I’m very proud to announce that I’ve published a new how to guide, or maybe it’s a memoir, or maybe it’s something else. I’m not really sure what to call it, but this is how I’m describing it.
A long time ago, before the advent of matching and swiping, online dating was largely made up of random outreach and hoped for happenstance. In this chaotic milieu, a world of nothing but shots in the dark, a charming and witty initial message could mean the difference between meeting the love of your life and sadly sitting home alone in the dark, eating lukewarm soup. Part guidebook, part memoir, and part history lesson, The Lost Art of Initial Messaging tracks one man’s attempts to find the perfect initial message. Contained within this book are unique jewels, lovingly crafted for each prospective mate. At times poignant, at times witty, and more often than not bordering on complete ridiculousness, each represent a valiant attempt to declare: I’m here. I see you. Do you see me too?
