A Boomer's Tour Of the Dating World

About the Book

Ten years of dedicated research spent studying the science and art of finding a date. Being a boomer is not easy. Everything has changed from when we were teenagers. This book is a tour of what is out there and how to find it. I will lead you through personal introductions and blind dates. We will visit bars and dance clubs. We will explore internet dating and dating agencies. We will look at love in the office and miscellaneous other potential spots to find true love. I will show you simple truths that should be obvious to all. Then I will take you down the path of introduction to who you will find at the other end of the phone when you ask for that date. What are profiles and what do they really mean? What can you expect on a date that you would not have expected thirty years ago? Through all this valuable and important information, you will find stories of dates that prove the validity of the research. You will meet many wonderful, and some strange, examples of who is out there in the dating world waiting for you to call. After finishing this tour, I still will not guarantee you will find that person who will join you on the road to Happily-Ever-After Land. Nevertheless, at the end of this tour you will be better prepared to find that someone and keep on that road you seek.
