Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever said to yourself "I should write a book"? Well, that's what John P. Gavin did - except he started with a newspaper column. Gavin wrote an advice column called The Online Dating Coach for a San Francisco Bay Area paper. It was written in the spirit of a man telling women what guys are really up to out there in dating land. The column had to do with things like what turns a guy into a 'player', and how to then spot that player. He also wrote about what a woman should do when the guy she's dating starts giving signals that he wants out (hint: It's not what your friends will tell you to do) and other stuff like that. It's all good advice, and pretty funny to boot, so he collected it into a book. But the book is more than just advice. You see, during all the time Gavin was writing columns about dating, he was also, well, dating... and crashing motorcycles, and getting his heart stepped on - and falling in love. And what he noticed after a while - okay it was brought to his attention by the woman he was chasing - is that wherever he was in his (dating) life at the time it usually seemed to find its way into the column he wrote that week. So how could he leave that stuff out? The book, "Online Dating Sucks... but it's how I fell in love" is not just a collection of really good dating advice columns - it's also the story of a year in John Gavin's life, during which you won't believe what happens (no kidding - you can't make this stuff up).
