Weaving true stories of people looking for love online with ground-breaking research and interviews with sociologists and mental health professionals, this book will help you understand the sometimes-contradictory effects of online dating, recognise why potential matches are interacting with you the way that they are, and provide you with the tools for finding meaningful connections while honouring your feelings and protecting your mental health.
