Does the thought of joining a dating site invoke feelings of fear and anxiety—or, worse, insecurity or unworthiness? If so, then The Grown Woman’s Guide to Online Dating is the book for you. With practical advice about how these sites work, what to expect, and when to join and quit, along with proven tips for making the most of them, The Grown Woman’s Guide equips readers with all they need to take the plunge.
Four years after an unexpected divorce, bestselling writer and funny lady Margot Starbuck found herself venturing into the unknown waters of online dating. What she discovered surprised her—and changed her. With her signature sharp wit and a solid biblical foundation, Margot shares what she learned, including how to:
- determine which sites are best and what to expect;
- write a first message that is most likely to get a response;
- avoid common pitfalls in creating your profile; and
- live out the truth that you are God’s beloved.
“Gives you concrete steps for dating well, from the beginning to the end, all while reminding you just how loved you already are.”—Chrystal Evans Hurst, bestselling author and speaker
“With humor, wisdom, and practical answers, Margot’s heart and voice shine through this book, and I can’t wait to send it to my single friends!” —Bianca Juarez Olthoff, pastor, speaker, and author of the bestselling How to Have Your Life Not Suck
This. Book. Is. Perfect.
(At least it's perfect for someone like me: approaching 40, overwhelmed by all.of.the.options, a little terrified of getting back out there.)
The last time I "tried" online dating (and I use quotation marks because my last several attempts have been halfhearted at best), I wished for a how-to guide that would walk me through the process. Google sort of helped, but I still felt pretty lost. The Grown Woman's Guide to Online Dating is exactly what I was looking for!
Full of humor and practical advice, this book is basically a step-by-step guide to online dating. As I read, I recognized things I'd done "wrong" in the past, and I quickly learned things that might make me more successful. Only God knows if online dating will ever lead me to a husband, but I definitely feel more prepared for the next time I decide to get back out there. 5 stars.
