If you feel like you’re inundated every day with online ads, unwanted solicitations and suspected scams, you’re not alone. New polling shows a shockingly high number of Americans, an estimated 4 in 10, are subjected to suspected scams on a daily basis, with 3 in 10 of those polled admitting they’ve lost money.

During more than a decade of online dating, I got some valuable help through regular visits with a therapist. During those visits she recommended some books to help me cope with the stresses of online dating, of which there were many! One of those books was The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. It focuses on four simple yet powerful agreements to live by. The agreements are with yourself. These agreements helped me tremendously as I applied them to my online dating.
