I have several of my dating books on sale at Amazon right now. It’s temporary, so be sure to check them out before they go back up to the regular price. Here’s what you’ll find:

Dating on a Budget

It’s hard enough to meet someone special today and combine that with a limited budget? It can be frustrating, to say the least. It’s not the amount of money spent, it’s the thought and time that goes into dating that will make you stand out. Even when you’re trying to impress someone new, there are ways to make a great impression if you’re on a budget. Dating expert Cherie Burbach gives you ideas on how to meet new people, go on dates, and build a relationship in a frugal yet fun way.

First Date 101

First Date 101 will help you ask someone out, give tips on finding quality people to date, and offer solutions to make your very first date the best ever. Also included is information about ending a first date, date ideas, and how to get a second date.

Date Ideas for Every Season

Part of the problem with dating is trying to think of something to do. You meet this great guy or gal, and you want to impress them. You’re so excited about going out that when it comes time to figure out what to do, you may be stumped by nervousness or being put on the spot.

Date Ideas for Every Season offers date ideas for each of the four seasons, as well as holidays and special occasions. There are date ideas for dog lovers, for Valentines’ Day, and that all important first date in addition to Fall, Spring, Winter, and Summer date ideas.

In today’s economy, it’s also nice to have some frugal date ideas in mind. That’s why you’ll also find date ideas under $5. If you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, there is also a list of date ideas from A-Z and 101 date ideas.

Congratulations to the two winners of my book contest over at the Crazy for Books blog. Each winner gets a copy of my dating book, Internet Dating Is Not Like Ordering a Pizza.

The turn out for the contest was fabulous, which really makes me happy. I’ve had quite a few contests in the last year for this book and I’m always very surprised when a bunch of people still want to enter a contest to win it! (And when they buy it – even better

A few of you commented on the guest article I wrote for Crazy for Books and wondered where you could find some additional dating articles by me. If you’re over 50 and online dating, I can direct you to an article I wrote for Match.com a few years ago. Many of my articles are also on Suite101. At last count, I had almost 300, so you’re sure to find something of interest there!

Many people also email me directly each week with questions. So if you’ve got something you’d like to ask, feel free to contact me and I’ll try my best to get back to you.

Kimberly Dawn Neumann recently contacted me for some info on her recent article on AOL called, “Man’s Three-Dates-a-Day Plan Pays Off In Marriage.” It’s about a guy that went on three coffee dates a day until he found his true love. I say, “Good for him!”

Kimberly asked what I thought of the strategy in scheduling lots of dates until you meet the right one. Obviously since I basically did the same thing (smile!) I thought it was a fabulous idea. Do check out her article and let me know if it’s something you would do!

I’m back at The Writer’s Life today, this time talking about Ten Things You Never Knew About Me.

Think you’ll read anything that surprises you?

Part 2 of my interview with The Love Knot is up today:

http://www.theloveknot.net/2009/01/get-to-know-cherie-burbach-author-of_29.html

This time around they asked me “What makes internet dating different from…well, the typical dating scenario?”

It’s a great question. Because Internet dating IS very different than other dating methods. Check out the link for my answer. They also asked me, “What’s the funniest/craziest/scariest thing that happened to you when you were internet dating?”

You know you want the answer to that one!

I’ve got a two-part interview happening over at The Love Knot.

(Thanks to Cez and Lynn over there, btw.) They asked me some great questions, like “How did you come up with the title of Internet Dating is Not Like Ordering a Pizza?”

No other interviewer has asked me that before! (And wouldn’t YOU like to know!) They also asked about how I got into Internet dating and how I think it’s different than other forms of meeting new people.

I think you’ll enjoy so do check it out. And remember, there’s a second part to the interview so do stop back!
