We’ve just added The Little Black Book of Big Red Flags to the Cyber-Dating Expert Reading Room.

The book is a perfect beach bag read and is filled with “Big Red Flag” stories, both from the authors and from readers of their blog, Big Red Flags. In addition, you’ll find a list of Top 10 red flags at the end of each chapter. For anyone who has ever had a bad date or stayed in a relationship too long knowing  something  just wasn’t right, this book is for you. You’ll relate to the authors’ stories and laugh along the way.

I had the opportunity to meet with two of the authors Natasha Burton and Meagan McCrary to find out what inspired them to write this book and to find out their favorite Big Red Flag stories.

When I had the opportunity to read an advanced copy of Sealing the Deal: The Love Mentor’s Guide to Lasting Love, I not only jumped at the chance, but I also formally endorsed this relationship book. I believe in Dr. Diana Kirschner’s work. As the Love Mentor, Dr. Diana gives you concrete tools to really help you find and keep the love you are looking for.

You’ll start off by signing a “Lasting Love Contract.” It’s been proven that if you actually write your desires and wishes down and read them, you’ll have a much more likely chance of having them come to fruition. Dr.Diana also instructs you to write down your fears and will help you determine if he’s really “the one.”

I encourage readers to pick up a copy of this book,  because we all know that everyone wants to love and be loved. With Dr. Diana’s help, you’ll start believing in the possibilities. Her relationship advice is spot on. Sealing the Deal is a welcome addition to the Cyber Dating Expert Reading Room. Enjoy!

It’s with great pleasure to add the eHarmony Guide to Dating the Second Time Around to the Cyber Dating Expert Reading Room.

The book, edited by Dr. Gian Gonzaga, Ph.D, director of research and development at eHarmony Labs gives proven methods to finding a love that lasts. Many people are finding themselves single after a long term relationship or marriage. Whether through divorce, death, or a painful breakup, this book will give you some exercises and tools as you jump back into the dating scene.

For those of you starting over again, it’s a terrific guidebook to evaluate what you want in your relationship at this stage of your life. You’ll reflect on past relationships on what worked, what you didn’t like, and will take inventory of your personal life.

Are You Too Picky? is a new dating and relationship book by bestselling author, Julie Spira.

As a dating coach and advice columnist, Spira has interviewed hundreds of singles about their desire to love and be loved. However, often their pickiness has gotten in the way of love. They don’t want to settle and time just passes them by.

“Whether it’s physical, financial, or geographical, we put too many restrictions that get in the way of love,” said Spira.

“When I meet singles who have met online and crossed continents for love, I find it heartwarming,” Spira adds.  ”It’s my goal to give hope to singles and shake them up a bit by sharing some of these stories.”

One of the couples featured in Spira’s Cyber Love Story of the Week fell in love on MySpace. After they realized there was a connection, the woman found out her new online beau was an amputee and deaf. They are now happily married.

In Are You Too Picky? you’ll hear stories about those too picky and those who opened their hearts to find love in a variety of different ways.

If you’ve even been told you were too picky by your friends and family, we’d like to hear from you.

Julie Spira is a dating expert and author of the bestseller, The Perils of Cyber-Dating: Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online. Visit her at CyberDatingExpert.com where you can share your online dating stories and receive dating advice.

Today my friend and fellow dating and relationship author, Andrea Syrtash is celebrating. It’s the release date for her new book, He’s Just Not Your Type (and that’s a good thing): How to Find Love Where You Least Expect It, and we’re joining in on the festivities.

Last week, we were treated to a sneak peek of the book on Ask the Cyber-Dating Expert Radio Show, and it’s with great delight that I am adding this book to the Cyber-Dating Expert Reading Room as a recommended read.

Andrea’s dating and relationship advice comes from an authentic point of view. Her values are completely in line with what we talk about at Cyber-Dating Expert. She uses her own personal story of how her husband Michael, who was not her type. Now, she is happily married and discusses with great enthusiasm about the benefits of dating and mating with a man you originally thought was not your type.

Andrea calls these men the NTs. NTs come in a few flavors including:

• DNT – Departure Non-Type
• SNT – Superficial Non-Type
• CNT – Circumstantial Non-Type

She also has an appendix that includes online dating dos and don’ts.
