introduction
I WANT TO PREFACE THIS book by saying I am not a relationship expert. Nor do I hold any certification in counseling, or any advanced degrees in the field of psychology. What I do have is 12 years of experience with Online dating sites like Plenty of Fish, OKCupid, Tagged, Match.com, Matchdoctor, BlackPeopleMeet, Bumble, Tinder, and Instagram.
I was prompted to write this book because of some of my girlfriends asked me how did I find my husband online when they were having so much trouble. After looking at their profiles and messages I found out why.
