Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Raising children can make it difficult for single fathers to get back into the dating scene. With sympathy and good sense, journalist Fisher (Mom, There's a Man in the Kitchen and He's Wearing Your Robe) and psychologist Halpern remind men that children are impressionable and easily confused, so proper etiquette is vital. The authors explain how to balance time between kids and a love interest, when to introduce them and how to handle the fallout if things don't go well. (Jan. 29)

Review
“Useful.  Honest. Informative. A must read for all single dads.”—Leah Klungness, Ph.D., psychologist and co-author of The Complete Single Mother

“Ellie Slott Fisher is a single dad's best friend. Dating for Dads is warm, funny, sensitive and bursting with great advice. She proves that fatherhood doesn't preclude having a fabulous dating life.”—Jane Ganahl, author of Naked on the Page: the Misadventures of My Unmarried Midlife

“Ellie Fisher writes in such a familiar, reassuring tone, you feel like you’re getting advice from your best buddy from college. Her common-sense suggestions and game plans make the prospect of single-parent dating seem much more natural and far less intimidating.” —Hank Herman, author of Accept My Kid, Please! A Dad’s Descent into College Application Hell

“It's hard to be a single dad who's dating.  Trying to be sensitive and responsive to the feelings and needs of your children and the woman you're dating (not to mention your own), is tough territory for a man to navigate.  Ellie Slott Fisher knows that territory inside and out, and has drawn a perfect map of it in Dating for Dads.”—Robert Mark Alter, author of Good Husband, Great Marriage: Finding the Good Husband...in the Man You Married.

Getting back into the social scene after a break-up is never easy. Trying to "get a life" and be a responsible single dad can seem impossible. Down to earth and honest, this book gives single dads invaluable practical advice offered no where else. Absolutely a must-read for all single dads!
