Does the thought of joining a dating site invoke feelings of fear and anxiety—or, worse, insecurity or unworthiness? If so, then The Grown Woman’s Guide to Online Dating is the book for you. With practical advice about how these sites work, what to expect, and when to join and quit, along with proven tips for making the most of them, The Grown Woman’s Guide equips readers with all they need to take the plunge.

Four years after an unexpected divorce, bestselling writer and funny lady Margot Starbuck found herself venturing into the unknown waters of online dating. What she discovered surprised her—and changed her. With her signature sharp wit and a solid biblical foundation, Margot shares what she learned, including how to:

  • determine which sites are best and what to expect;
  • write a first message that is most likely to get a response;
  • avoid common pitfalls in creating your profile; and
  • live out the truth that you are God’s beloved.

So dive into embracing your true value and drawing closer to God even in the midst of fear and questions. Because whatever your endgame might be, richness awaits. Margot promises, “You got this, girl!”

 

“Gives you concrete steps for dating well, from the beginning to the end, all while reminding you just how loved you already are.”

—Chrystal Evans Hurst, bestselling author and speaker 

 

“With humor, wisdom, and practical answers, Margot’s heart and voice shine through this book, and I can’t wait to send it to my single friends!”

—Bianca Juarez Olthoff, pastor, speaker, and author of the bestselling How to Have Your Life Not Suck

Rashad Jennings | former NFL Running Back & Dancing With The Stars Season 24 Champion

“Because I know so many people, I’ve never seriously considered online dating. But after checking out Margot’s book, it might just be in the cards! Not only does she take the guesswork out of it all, but her wit and transparency makes the concept so much more inviting. Ladies, I have no doubt you will find it very insightful!”

Bianca Juarez Olthoff | pastor, speaker, and author of the best-selling book, How To Have Your Life Not Suck

“With humor, wisdom, and practical answers, Margot speaks not just theoretically, but realistically. There are a ton of dating books in the world, but she narrows the playing field and speaks to problems within dating for grown women. Her heart and voice shine through this book and I can't wait to send it to my single friends!”

Chrystal Evans Hurst | bestselling author and speaker

“In this social media-saturated world, pursuing a relational connection through a screen can seem silly, superficial, and to some, unspiritual. In The Grown Woman's Guide to Online Dating, Margot puts to rest the taboos that have deterred many women from taking a chance at love. Whether you are new to online dating or have lost hope after years of underwhelming results, Margot navigates this voyage with you and helps you avoid the characteristic setbacks and pitfalls of virtual connection. This guide will give you concrete steps for dating well from the beginning to the end, all while reminding you just how loved you already are.”

A Must Read For Anyone Dating!
I loved this book. It is a must read for anyone who is dating. Even though the subject is online dating and the author geared the book towards women, there are universal truths for any method of dating as well as truths that men need to hear. I love that the author based it upon Christian Principles as well. As I read the book, I laughed, I gasped with astonishment, and I cried. I eagerly turned the pages to learn more. Bravo to the author!

I've been married for almost 26 years. That's before cell phones existed and the internet was very very new. (Yikes.) I've never done online dating. And yet I'm a therapist working with quite a few women who are doing online dating and I wanted to figure out how better to support and help them! I am SO thankful for this book. It is going to help me to be able to understand my clients better and it will help me to point them to practical tools, facts to help them feel more normal, and excellent spiritual truths to center and ground them. This book is funny, relatable, challenging, and includes really important deeper questions to reflect on. Even the fact that only 10% of messages on dating apps will get a response is helping me to encourage my clients in what is normal and not personal to them! I appreciated the focus on prayer and I LOVE the focus on worthiness, and the challenges to the lies that so many of us believe. What an excellent, useful and hopeful book. Thank you, Margot Starbuck!

Just started online dating and the first relationship was wrong on many levels, but a positive learning experience in the end. Reeling from that experience this book was a welcome comfort in what to look for and avoid in the future, as well as to hold my head up and realize I am worth the wait to find the right man. So encouraging and the humor takes the sting out of the mistakes ~ thanks Margot!

I’ve been on an online dating “sabbatical” for two years. What was happening before never seemed to work and I didn’t understand what was happening. Enter The Grown Woman’s Guide to Online Dating. This book is easy to read and chock full of useful tidbits. I don’t know if I am ready yet to jump back in, but when and until I do, centering my search for a mate around god will alleviate many of the stresses I felt previously. Thank you Margot for the truth upon which you build this book. I feel like a more whole person after reading it.

I am a married woman, yet read this book so I could be a better friend and neighbor to the many people I know who are navigating the gifts and challenges of online dating. Read this book to laugh (Margot is hilarious!!!), to gain wisdom for the journey, and most of all to feel less alone in the unfolding of your personal life story or those of people you love. Margot is your trusted guide for this journey - look nowhere else.

Starting with a foundation that you are absolutely loved by God, this book provides thoughtful, insightful and practical advice on how to navigate the world of online dating. But it is so much more and goes so much deeper, as the author combines data, personal experience and the experience of others to delve into the thoughts and emotions that are naturally a part of seeking meaningful relationships. And it is presented in such an engaging and humorous way!

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved her stories!
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2020
I enjoyed the advice but especially loved the author's stories of her own experiences on dating sites. As she had experience on 16 different sites, would have loved a recap of the strengths and weaknesses she might have seen at each, but perhaps that is beyond the scope of this book. Loved the discussion of taking a sabbath from the constant urge to check responses. This is a great resource for adult women entering the online dating world.
