Tina Tessina has written a wonderful book on dating that tells it like it is! There's "life" out there in the singles world - and she tells you how to make the most of it. "The Unofficial Guide to Dating Again" is informative and quick-paced with all kinds of practical advice that makes getting back in the dating scene easy. The chapters are smart and right on target. I know so many men and women who need to read and re-read her sections on: "Not just looking for dates but enjoying life," "Invite Interest by Showing Interest," and "Focus on Fun and Friendship." Too many people don't do this - and its soooo important! Even if you've been out in the dating world a while, this book is a great way to brush up on your dating skills and review some new possibilities. In fact, I think a lot of married couples would perk up their relationships by reading the sections on Sexual Intimacy and Communication! For people re-entering the dating scene after being attached a long time, author Tessina takes the fear out of going back to being single. This should be on the "Gift Registry" for anyone who's ever been divorced! So if you'd rather die than date - don't! Get yourself a copy of this book and you'll be ready in no time for dinner and a movie with someone new. It's a terrific guide for both men and women back in the dating scene.

All the dating rules have changed since I became single again. Sure, some things remain the same. Be polite, honest and have a great sense of humor. The biggest thing that is different is Internet dating. The idea of going online is a concept my generation could never conceive of, since there was no such things as personal computers during my dating years. After 30 years of marriage and a protracted divorce, I was ready to get back into the game, but scared to death. This book was very helpful, insightful and easy to read. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to start fresh. Since I'm a baby boomer, there was another book that has helped me more than any other. The author of Baby Boomer Bachelorette: How to Have Sex at Least Once More Before You Die doesn't pull any punches when she urges baby boomers to separate themselves from the herd and change their lives. And she is right there ready to tell you exactly how to do it. She says not to bother with trying to meet people anywhere other than the Internet. Sounds like good advice to me. Buy both books, and then go for it!

Very informative. Not the usual fluff these types of books are prone to contain. Provides real information and an honest view of what to expect.
