Book excerpt: "Date Like a Grownup: Anecdotes, Admissions of Guilt & Advice Between Friends" examines the impact of loneliness and social obsolescence on men and women in their second single lives and provides punctuating proof that looking for love from a place of isolation is as unwise as grocery shopping on an empty stomach. Unlike many other relationship manuals, this book is not a guide to game playing and winning temporary partners. Instead, readers will develop a personalized strategy for building a life foundation that facilitates growing a "right fit" relationship. Topics include: effective filtering, navigating social media and online dating, avoiding isolation and how to strategically grow a larger social network. Engaging narratives such as "The Percocet Proposal" and "Need Meets Greed" underline specific dating principles outlined in the book and affirm that none of us are immune to bad choices. With at least half of the adult population attempting a "do-over" on their most committed relationship--and many getting it wrong yet a second time--these proven "do's and don'ts"are first date gold for men and women navigating midlife dating in hopes of building a bigger, better life.
