THIS IS TRULY A BAD BOOK. I LOOKED THE PUBLISHER UP AND ITS A VANITY PRESS, IN OTHER WORDS A PAID FOR BY THE AUTHOR PUBLISHING HOUSE. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT GOT ON AMAZON. ITS RAMBLINGS OF AN OLDER GENTLEMEN ABOUT VARIOUS DATES HE HAS HAD IT THE PAST. ITS CLEAR HE DOES NOT HAVE SPELL CHECK. I THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF HINT OF DIFFERENT THINGS HE TRIED, OTHTER THAN TRY YOUR LOCAL SENIOR CENTER.....A TRUE WASTE OF MONEY, I AM SELLING MINE ON AMAZON. IT HAS INSPIRED ME TO WRITE MY OWN BOOK, WHICH WILL BE SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER AND HAVE SOME GOOD INFORMATION.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. IT IS POORLY WRITTEN, HAS THE GUY NEVER HEARD OF SPELL CHECK. I AM THINKING THAT THIS MUST BE PUBLISHED BY A KIND OF VANITY PRESS. I HAVE MORE ADVENTURES AND BETTER STORIES THAN THIS PERSON. TELLS YOU NOTHING THAT YOU DID NOT ALREADY KNOW, GIVES ADVICE LIKE CHECK YOUR LOCAL SENIOR CENTER, REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT HAS GIVEN ME AN IDEA TO WRITE MY OWN BOOK, WHICH WOULD BE MUCH BETTER AND GIVE SOME ACTUAL PLACES TO TRY....A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY, WILL TRY TO RESELL IT ON AMAZON.

This is a great book for seniors re-entering the dating scene after a number of years. The book has a reassuring, upbeat tone. It describes things that may have changed since the last time you dated, such as a more informal dress code. It suggests and analyzes the pros and cons of several ways to meet other single seniors (including but not limited to dance classes, senior centers, singles groups geared towards seniors, internet) best places to go, gives good advice about making the best appearance/impression, and matter-of-factly covers intimacy in detail for both men and women, from emotional/physical issues, to treatments available, to boosting one's self confidence, etc. It also discusses how women, in particular, may sometimes subconsciously sabotage their chances for long-term commitment.

The second half of the book describes many of the author's own dating experiences, sometimes in explicit detail. So if you are offended by such talk, I recommend skipping the second half of this book.
