Every day the following comments come up worldwide in casual dating-related conversations:
Author Rita Kranson Williams jokes that, at age 50-something, she hadn't had a "date of the non-dried fruit variety" for some years. This was true, she says, "for a very good reason."
When a male friend asked Kranson Williams to help him write a profile for an online dating site, she was happy to comply. Then, it hit her. "If I help all my friends to find someone, who will I do things with myself?" she thought.
So, Kranson Williams began her own adventures,which she, and her main character "Elizabeth" describe as a "one year period of serial online dating."
On this journey, they (she) met :
Kranson Williams writes about Bachelors 1-8 in her e-book, but she remarks she "wasn't brave enough to actually include a chapter in the book about Mr. Pervert" who she met "exclusively via video cam." In internet language terms, she thought that chapter would be TMI (too much information).
WinkdotCom and http://www.secondchancedatingonline.com take readers/bloggers through these adventures, which Kranson Williams describes as "real life dating dramas (traumas) of a 53, 54, 55 year old divorcee and her friends."
She also remarks throughout the book how surprised she is at how little dating has actually changed since she was a teenager. She says she is also reminded of that fact by listening to her teenagers' dating stories.
In addition, to funny, real-life stories the blog and book combo offers:
In case you're wondering, Kranson-Williams did actually meet someone online and they have been together trying to make it work for the past two years.
The author remarks that she "went through the whole dating thing in my teens and twenties, and I did it again in my 50s. This time, I hope I've learned enough so that I won't have to embark on the journey again in my 70s."
"One of the main things I want to do by publishing this book and blog is to encourage people not to give up on finding someone to share things with.
"I try to encourage people my age to use a computer, Facebook, Twitter, and online dating services. I also try to get them not to be afraid to use a secure payment method online. After all, millions of people are doing these things successfully," Kranson Williams concludes.
For the record, Kranson Williams says her book and blog are not only for singles. "Married people or people in relationships can learn how to appreciate the fact they don't have to resort to internet dating," she jokes.
The author is offering a holiday price reduction (regular ebook price is $27, now available for $14.95) so "readers can find someone to share Valentine's Day with in 2010."
