Product Description

A heartfelt message from Kim

I was madly in love with my husband for 12 years and never in a million years thought that we would end up going through a bitter divorce. I was scared, lonely, angry, and had no idea what to do next. I blindly stepped into the dating world and failed miserably. My friends and family kept telling me it would get better but it got worse with time! I thought being pretty, intelligent, nice, and well dressed was enough. It wasn’t, I tried therapy, coaching, and dating books but nothing worked for me. Until I met Mike the MasterDater…

How a MasterDater changed my dating life!

Mike was a guest on my radio show, “Divorce Guru.” The topic was how to date successfully after a divorce. Instead of interviewing Mike for the benefit of my worldwide listeners I dropped my professional radio host hat and started asking Mike what the heck I was doing wrong in my dating life!

Someone to answer your dating questions…

After we were off-air Mike told me I could call him anytime with any dating questions. I said thank you impressed that he was willing to help, but not wanting to be a bother, until…

• I went on a seemingly “great date” never to get called back! WTF??
• A met a hot guy and he had the audacity to demand sex on the third date!
• A guy that seemed so cool in person kept sending me filthy text messages, grrrr… (Mike stopped this with one text)
• I asked a guy out after Mike told me not to and it failed miserably… (Learn from us how to do this correctly!)
• I went out to dinner with someone I thought was a keeper, but when the bill arrived he pulled out a calculator!
• My online profile kept attracting FREAKS! (So easy to fix this)
• I kept meeting married men that wanted to sleep with me. (We teach you the pitfalls of even considering this)

Mike was always there for me and now WE want to return the favor to you.

Men do NOT think like women…

Mike responded to all of my “newly broken up” and “newly dating again” questions with answers that I would never have guessed! But Mike is a man (a straight man the understands both men and women) and was telling me exactly what the men I went on dates with were thinking…and not thinking! I really had no idea what was going on, and without Mike’s help I would have never made it so far, so fast.

Everyone needs a guide to lead the way…

I told Mike “I wish all my girlfriends, listeners and readers, had someone like you to guide them and give them the lowdown on what they should and shouldn’t do when it comes to dating and men.” Mike replied, “Why don’t we write a book?” 126 pages, 50,000 words, and 1 hour of video later, the guide was born! (9 Killer Videos are Included with the book)

You probably assumed you would be with this one man forever, only to find that “happily ever after” usually doesn’t mean forever

We understand this and we want to take your hand and lead you to the perfect relationship.

More About the Author

In his winding river of a life Mike made many interesting stops along the way to becoming a relationship expert. At 18 he worked on the oil platforms in Long Beach as an underwater welder. In a move to impress the family, he went back to college in premed. Later he finished college with a degree from UC Davis in Nutritional Biochemistry with a minor in Exercise Physiology. Once Mike realized that he had to go to either Med school or get a job he did the most logical thing he could. He ran away to Japan for 7 years.

"Never never land" Japan captured Mike's heart. He worked as a kindergarten teacher and a minister (don't ask). There he lived a perpetual 24-year-old's lifestyle. Determined to never grow up didn't quite work out and he found himself back in the US to publish a book he wrote on weight loss. After this failed utterly, Mike started his blog and finally learned how to write. Now Mike churns out books and bums around Asia, pretty much what he has always wanted to do.

Mike became a relationship expert strangely enough from his experience as a fitness/life coach. To Mike's surprise all his experience helping people achieve a better existence translated directly to having exceptional relationships. That was many years ago, and now with a ridiculous amount of dating experience and hundreds of thousands of words on his blog helping others, Mike is now truly an expert, something that no formal education can match.

You want the blunt truth? Sick of the psycho babble other "experts" lift from Textbooks? You want to stop wasting time? Mike undoubtedly has the solutions for you, all nicely packaged with an icing of hilarity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful book for ALL women who are dating men!, April 28, 2011

This review is from: From Ex to Next! - An Empowered Woman's Guide to Dating Again (Kindle Edition)

From Ex to Next! may specialize in women who are re-entering the dating pool but the useful information in this book makes it a great handbook for all women who want to better understand themselves as they learn more about the men they are attracted to. The authors cleverly weave their male and female perspective in a fun, descriptive style. Kim and Mike are a perfect combination while they provide for the reader stories and examples from their own lives that are insightful, intelligent and at times profound. Though it's written in an amusing style be assured this book is substantial with no "fluff" or "filler"! Besides clear and witty writing there's a surprise bonus between the pages. Kim and Mike include videos and links throughout the book to support and provide more information.

I thought after "experiencing" this book I got a real deal for the money but how do you put a price tag on something that changes your life?

Kim and Mike....
Thank you...thank you...thank you.
The one thing I really needed to move forward was in your book. I had gone 90% of the way on my own. But I found what I was missing in your book. The one puzzle piece that would give me what I needed to move on was right there waiting for me. I always knew that the most important part of every experience was figuring out what I could take away from it. For some stupid reason, I could not figure out what that was with my divorce until I read what Mike said about his dad. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're going through a divorce and are even thinking about dating you NEED this book!, July 26, 2010

This review is from: From Ex to Next! - An Empowered Woman's Guide to Dating Again (Kindle Edition)

Dating after divorce (especially after a long-term marriage) can feel very scary and confusing. The authors of this book know that, instinctively and empathetically, and reading it will make you feel as if you have two smart, cool, wise friends holding your hand and watching your back. What makes this book unique (and more than worth purchasing) is the male/female perspective and the accessibly chatty tone. This is the kind of book you sit down and read cover to cover... laughing and crying and nodding your head... and when you finish it, you know you have the courage to Get Back on the Horse with renewed vigor.

The sooner you buy this book, the sooner you will get off the couch and back in the game.

Buy this book immediately. It is THE dating after divorce bible! I can not recommend it highly enough.
