Thanks to all of you who entered the contest to win a copy of Internet Dating is Not Like Ordering a Pizza.
As part of the contest, I asked you to list your gripes about online dating. I got a lot of very interesting responses. The most common were:
- Costs of joining a dating service
- Dishonesty with information on profiles
- Lack of quality people online
- Lack of responses
I hear ya. I'm curious to know how many of you have actually tried online dating and which of you tried it briefly and then gave up. (Perhaps that will be part of a future poll!)
For now, I'll bet you're all wondering who won the giveaway!
(Drum roll please......................)
The winner is:
Laura W.!
Congrats to Laura. I've got your address and will be mailing out your book very soon.
For those that didn't win, remember that online dating takes time, and some of the "horror stories" you hear are from people who haven't really tried online dating. Instead, they have chosen to believe some common online dating myths rather than move out of their comfort zone.
If you've been frustrated by online dating, remember that a great approach and great profile are the keys to Internet dating success.
Until then.... happy dating!

Well, I'm really excited. My new book, Internet Dating is Not Like Ordering a Pizza, is finally out! But more than that, I'm excited because I'm giving away a copy to one lucky Suite reader.
I hear from a lot of you folks that you've tried Internet dating without success. Some of you didn't get the responses you desired, some of you received NO responses (and that always stinks), and some of you just didn't have the happy time that others seemed to have had while Internet dating. (Like me for example!)
Internet Dating is Not Like Ordering a Pizza gives you specific examples on what to write for a profile, how to approach your online match for a date, how to get people delivered to your inbox that really seem to click with your personality, how to end a date, and how to pull your profile once you do meet the right person for you. (And believe me, you will.)
To my loyal Suite readers, I have a free copy for you! To enter to win, simply send an email to me at cherieburbach (at) yahoo (dot) com. With your message, let me know what frustrates you about Internet dating. Do this by Wednesday, December 3rd. I'll choose a winner at random and announce the lucky guy or gal here the next day. Good luck!
P.S. Canadian and U.S. residents only. :)

I always loved fall the most of any season. Here in the midwest, the leaves are turning and there's a chill in the air, and it just makes you want to snuggle up with the one you love.
If you're single, it underscores a want to be in a quality relationship. To that end, I've got a list of the best places to meet new people in fall. I hope you'll appreciate these ideas and that it sparks some creative new ideas that work for you.
And once you meet someone, here are date ideas specific for the fall season. Let fall be the time you fall in love!

Since it's National Singles Week, I thought it might be nice to celebrate with a giveaway!
Hey, why not? Being single is a great thing. It means you're waiting for someone special and not settling for someone that isn't quite right.
So to celebrate I've got a charming little book called Shag's Little Book of Love.
Here's a description from the publisher:
Romance and dating can be such a challenge these days it's not always easy to tell if your potential mate is fun or freaky, normal or neurotic (or, perhaps worse, neither). Writer Eve Lederman has been there and decided to share what she's learned in this humorous how-to. Featuring the illustrations of everybody's favorite retro artist, Shag's Little Book of Love is not your mother's guide to love and romance! Lederman offers hilarious advice on the everyday details of romance and dating, and navigating the minefields of flirtations, entanglements, and hanky-panky.
Sounds fun, right? I think you'll love this book. If you'd like to win a copy, send an email to dating@suite101.com by Monday, September 29th. I'll choose a winner at random and announce the lucky guy or gal the next day.
Good luck!
