Preface This book is a culmination of life experiences of a single women forced into the dating scene at the age of forty-five after 15 years of marriage. It is light-hearted humor with a touch of cynicism. It entails actual meetings with men along with critical advice for the new divorcee. It can teach the new dater what men are really saying through their actions and translate what their words really mean. My hope is for all women who are newly divorced or suddenly single will take heed and learn to date with both eyes open in order to find fulfillment in this transitional process in their life and understand that sometimes being alone is not a bad place to be.
