Dear Reader,
Thank you for taking this time to go on a journey of self-discovery with me. I hope you can come away from this with the realization that everyone struggles with dating and that everyone has bad times. We are in this together, whether we realize it or not.
My motivation to write this book came mostly from wanting to make people laugh. Making people laugh is one of my favorite things to do and to think I could reach so many more with the written word. Besides the laughs, there was the idea of pushing boundaries. Women are looked down on when they talk about the sex life, especially if the have a high number. It should not be that way. Women can and should be able to talk as freely about their sex lives as men without being ostracized.
I want everyone to know that no matter your sex number, you still deserve love. Your sexual past should not limit your future. Be safe in your exploits. Enjoy your time on this planet. Be kind to one another.
Most importantly, don’t forget to laugh with your friends. Laughing and being ridiculous with your friends is one of the best ways to spend your life.
Shannon Yingst is a woman with dreams far beyond her reach. Not because she isn’t ambitious, but because she is short, and her dreams are on the high shelves. On her tip toes reaching for those dusty aspirations, she hopes to achieve the daunting task of entertaining the masses with the written word. Shannon likes to write while listening to Star Wars soundtracks, stand outside while it snows, and get confused playing board games. She would love to spend her days reading on the beach with a waiter bringing her frozen margaritas and snacks as the sun moves about the sky, but for now, she will continue to work at her desk in Jersey.
If They Can’t Kiss Right: Surviving Online Dating is her latest book.

Online dating: the new way of life. It seems like the only logical way to meet people anymore. The rest of our lives are on the internet, so why not our love lives too? Because if you wait for your friends to set you up, you’ll only be disappointed with their choice of Roger from accounting, the epitome of mouth breathing, booger eating morons.
Fortunately, there are no Rogers from accounting in this tale. There are, however, many other bad choices. But along the way, I learned what I want, and what I don’t want in a relationship. I learned good qualities to seek and bad qualities to leave behind. I also learned a lot about myself in the process, too. The biggest gain I got from my foray into online dating, though? Writing this book and passing along some of the life lessons I discovered through a painful trial-and-error process.
If you think your dating life is bad, take a gander at mine. Relive the awkward moments, soak in the unnecessary drama, and don’t forget to learn a thing or two. Men and women alike will be able to read this and take-home solid dating advice for the future.
Laugh. Learn. Love. Question why some humans are so insane. Maybe even see yourself in some of the pages. But above all, take to heart all the things I figured out along the way. It’ll save you the heartache and trouble. Trust me.
