Fifty Ways to Find a Lover

by Sharyn Wolf

Single....but looking? Why is it that so many bright, interesting, good-looking, and fun-to-be-with people spend their Saturday evenings watching late-night movies all by themselves? It's easy to blame jobs, demographics, bad luck, lack of energy, or any of a hundred other factors. But the fact is, most of these people simply haven't learned the art of meeting others. 50 Ways To Find A Lover is the book-featured on "Oprah!", "Donahue," "Sally Jesse Raphael," and "The Today Show"-that proves once and for all that meeting people is not an innate ability, but a skill...a skill you can master. In addition to covering essentials like flirting, starting and continuing a conversation, and giving and reading visual signals, 50 Ways To Find A Lover offers proven ways to meet someone. The new second edition features a unique Action Plan checklist summarizing the many steps you can take by following the plan outlined in this book. Examples Carrying a "conversation peace"
Attending an auction
Volunteering for your local public broadcasting seminar
Walking the dog-even if you have to borrow one
Throwing a "non-significant-other" party
