Women Who Date Too Much . . . and Those Who Should Be So Lucky

Book excerpt: Have you been looking for love in all the wrong places? Are you so fed up with blind dates that you’re considering the merits of celibacy? Is even the geekiest Mr. Wrong beginning to look like Mr. Right? Frustrated singles, don’t spend another Saturday night in front of the TV with a pint of Häagen-Dazs! Bestselling humorist Linda Sunshine’s tongue-in-cheek advice will help you survive and conquer the daunting dating game with aplomb. This fully revised edition of Sunshine’s 1988 classic includes everything you need to know in the search for the man of your dreams—or at the very least, the man of your mother’s dreams. From online and blind dating to more eccentric methods such as surrogate dating, the quest for your dream date has never been more hilarious. You’ll learn: •Where to find prospective dates (off-track betting, seedy bars, and the Alaskan Tundra are top picks) •How to prepare for a date in just under six minutes–or six hours, depending on your schedule •How to turn that tawdry affair (one date) into a lasting, meaningful relationship (two dates) •How to wash that man out of your hair–without getting split ends Complete with helpful tests and quizzes (“How Desperate Are You?” and “Am I a Good Lover, or What?”), Women Who Date Too Much offers single women everywhere this compelling message of hope: “Most people aren’t really in love. They just act that way to aggravate their friends.”
