MY BESTSELLING NEW ONLINE DATING BOOK recounts my funny, eventful journey from heartache to happiness, as a middle-aged black man on the London internet date scene. As well as crazy stories you’ll read my best tips for how men and women can use online dating apps better to find what they want. By Ben Arogundade. Feb. 14, 2025.

I WAS STOOD UP, GHOSTED, verbally abused, propositioned for sex and asked to be a surrogate father to an unborn child. These are just some of the things that happened to me during my funny, emotional, crazy time online dating in London as a middle-aged black man.


The lessons I learned have been encapsulated in my bestselling new online dating book for the benefit of men and women engaged with online date sites and apps such as 'Tinder', 'Bumble', 'Hinge' and others, and who, crucially, wish to avoid the first date mistakes that I made.


Is online dating not working for you? Could it be because your profile pictures and bio are poorly executed, or because you do not know how to identity your best matches, or because you can't be bothered to work harder or smarter at it, or because you are emotionally not ready to be internet dating in the first place?


Fix these things and you will instantly boost your chances within online dating apps.


My new internet dating self-help book will reveal the secrets and best practices you need to know to achieve this. Read it and learn the latest strategies, ideas, tips, research-based guidelines and innovations that will take your online dating profile to new levels of excellence.


Oh, and along the way, I will tell you how I used my own date tips to progress from heartache to happiness — albeit not straight away.


BEST ONLINE DATE BOOK FOR ORIGINAL IDEAS

My dating guide will show you how to become an 'emotional detective' — by forensically analysing the clues and hidden messages within the words and photos online singles post in their dating app profiles, you will learn to identify narcissists, liars and those concealing truths, BEFORE meeting them, saving you time and energy.


TOP INTERNET DATING APP BIO TIPS

My book will teach you how to create and optimise your online dating app profile to attract the best matches -- revealing why you should never wear sunglasses in your image bio, why you should always smile, and why you should always include a written summary. This guide details the essential rules of engagement and online etiquette that you need in order to successfully navigate the precarious landscape of Internet dating apps.


ONLINE DATING APP SITES FOR MEN AND WOMEN

The story reviews the leading online dating sites, with guidelines about which apps to download, and which options are free or paid for. It also explains online dating terms such as 'ghosting', 'benching' and 'catfishing' -- why they happen, and what you can do about them.


STATE OF INTERNET DATE

My book also provides an overview of online dating's major issues, including;

* Why you have a less than 20 per cent chance of finding love online.

* Why black women who seek love should never use 'Tinder'.

* Why all online dating apps should carry a government health warning.

* Why Internet dating apps would prefer that you don't find love.

* Why 90 per cent of online daters may not actually want a relationship.


TOP RATED READS FOR MEN AND WOMEN

Since its release my online dating book has become the top recommended paperback for men and women on the subject of online romance. Whether we like it or not, the future of how people meet is digital, and so the sooner singles learn to master it, the better. If you change your approach you will get better matches that will bring you closer to finding what you are looking for — whether that be someone to talk to, sex, a relationship or marriage.
