Tired of mixed messages, confusing signals, and of playing the dating game? Dating expert Zack Oates has experienced it all in this comical guide that will keep you happy and laughing. Perfect for audiences in dating situations of all kinds, these encouraging steps will help you find your celestial mate.
I've been out of the dating scene for over 20 years so normally a book like this wouldn't appeal to me at all. However, when I read the author's email, I could feel his enthusiasm and excitement so I quickly agreed to read it. I also have children that will soon be entering the dating world and thought this might be a good resource for them.
This is a fun book to read! I felt like I was having a conversation with the author and loved his sense of humor. He went on a lot of dates and has lots of material to work with. He's open about what worked well for him and what didn't. The internet, cell phones and texting weren't around when I was single so it was interesting to read how that plays into the dating scene these days.
It was interesting to read a book on dating from the male perspective. I have to say that I don't share his passion for hot tubbing, haha. There's a bonus with some fun, creative, inexpensive date ideas at the end. The final chapter is a must read and contains his best advice. This is an entertaining book that isn't just for singles--those who are married will enjoy it as well!
