Dating for Dummies

For Dummies series

Dating can be great or it can be the absolute pits, whether you're 17 or 70. The basic story of dating hasn't changed in thousands of years - boy meets girl and they make a connection. So why such sweaty palms if the dating game is so old? No, it's not because you're the nerd of the universe and everyone else is way cooler than you are. It's because the rules have all changed. On top of that, dating can feel really scary because it has to do with big-ticket items: the opposite sex and rejection. Yikes! Dating For Dummiesis your guide to the dating scene if you have never dated, have rarely dated, or if you've experienced a life change and want to start dating again. Whether you're a teenager, young adult, divorced, widowed, or an older adult, this useful reference can help you meet, date, and start a relationship with the person of your dreams.
