Online dating, particularly when looking for an f-buddy, is pretty daunting especially if you’ve never done it before. We’ve already published a fair bit of advice when it comes to what you should and shouldn’t do, but if you’d like a second, or even a third opinion, then we’ve compiled a short list of the best books on the market that may be able to help you.
1. Facebook Dating Secrets: For Men and Women
Facebook is less of a phenomena then it is a way of life for most people these days. If you’re already here on our site then it’s safe to say you already have a fully functional facebook profile. This book is actually pretty useful in refining your chat up lines and ways to generate attraction. The downsides are that your profile is visible to all of your friends and family who you may not want to share your dating habits with. Use it as warm up for finding your perfect f-buddy.
