Blurb:
So many frogs. So few princes.
Every single (and soon-to-be-single) woman knows the Dating Horror Stories. The guy who charms your panties off before he bolts. The funeral planner with a foot fetish. The Early Ejaculator. Or that filmmaker looking for a soul mate—provided you don't mind he lied about his height, his weight, his wife, and... oh look, a micro-penis. How nice.
The bad news is that these guys exist. The good news? There are ways to find them, avoid them, and concentrate your energies on non-fuckwits. Who, as it turns out, also exist. Hurrah!
From deciphering Man Speak to the sexy perks of 30-year-old men, Catfishing 101, navigating hookup culture, and the safety precautions every woman should take, author Alethea Spiridon taps into her own hilarious—and occasionally heart-crushing—experiences in the dating world. Funny, forthright, and hopeful, Kissing Strangers is a survival-based how-to guide about looking for love online ... and how to separate the men from the frogs.

To Find a Prince You Have
to
Kiss Some Toads
Back on the Block
I was curious and the solution was easy. Here were tons of
potential suitors online. Just pick one, right?
Nope.
It means diving in and wading through thousands of men to
hopefully come out with a few you won’t mind giving up a few hours for.
I joined Match.com for eighty dollars and three months, set up a
picture (albeit an older one; yeah, I did that my first time), and wrote a
brilliantly edgy, smart ass, and to the point profile. The messages and winks
started rolling in.
Finding a decent man is hard work.
I sent my brother a text
one night: Are men as awful as I remember?
His response blew me away: Oh sure. Good men are hard to find.
That is very accurate. That’s why I have few friends. We know that too and
avoid those guys.
Ha! Well, there you have it. A good man is hard to find. If
I intend to find one (and I do), I can’t give up.
Three hundred days to a wakeup
I decided to go in hard for a year and see what was out there, how
it worked, how men worked. What this dating thing was really all about and
like. This is part of my story and what I’ve discovered along the way. Learn
from it. Laugh at it.
Girlfriend to girlfriend, this is what I know and wish someone had
told me.
You’ve
Decided to Try Online Dating …Great!
Once you’ve decided to try online dating, you need to figure out
which sites to go on. Each site has a different vibe and feel to it, and the
only way you can effectively gauge that is by going on and figuring out what
you like…and don’t.
My first bit of insight
for you is this: Dating is a numbers game.
It’s as simple as that.
Dramatic? Not in the least! Come back after you read this in full, and after
you online date a bit, and see if you don’t agree. I want you to have fun
kissing strangers, but I want you to go in with a realistic vision too. I
want you to know how to online date like a boss.
Date by the numbers. That’s how men do it! And on this battlefield,
there are fewer men for every woman. Like three women for every man. Ugh.
Seriously. We’re literally duking it out on the battlefield. But let’s not!
Please. We can share (and some of you love doing that, legitimately). That
being said, the sad truth is that the odds are not in our favour, it seems. But
they can be if…
We date like a man! You
might get rejected, but you’ll be rejected from the guys you want a
chance with. If you simply wait for guys to reach out to you, you might only
hear from the guys you already know you don’t want.
So… get on the sites I
list below and get on them all even. Rotate between three and four. Play by
those damn numbers, because that’s how men do it and that’s how you’ll increase
your chances of getting the guy.

Alethea is a writer and editor (lots of romance books, so many) out of Ontario, Canada.
