Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Taking up where Emily Post and Miss Manners left off, Diane Mapes counsels the dating-distressed on today's new rules of courtship. This smart, savvy etiquette guide addresses both nuts-and-bolts questions (Who asks? Who pays? Who makes the first call? Who brings out the condoms?) as well as the more puzzling aspects of modern romance (Do I really need to tell my new girlfriend that I had her investigated?). Advice, behavioral examples, and dating horror stories are gleaned from a number of sources, including singles, psychologists, scholars, authors, etiquette experts, relationship coaches, and the most well-mannered people on earth, Southern women and gay men. From how to avoid dating a serial killer to what to do at a snuggle part, "How to Date" provides single men and women, gay and straight, with a step-by-step road map for navigating today's romantic quicksand with humor, grace, and aplomb.

Diane Mapes offers great insight on how to have something to offer when dating, and how to be a truly more attractive being.

I cannot agree more. Wanting the best from our dates is one thing, but having much to offer is even more important. That?s why I invest myself in being an interesting person, having interesting things to talk about, care about the world around me, by joining services such as Agogus.com which makes it easy to do.

I greatly recommend this book.

A stunningly hilarious and informative compilation of contemporary do's and don't's for folks of every gender and persuasion. Extremely thorough and well-written. And did I mention hilarious?
