Online Dating in a New World: Navigating the Impact of COVID-19 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798666756539)

Quarantines, lockdowns, stay-at-home orders, and closed public spaces: how are we supposed to meet new people? If you're single and not-so-loving it, the COVID-19 impact on your personal life is a real problem.

Online dating is the answer. And it doesn't have to be scary.

Maybe you've heard the crazy stories about online dating disasters and said: "online dating isn't for me." Maybe you've posted your own profile, but the results you've gotten weren't what you were looking for, so you deleted the app and moved on. You probably didn't think in your 20s that this is where you'd end up in your 40s, or 50s, or beyond: trying to figure out a complicated social code written by kids young enough to be your, well, kids.

Don't give up now. COVID-19 doesn't have to spell the end of your love life. The right person is out there, and we're going to help you find them.

A helpful guide to online dating for men and women alike.

We'll help you understand how online dating should really work for lasting success and relationship happiness. With separate sections devoted to what men need to know and what women need to know, you can get a true picture of what each gender is looking for in a partnerships and relationships.

Learn about creating your own successful profile, how to read between the lines of other profiles, and how to set up the perfect online date.

Kindness and compassion are the number one ingredients.

This isn't a book about playing mind games, or a guide to making yourself into someone you aren't. This is a book to help you find love and happiness.
