Product Description
For many varied reasons, a vast numbers of adults may find themselves single. Maybe they've postponed marriage to concentrate on a career. Perhaps they find themselves alone after divorce or the breakup of a long-term relationship. Or maybe their reaching out again after the death of their spouse. But the one thing they have in common is questions, questions, and more questions about just how to reenter the dating scene. The Unofficial Guide to Dating, Again explains the range of dating options available today and provides practical tools that will help readers assess their needs, research their options, and make decisions accordingly. Touching on such issues as STDs, AIDS, date rape, sexual harassment, lifestyle changes, social changes, and self-esteem, along with concerns about stepfamilies, children, and mature dating, this book will provide unbiased, street-smart information to those facing this adventure once again.

From the Back Cover
The inside scoop… for when you want more than the official line! Your last relationship ended and you've spent some time on your own. Now you're ready for romance once again. But it's been a long time since you've surveyed the dating scene, and the rules have changed. Where should you go to meet new people? How should you act on a first date? Who pays for what? And what about… sex? You need to know how to catch someone's eye, arrange a date, and avoid the common pitfalls that can turn a first encounter into a nightmare. And you want to keep yourself safe in the process. You want the inside scoop. The Unofficial Guide™ to Dating Again is designed to give savvy people like you a foolproof appraisal of what works and what doesn't—the good dating strategies and the bad ones—with unbiased recommendations that are not influenced by any company, product, or organization.

Vital Information that other sources can't or won't reveal—from how to boost your self-esteem to salvaging a first date that's going nowhere fast. Insider Secrets from relationship counselors and real people who've survived the dating scene. Money-Saving Techniques for everything from investing in a little dating finery to dating venues that won't break your bankroll. Time-Saving Tips for keeping your soon-to-be blossoming social life from interfering with your day-to-day responsibilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect gift for a friend who hasn't a clue, February 12, 2000
By Susan K. Perry "Susan K. Perry" (Los Angeles, author of LOVING IN FLOW (BunnyApe.com)) - See all my reviews
I was looking for some "official" advice for a friend of ours (hi, Jeff!) who is seeking a new partner but whose confidence has been badly shattered by what he thinks of as "failures" in his love life. Tessina's book says everything I've been trying to tell him and more: how to start over, keeping your expectations reasonable, how important it is to work out the old baggage BEFORE you start a new relationship, etc. Plus such priceless insight as the impossibility of truly changing another person all by yourself. The section on modern dating etiquette could be quite helpful, too, to anyone who's been out of circulation for some time. Very sane, comforting, clear, and, jargon-free. (Susan K. Perry, author of WRITING IN FLOW)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, helpful, April 11, 1999
By A Customer
After scanning plenty of books on this and related subjects, it was a relief to find this one. She speaks directly to the topic of returning to the world of dating after a substantial loss in one's life. Free of jargon, babble, and exclamation points, it goes right to the major points to consider when re-entering the world of singles. Invaluable. Concrete, well-laid out, speaks to my issues and maybe to yours.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a so so kind of a read, November 20, 2001
I haven't dated in over 10 years, so needless to say, I'm rusty! I thought maybe this book could get me back into the swing of things. There wasn't much to get me going. It was all too much common sense. I already knowhow to dress the part. I already know how to act like a gentleman when I'm around a woman. And, I already know where to find a woman to ask for a date. They are all over the place, and this book gives a list of places on where to meet them??? Ho hum! It has some good tips to use, but not enough in my particular case. I'm rusty, but not that rusty! This would be a very good book for the younger man and woman who are just getting into dating.
