Once-timid nontechnical types are using it to shop for everything including love... as the web becomes more accessible. Hogan, a relationships adviser for AmericanSingles.com, stresses the importance of learning about ourselves from the ways we interact and describe ourselves online. Through a series of questions in each chapter, readers perform a self-assessment, which will, according to the author, help them understand what qualities are important to them in a potential mate. Unlike some recently published Internet dating manuals, this book does not offer a list of hot spots and things to say the first time you "meet." Instead, Hogan addresses the concerns of individuals seeking mature, long-term relationships. This book is not for beginners, as the author does not adequately explain Internet terminology or the various means of Internet courting. Likewise, veterans may feel put off by the commonsensical advice and the concentration on professional dating services. Nevertheless, this title does offer some useful guidance and can be considered for libraries with Internet-savvy patrons.

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.
