Millions of single people — whether never married or recently divorced — put a lot of energy into meeting and dating new people, but because they don’t invest their true selves, their efforts often go nowhere. To counter this trend, Susan Campbell presents an approach to dating that many may consider radical: Be honest about yourself and ask for what you want, up front. Campbell shows people how to have fun by flirting truthfully; date without getting ahead of the relationship; enjoy the freedom of being themselves; relate with honesty to their dates; realistically examine what a romantic partner can — and can’t — offer in the way of fulfillment and happiness; and move forward when the time is right, or say goodbye if it’s not working. On the way to finding the love of their lives, readers gain the tools they need to successfully manage the entire process.
