Summary: Perspective, PLEASE!
Review: I ordered Dr. Helgoe's book from Amazon in December and could hardly wait for it to be released. When I finally got my copy in the mail, I read most of it in one sitting and am already working on my second time through it. As a boomer (47 years old) who suddenly found himself single again, I was so out of touch (and terrified) about dating. I hadn't been out on a "first date" in over twenty years. After reading the chapters on "Letting Go" and "Dating Fears", I knew I was in good hands. She really nailed what I was experiencing. Having stumbled through a few dates so far, I know I am going to really benefit from the advice in the meeting people and dating chapters. I enjoy the way she brings in the voices of experience (can anyone say "horror stories"). I'll be sure to reread the relevant chapters right before my next date. I recommend this book to anyone who is dating again... but I'll also recommend it to happily married couples that just might need to think about dating each other again. Keep the romance alive!

Summary: Funny and relevant
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It's great to know I'm not the only one out there facing these issues. The material was presented in a very readable style. I read the whole book in one sitting even though it is over 200 pages. I'm sure a lot of the things discussed by other boomers will come to mind when I need them most. I recommend this book for anyone facing dating, whether they are a boomer or not.

Summary: Heavensent
Review: Just what this lost dater has been looking for. I was thrilled to stumble across a book that geared dating advice specifically toward this middle-aged guy newly on the dating scene. This book addressed all of my fears and anticipated so many others. The wisdom found in these pages is sure to put any dating (again) boomer on track and well-equipped for an often frightening experience. Loved the author's humor and boomer bits. It took me back but also propelled me forward! Thanks Alpha Books and Dr. Helgoe for this clever guide. Definitely recommending to dating friends.

Summary: A Boomer's Delight
Review: This is a delightful book filled with useful information that is smartly written. It covers a wide range of issues facing us Baby Boomers who are dating again. It's easy to go directly to specific subjects that interest you, but I enjoyed reading it from cover to cover. The little sidebars, "From the Mouths of Baby Boomers," are especially nice, because they provide the views of many Boomers in different situations and add to the insights of the author. (There's even an appropriate one from the offspring of a Baby Boomer on page 39.) Dating might be tough at any age, but this book is easy to read and lots of help.
