This book is a fun account of twenty-five dates that Julianna Acheson had with men. One could use it as a guidebook for success or for a comical read over a cup of coffee! Put your feet up, kick back, make yourself a latte and get ready to smile!
After finding herself divorced and trying to meet a new man, she found herself using her anthropological skills to analyze her dates. She instructs readers not only on how American culture treats the newly divorced, but also how men and women misinterpret many verbal and non-verbal cues throughout dates. Anyone reading this book will walk away with new insight in analyzing social interaction--especially when two people meet each other for the first time.
Her strategy consisted of having a cup of coffee with twenty-five men convinced that she would not be able to sort out prospective dates without meeting them. She vehemently maintains that texting a few men without meeting them, is doomed to failure. Inspired by one of her university students, the author believes that one can tell a good deal about a man from a cup of coffee with him. This is a humorous read with much insight not just on dating, but also on the interactions of men and women, on the mysteries of on-line dating, and she provides much advise on how to use social media sites to one's advantage. Whether a reader is dating or helping a friend find a mate, this book is insightful, fun, and debunks many myths about entering the mid-life dating world.
