The book shows us how things have changed on the dating scene and what we need to do to adapt, including -- / How the digital age has changed dating, from texting (the new not calling) to online dating. / The compromise: hooking up, booty calls and quasi dates -- was it or wasn't it a date? / Exit strategies -- how to pull the plug when the dating isn't working out. Dating doesn't have to be hard -- in fact, if not taken so seriously, it can be seriously fun.
