Love at First Site: Tips and Tales for Online Dating Success

Whether a first-timer, a seasoned dater, or a curious bystander, this program will teach you how to successfully navigate online dating… and hear some entertaining stories along the way.

Erika Ettin '03 will take her expertise from her online dating consulting business and lay it out in an easy-to-use and exciting guide to the world of online dating. Erika shows how to increase your odds for connections by marketing yourself well. Her background in economics helps her use the numbers game in her favor. It's a simple equation: more profile views equal more dates, more dates equal a better chance at finding your match.

Erika's advice includes pointers for choosing your best profile picture, writing a winning profile, crafting emails that catch someone's attention, and planning the first date. Questions from Erika's clients will save you the time of wondering how to approach strange situations—they're all in here! And tales of dating adventures from Erika herself will leave you both encouraged and entertained.

Erika holds a BA in economics from Cornell University and an MBA from Georgetown University. She worked in finance for over seven years before launching her business, A Little Nudge, which has been featured on NPR, The Washington Post, and AskMen.com, among other media outlets. Erika has worked with hundreds of clients in the United States and abroad!
