Really Useful Grown-Up Guide to Dating & Mating

The Really Useful Grown-Up Guide to Dating & Mating Dating when you're an adolescent is just awful. The awkward silences, the nervous banter, the fumbling fingers - the uncertainty of it all. No grown-up seriously wants to go back there. But dating when you're a mature adult is sometimes not a whole lot different and brings its own trials - so you need a strategy. Where do you meet someone? How do you know if they're available? How do you know if they're interested in you if they are available? How do you find out more after that first glimmer of, "OK, this one's a possible..."? More to the point, how do you get laid if you've got young or, worse, adolescent children at home? And how do you tactfully reject unwanted attention or, rather, attention from the unwanted? Especially when there are days, and nights, when almost any attention feels welcome.Not easy, huh? In order to start dating again successfully there are some really basic questions which are better answered "Yes." Answering "No" could mean you're taking off on square wheels.
