Summary

Entering the world of online dating can be daunting and even dangerous. Virtual Foreplay addresses the need for a guidebook to this still largely unexplored area, but the author takes an unusual approach. Using real-life examples, she helps readers find their self, soul, and passion in a way that makes presenting themselves online an honest and satisfying experience. Chapters like “Fifty Ways to Delete Your Lover” and “Don’t Talk to Strangers — Except on the Internet!” keep the discussion lively as well as informative.
