The Real Deal

Show up real. Find the one who sees you.
In the noisy world of online dating, it's easy to lose yourself - or worse, to present a polished version that hides your truth. But love built on performance never lasts.
The Real Deal of Digital Dating is a raw, clear-eyed guide for anyone who's done pretending and ready to date with depth, clarity, and self-respect.
Written by a coach, couple's therapist, and funeral speaker with a sharp eye for what matters in love and in life, this book invites you to:
- radically own your story - without filters or facades
- write a dating profile that speaks from the soul
- attract someone who wants all of you, not just the highlights
Through reflective prompts, practical tips, and a dose of gentle provocation, you'll walk away with more than a good profile - you'll have a deeper relationship with yourself.
This is not another swipe-strategy guide.
It's a call to honesty. To courage.
And to real connection in a digital world.

Daniela Dietz is a couples counselor and singles coach with her own practice in Frankfurt am Main. Her focus is on self-awareness, radical honesty, emotional depth, and lasting change.
She has been self-employed since 2018, after deciding she no longer wanted to spend her life wearing masks and putting on a show. In addition to her counseling work, she officiates weddings and farewells as a freelance speaker. She also preserves the life stories of "ordinary people" in written biographies and audio portraits. Her work is marked by clarity, empathy, and a fine sensitivity to the things left unspoken between the lines.
Born in 1976, Daniela is the mother of a daughter and lives with the second great love of her life - whom she, of course, met online.
