Ask the Cyber-Dating Expert
Join Cyber-Dating Expert Julie Spira on Saturday, March 6, 2010 as she welcomes Debra Goldsetin and Olivia Baniuszewicz , co-authors of Flirtexting: How to Text Your Way to His Heart to Ask the Cyber-Dating Expert Radio Show.
Living by the moto, “we date therefore we text,” Debra and Olivia, demystified the Flirtext in their first book! As single women gallivanting the NYC social scene circa 2006, they began noticing that their cell phones had become a crucial part of their dating lives. These savvy flirts quickly picked up on the fact that texting had become the NEW first step in dating. They knew they weren’t the only ones who were mystified by how the game had changed since texting was introduced; so they continued to date, flirt and text, until they felt they had successfully demystified this new flirting trend.
Debra and Olivia named this dating phenomenon FlirtextingTM and put the rules down on paper once and for-all in their popular “how-to” guide, FlirtextingTM.
If you’re interested in learning exactly how to flirt through the convenience of your iPhone or BlackBerry you won’t want to miss this show!

Los Angeles Times – Make it personal, keep it real
February 15, 2010
There’s an abundance of expert dating advice for the long Valentine’s Day weekend to help you find love online beyond February. Whitney Friedlander from the Los Angeles Times wrote an excellent article featuring expert advice on how to write an online dating profile to get the best response.
I provided expert my advice and tips for the article on how to create a successful online profile.
“Keep profiles brief and specific. Leave the novel at home. Long, drawn-out profiles and sob stories don’t belong on an online dating site. Use a catchy screen name. For instance, I use PianoBaby and Paperback Writer. It makes it easy for a man to approach me because they have something to say. Don’t put pictures of you and your pets or children. Don’t post party photos — a picture of a man and his buddy might confuse the person looking at the profile [who would wonder] who the right person is in the photo.”
–Julie Spira, author of CyberDatingExpert.com and the book “The Perils of Cyber-Dating”
The article includes other tips from Match.com, eHarmony, Online Personals Watch, Plenty of Fish, and Spark Networks, owner of JDate.

The Life of The Cyber Dating Expert
February 14, 2010
Having a career as a writer and dating advice columnist allows me to meet interesting people. I hear about their quests to find love online. I share their success stories in the Cyber Love Story of the Week. I write about their dating disasters in the Peril of the Week. I interview interesting people in the world of online dating. I love my life.
Often, I am asked about my personal life. Many wonder who am I currently dating. They ask me if I have met someone online. I have met hundreds. They want to know what online dating sites I recommend. I answer with, “There’s something for everyone.” I hear, “What was your best date?” and “What was your worst date?” Sharing personal information with the popularity of Facebook and other social networking sites has not only become the norm, but it has become expected. Years ago it would have been considered exploitation. Now it is fondly known as status updates and tweets, filled with friends, connections, and followers.
As I sit here on the one-year anniversary of my first published book, The Perils of Cyber-Dating: Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online, I reflect on why I felt the need to share my personal stories and why I became so passionate about helping others find love on the web.
It was 16 years ago when I posted my first online dating profile. I was a charter member of Love@AOL. It was before the days of Match.com and high-speed Internet. I learned then, as I know now, the vast opportunities that can be found on the Internet. I was a former radio broadcaster, turned Internet executive. Along the way, I became a super-successful cyberdater.
I reinvented my former radio career and every Saturday enjoy interviewing online dating CEOs and bestselling relationship authors on Ask the Cyber-Dating Expert Radio Show where I educate singles on all the options on finding love online.
Although I made the conscious decision to reveal very personal stories– some which were extremely painful, others hilarious, and some heartfelt, I have also made the decision to keep my present personal life private, for a while at least.
For now, I will continue writing about dating, love and romance in a Web 2.0 World. I am appreciative for the many online dating sites that feature my articles. I have a whole new group of friends who are authors and dating experts. I enjoy educating and entertaining my audience. I am often told that I have made a difference in the lives of singles who can relate to my stories. I help people fall in love online. My personal experience and advice has touched many. This brings me joy.
On this very important one-year anniversary of my book release and radio show launch, I am very grateful. As I read the two Los Angeles Times articles today written by Whitney Friedlander called, Make it personal, keep it real and Finding the Right Online Dating Service, where I provided dating advice on Valentine’s Day, I know that I made the right decision in publishing my tell-all memoir. In the manner that I normally end my radio show, I will end this article as well with, “I look forward to seeing you in cyberspace.”

Peril of the Week – The Valentine’s Break Up
February 11, 2010
There’s no good time to break up with the woman or man in your life. However, there are some SACRED days that one should respect when it comes to matters of the heart. These days include Christmas, New Year’s, Birthdays, and of course, Valentine’s Day.
We all remember that Jessica Simpson got dumped by football star, Tony Romo the day before her birthday bash. Romo didn’t want to be the “Ken” in her “Ken and Barbie” theme party.
Flash forward to Valentine’s week. A handsome gentleman was courting a woman that he met in an online dating site. He said he wanted to pursue a romantic relationship with her. He was smitten. He called her daily, told her she was beautiful, and made plans for future dates. Everything seemed to be going well and she expected an invitation for Valentine’s Day as he said he wasn’t dating anyone else. It appeared he was doing everything right.
Suddenly, one week before Valentine’s Day, he cancelled their plans for the weekend, without an excuse. He rescheduled for the following week–the week where you should already know if you are on the calendar for February 14th.
Then came the arrival of the e-mail breakup just a few days before Valentine’s Day. The one where he said, “Let’s be friends.”
The email message said, “As for us; I think we are in the friend zone as I am obviously not the man for you. I’ll spare you all the boilerplate of what a wonderful person you are (although it’s true) but the simple reality is that I am not the man who will be able to provide you with happiness, joy and contentment for the balance of your long and very meaningful life. What you are looking for I cannot provide and I’m sorry I’m unable to do so as I’m very attracted to you.”
Was it a polite pre-Valentine’s breakup? Sure. He could have just disappeared. The bottom line appeared, that he didn’t want her to be his Valentine. Happiness, joy and contentment forever? It was too soon to know that. Was it the pressure of the date? “It’s not you, it’s me” is old line. She surmised that he found another Valentine and he just wasn’t that into her after all.
