Welcome to Discovering Love Online

Discovering Love Online, the website, was designed to support and provide a resource for readers of Discovering Love Online: Love May Be Closer Than You Think, as well as others seeking to find the love of their lives through online dating. Into whatever group you fall, welcome to Discovering Love Online!

One of my goals in creating the book and this website was to relate my story. A more important goal was to provide you with a means of getting started on a successful search for lasting love. It’s not all that difficult once you have the right knowledge and tools, but still not as simple as using a Staples® Easy Button (or, as in our case, a “Find Love” alternative).

Goals are Attainable

Discovering Love Online originally began life as a project for an entrepreneurial course on product development. When asked to draft an idea for my forthcoming creation, several options came to mind. But, it was my wife’s proposal (no pun intended) to write a book about online dating that proved a no-brainer, and with good reason.

Prior to my first marriage, I had invested over ten years as a young adult seeking lasting companionship through conventional dating venues. I also gained more than two decades of hands-on experience in the trenches of Christian ministry serving other singles, many engaged in their own search. Most recently, after being widowed for several years, I concluded a successful adventure in online dating myself that culminated in marriage to my sweetie, Deb. All of the above combined to provide a significant vantage point on the topic. That’s the abbreviated version of how this journey began.

“Life is about extremes and all points between.”

And, speaking of journeys, everyone embarks on their own online dating odyssey with a different skill set, knowledge base, and range of experiences and expectations. Most of you are Internet proficient. It’s difficult not to be these days. Some may have already dabbled in dating online, while for others it’s a new and even daunting prospect. A few of you may struggle to even navigate the online world and use a computer or other digital device. Either way, it’s alright. Life is about extremes and all points between.

Resources are Available

Whether tech-savvy or not, online dating requires a significant investment of time on the Internet. No surprise there, right? It’s not only your venue for seeking the love of your life but a repository for many resources to aid in your search. Part of my job is to point you to the best of what’s available within and beyond the contents of Discovering Love Online: Love May Be Closer Than You Think.

In that regard, with the book available in paperback and as an ebook, it’s not always prudent to include website addresses in a printed edition or embed hyperlinks to Internet content directly within a digital product (the chief reason I’m not, save for a few exceptions). With an ever-changing digital landscape, sites close, resources get deleted and URLs change. So, to update and maintain a collection of working links, the products and services I recommend in the book will appear here in a repository of online dating resources. This allows me to redirect you to migrated content, delete links that no longer work and add valuable new materials when they appear.

Of course, you’ll find a blog here, too. This is, in fact, the first article published on it. You’ll find several helpful stories here to supplement the book and assist you in your online search for love. And, if you’re an indie author or independent publisher and have an interest in knowing what hardware and software were used to create the book and website, please read the Colophon. It’s all detailed for you there.

Disclaimers are Advisable

As you navigate this website, you’ll come across links to various resources. As a matter of full disclosure, I may receive a small commission if you follow one of the included links and make a purchase. Please be advised that such potential remuneration has no influence on editorial content.

While it’s my goal to assist you in “discovering love online” as I did, Discovering Love Online is a business venture and the revenue it derives allows me to continue to provide value-added content to each of my readers. With that said, I appreciate your support!

Acknowledgments are Important

I’m thankful to everyone who assisted in creating Discovering Love Online. To my wife and family, kudos for your patience and encouragement during the long process of writing and editing that tome and for the months involved in developing this website (and its redesign). I also appreciate the significant investments made by Deb Miller (the missis), Kathy Schoedler and Karen Shaver in providing editorial feedback that improved the contents of this work. Further, I’m indebted to Brent Bauer, Bauer Leadership Consulting, for his editorial comments and eloquently crafted forward and to André Jolicoeur, Doodlemachine, with regard to his delightful cover art and logo design (tell him Chuck Miller sent you for preferred treatment). And, to eHarmony for bringing Deb into my life. Thanks, one and all!

I’m also grateful for the short commute to my home office, my morning cup of coffee and comfy slippers. Cool Apple tech, freshly brewed iced tea, yummy milk chocolate, electricity and indoor plumbing also garner my appreciation. Moreover, I’m thankful this book and website only required twice the time to create as I thought it would…and not any longer.

Last, but only for emphasis, I’m thankful to God for gifting me with the skills and determination to bring this online dating guide and website to life as a resource for singles who long for true love and companionship. My gratitude to each of you, as well, hopeful readers.
