read this book and give it a go! There might just be someone as sincere, likeable and intelligent as you out there!

Based on six years true-life experiences, dating men exclusively from the internet, this tell-all self-help book is being given free as a downloadable e-book for all singles home alone on Valentine’s Day at

 Revenge for past Valentine’s Day hurts and a mission to empower and inspire women never to feel left on the shelf – plus taking a shot at “viral marketing” as a way to make your brand widely known - these are all the reasons given by Caryl Morgan in her publicity drive to spread the message of her Internet Dating Success book which she is giving away free at http://www.internetdatingyes.com/ on February 14^th

Dumped and disappointed one time too many on Valentine’s Day and realising that most single women without a partner or date dread the explosion of roses and chocolates that happens all around them on February 14^th  Caryl says she had originally intended to find a publisher for the book, but the internet opens up ways to self-publish instead. Already her gesture has won her a guest appearance as a columnist in Sex Times and she will be on Nancy Richard’s show Otherwise Tuesday February 13^th

A former Women’s Editor of the Sunday Times magazine and pioneer of spiritual marketing in South Africa, she has a simple motto as her life purpose – touch a million lives; heal a million hearts, mainly through her writing.

She was pushed into internet dating by sheer refusal to curl up and be celibate after her divorce at age 50. She says:

“I was shocked and saddened recently when a group of over-40 women confided in me that they hadn’t dated – let alone had sex - for seven, eight years or more. Lack of confidence was cited as a key factor but it’s also about not knowing where to meet single available men.

Yet I was having a busy social life dating some fascinating men, so they asked me, tell us how to do “internet dating.” At a network breakfast a father of two 30-year-old daughters asked me similar questions – he felt it might help get his kids dating again. Was it safe? Which sites did I go on? What about profiles and pictures?

So I began to write it all down, and realised I had grown personally by my experiences and could pass forward my insights and many dos and don’ts. I could share what I believed were key ways for “success” – which by my standard is feeling good about yourself whether you end up with a man or not.

What makes me something of a love-coach “sex-pert”? Experience, dedication and persistence.

I have spent thousands of hours, emailing and meeting hundreds of men from all over the world in the six years since I first entered the then-murky and unknown waters of seeking romance online.

Back then in 1999 there was a '”wink, wink, say no more,” attitude about it all, associated with sex-sites, computer nerds and odd-balls.But today everybody knows somebody who has found love online or is thinking of recommending it to a friend or relative going through divorce or heartbreak.

 “Giving it away? Internet marketing guru Seth Godin talks about viral marketing… getting your name and brand into the marketplace by word or mouth or click of mouse. I am hoping for feedback and first person stories that will go into a second book which I will sell, so I am building a list of interested people who sign up to get the book.

 “In time, I also have the option of publishing it mainstream, but right now I want to give it away to all the curious and lonely women out there to say… internet dating means never having to stay home alone!”

I met my husband online in 1998. I definitely recommend it.

[Suzie-Q.]

Oh, Caryl! I have loads of material for your next book...
;)

I met my boyfriend (and the previous two) online as well. It was the best thing I could have done and am still recommending it to my single friends.

da Missus and I met in a "Adult" chatroom. We chatted for a few months. A weekend in Little Rock, Arkansas (USA). That was close to half way from where each of us lived. Her from Mississippi, me from Texas. She moved in a month later after just one weekend together. We now have gone through a miscarriage, a stillbirth, birth of twins, and an affair. Yeah, Online can work.

"5. You can meet someone really interesting in a completely different circle of people from those you already know; or in a different part of town; different city or country."

I was living in California and my husband was in London, UK when we met online. 3 years later here I am in London and have never been happier!!

My mom is always meeting guys on the internet. When somebody says "I can't meet anybody" I always say that they aren't trying hard enough because my mom seems to have more boyfriends then she knows what to do with.

I really liked the post about Rose. Thank you for the update. I am happy that she is doing well and will be wishing her well with her learner's test on Friday.

[Stefanie]

I'll have to chat with my dh online, tonight. He's out of town - which sucks for him because today is his birthday.

My SO and I met through business, but because we live in different states, have "dated" online for 2 years. Our geekiness made it hard to meet someone, but now it's perfect--just sit down at the computer, turn on the webcam and microphone, and voila. We watch TV together, chat, eat, and say goodnight nearly every day. That's 4 hours of quality time we'd never be able to afford on the phone!

This is the first time I am reading your blog, it is truly inspiring. OK, maybe not this particular post ;-), but all in all.

Regarding this posting, a friend of mine has just started internet dating. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Ciao

I admit that I say this from the comfortable position of being happily married, but am I the only one wigged out by the idea of internet matchmaker sites? I can't put my finger on why - I have made friends (women) on the internet, good, honest women - but I'm glad I didn't have to "resort" to internet dating for lack of a better term.

'Course who knows what might happen in my life blah blah and all that, but I'm glad my hubby and I met because of "fate", "chance", "divine intervention" or whatever you want to call it, instead of because we each met each other's online checklist.

I hesitated posting this but what is your comments section for, if not the occasional divergent opinion?!

[Nicole]

I have one good reason for recommending internet dating.

His name is Darren.
