Synopsis

In 2005, Hayley and Michael DiMarco helped take the desperate out of dating with Marriable. Now they're back with a new series that will dig deeper into essential dating topics to help adult singles expose and eliminate their desperate dating habits. Let's face it. First dates can be nerve-racking and exciting at the same time. And unless they are going to marry their latest crush, adult singles will reject or be rejected. Finally, here's some great advice for post-teen readers on how to handle the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in the dating ritual. In these first two books of a creative new series, Hayley and Michael DiMarco show readers how to get a first date, what to do and say once they are there, and how to get out if it's just not clicking. With their direct, in-your-face style, the DiMarcos show adults how to survive singleness in the trenches by meeting new people, building dating relationships, and leaving desperate in the dust. Because dating's not a science--it's an art.
